Celine Dion is on the verge of releasing an anticipated album called
Taking Chances in only a week. Her career has spanned over 26 years. At
this year's World Music Awards, Celine took home the Legend Award for
her outstanding success in music around the world. The tapping will be
broadcast worldwide throughout November.

The World Music Awards features the world's best selling artists of
various countries and commends them on their major success globally.
This year, the awards are back home in Monte Carlo, hosted by Prince
Albert II. The awards are given out based on sales of records, not by
popularity and voting committees such as the Grammy Awards or American
Music Awards, giving artists a fair chance at winning. John Kennedy, the
Chairman of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry
(IFPI) in which has been encouraging fans to legally buy their favorite
records, will be attending to honor each winner in person.

Each year, an artist is presented with the Legend Award. This award is
given to those who have had outstanding success worldwide and
contributed significantly to the music industry. Previous winners of the
award include Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Elton John,
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and many many more.

This year, looking better than ever, Celine Dion had the pleasure of
accepting the award for her success in selling more than 200 million
records worldwide over her 26 years in the business. It was presented to
her by Prince Albert, who said her voice "soothes the world's hearts and
creates smiles of love across the face of the world."

Celine spoke in her native Canadian French dialect and she thanked the
most important people who made her career flourish, her family. Growing
up, Celine would sing with her 13 siblings and her parents who each were
invested in music. She also thanked her fans around the world for
helping her achieve the success.

"A huge thanks to my fans who have supported me throughout the years,"
she spoke with immense sincerity in French.

After her acceptance, Celine took the stage to sing her latest single
"Taking Chances," taken from her upcoming album of the same name due out
November 13th in the U.S.

In 2004, Celine took home the Diamond Award at the same award show which
is given to those who sell more than 100 million albums worldwide.

The World Music Awards will air November 22nd on MYNETWORKTV in the U.S
at 8 p.m.
