Background

On 7 July 2005, celinedion.com announced that a new album featuring Dion's French-language greatest hits was to be released in October 2005. [1] The two-CD compilation titled On ne change pas was to contain as yet unreleased material, including the first single written by Jacques Veneruso, "Je ne vous oublie pas". [1] [2] On 22 August 2005, the track listing for On ne change pas was announced and the album was scheduled for release on 3 October 2005 in Europe and 4 October 2005 in North America. [3] However, in some European countries, On ne change pas was released on 30 September 2005. [4] [5] The music video for "Je ne vous oublie pas" premiered on television on 31 August 2005. [6] It was filmed at the Royal Impérial Theatre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 29 July 2005 and directed by Didier Kerbrat who already worked with Dion on the video for "Contre Nature" in 2004. [2] [6]

Content

Sony Music Entertainment released different versions of the album but all of them include three new songs: "Je ne vous oublie pas", "Tous les secrets" and "I Believe in You" (duet with Il Divo). [3] The standard edition was issued on two CDs in a jewel case and the collector's edition digipak contains also a bonus DVD with thirty minutes of exclusive images and the music video for "Je ne vous oublie pas". [3] The North American edition includes Dion's French-language hits from the 1990s and 2000s, but also focuses heavily on the songs form the 1980s which made her a star in Quebec, beginning with the 1981 debut single, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve". [3] The European edition features mostly songs which became popular in France and also contains some rare tracks. [3] It includes hits like "Pour que tu m'aimes encore", "Je sais pas", "Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)", "Tout l'or des hommes", "S'il suffisait d'aimer" and "D'amour ou d'amitié", but also the number-one single "Sous le vent", which was available on Garou's debut album only, and "Ma Nouvelle-France" recorded for the 2004 film, Battle of the Brave (Nouvelle-France). [3] [7] In November 2005, the ultimate edition was released in Europe and Canada, containing three CDs and a bonus DVD in a longbox. [8] It features fifty songs recorded between 1981 and 2005, including all the French-language hits and various rare tracks. [8] In late March 2006, the one-disc edition was issued in Europe and Canada featuring nineteen greatest hits on one CD. [9] An accompanying On ne change pas DVD was also released in November 2005, including Dion's French music videos and a bonus material.

The album met with positive reviews. According to Rob Theakston from AllMusic, "On ne change pas is without no doubt a companion piece to 1999's All the Way... A Decade of Song . Dion amassed quite a back catalog of the French-language hits ranging from dance-pop-friendly numbers to her familiar ground of passionate, melodramatic ballads. For those unfamiliar with this portion of her career (or for those who don't speak French), getting past the roadblock of not being able to understand the subject material will lead to a greater, more holistic appreciation of the depth and prolific output of her career in such a short span...On the plus side there are a few new tracks including her duet with Il Divo, "I Believe in You" (duet with Il Divo)". [32]

In Canada, On ne change pas debuted at number two selling 34,000 copies. [33] In the second week, the album stayed at number two, which became its peak position, with sales of 16,000 units.

[36] In France, it stayed at the top for seven consecutive weeks and became the best selling compilation album in 2005. [37] In the first week, it sold 109,000 copies and the next week 71,000 units. On ne change pas was certified 3× Platinum in France and has sold over 790,000 copies there. [38] [39] The album also peaked at number one for three consecutive weeks in Belgium Wallonia and number two in Switzerland, and was certified Platinum in Belgium and Gold in Switzerland. [40] [41] [42]
