Background

On 24 August 2007, Dion's official website announced that the singer will release her new English-language album Taking Chances on 12 November 2007 in Europe and 13 November 2007 in North America. [1] The album was also scheduled for release in Japan on 7 November 2007 and in Australia and New Zealand on 10 November 2007. [2] Dion said about Taking Chances: "I think it represents a positive evolution in my career. I'm feeling strong, maybe a little gutsier than in the past, and just as passionate about music and life as I ever was". [1] On 2 September 2007, album's cover became available for TeamCeline members. [3] However, six days later, Columbia Records has made small changes to the Taking Chances cover. [4] The first single form the album, "Taking Chances" was sent to radio stations on 10 September 2007 and the video of Dion recording the song in the studio was posted on Amazon.com. [5] [6] On 12 September 2007, Columbia Records informed in a press release that "Taking Chances" was written by Kara DioGuardi and Eurythmics' David A. Stewart, and produced by the Grammy Award–winner John Shanks, and that the album will be followed by the Taking Chances World Tour in 2008 and 2009. [5] The music video for the first single was filmed on 17 September 2007 in several different locations in the Las Vegas area and directed by Paul Boyd. [7] The video became available for TeamCeline members on 16 October 2007 and later premiered on television. [8]

Content

The album was recorded mainly over a three-week period in July 2007 at Palm Studios in Las Vegas. [9] Dion collaborated with a group of well-known songwriters and producers including: Linda Perry, Eurythmics' David A. Stewart, ex-Evanescence member Ben Moody, Ne-Yo, John Shanks, Kara DioGuardi, Kristian Lundin, Anders Bagge, Peer Åström, Aldo Nova, Tricky Stewart and Christopher Neil. [9] One of Dion's favorite songs on the album is "That's Just the Woman in Me" written by Kimberley Rew, ex-member of Katrina and the Waves. [9] "That's Just the Woman in Me" was offered to Dion fifteen years ago but it wasn't until she began working on her new album that she knew the song perfectly suited this new phase of her artistic development. [9] Dion said: "I think this album represents a positive evolution in my career. As time goes by, and we have more experiences in life, it's easier to get in touch with our innermost feelings....to know more about what we really want, how we really feel". [9] Other covers on the album include: Heart's "Alone", Platinum Weird's "Taking Chances", Linda Perry's "New Dawn" and Tim Christensen's "Right Next to the Right One". [9]

Taking Chances received mixed reviews from most music critics upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received a weighted average score of 53 based on 8 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [37]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic rated it 3 stars and said that Taking Chances is "an album of its time: it offers extravagance in the guise of self-help, which can be alluring in doses, especially those bizarre blues-rockers, but it's just too much of a very expensive yet not particularly tasteful thing. [39] The Billboard review said that: "Packing an emotional wallop, Chances should quash critics who insist that Dion's voice is stainless steel". [41] Bill Lamb of About.com rate the album three-stars out of five, and said: "listening to 16 consecutive songs can be an endurance test for even the most ardent Celine fan. 14 of the songs here suffer, to various degrees, from leaning to the ordinary or seeming to lack in inspired artistic fire. However, they are sandwiched by 2 brilliant tracks that, sadly, give a hint of what Taking Chances might have been". [38] Sarah Rodhman from The Boston Globe commented that: "Are chances taken? Not many, but there are rewards if you're willing to enjoy Dion's precise vocalizing and the hooky songs". [42]

The Entertainment Weekly review saw that: "It's cool that Dion can mimic everyone from Shakira to Sam Phillips...but her appalling Janis Joplin impression is a Chance too far". [43] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine opined that: "The laborious 16-track record purportedly finds the queen of adult contemporary-turned-Vegas attraction taking chances by modernizing her treacly power ballad sound with lots of overdubbed guitars and of-the-moment collaborators". [47] The Amazon.com review was positive, saying that: "As far as standard Celine fare goes, in fact, Chances is likely her strongest non-French outing since 2002's A New Day Has Come ; nobody unfolds a lyric with more care or nuance". [40] The NOW review, expressed that: "The album is also comfortably ignorant of the times. With its feathery production and common pop arrangements, it could have come out in 1996". [45] Edna Gundersen from USA Today said that: "With Chances, the diva seems to be stretching artistic muscles, yoga-style not aerobically, and seeking an escape from expectations". [49] Ashante Infantry from Toronto Star concluded that: "Taking Chances, Dion's 10th album, finds her doing just that. With an obvious reach for contemporary radio, Dion padded the efforts of longtime collaborators with in-the-now hitmakers: Ne-Yo, Linda Perry and Ben Moody, who co-wrote the self-empowering anthem "This Time" about an abused woman breaking free. The result is an edgier rock sound that won't alienate loyal fans, but may engage some new ones". [48]

Commercial performance

Two months before its official release worldwide, Taking Chances was among the most pre-ordered albums on Amazon. [50] According to IFPI, Taking Chances was the 8th best-selling album by a female artist of 2007 worldwide, with sales of over 3.1 million copies in 2007 alone. [51]

[52] Garnering two of the highest sales entries in Canada for two different albums in one year gave Dion an unprecedented achievement in Canadian Nielsen SoundScan history.

[54] [55] [56] Dion returned to the top of the chart for the final week of 2007, selling another 13,000 copies. [57] Because of this commercial success, Taking Chances became the third best-selling album in Canada in 2007 according to Nielsen SoundScan, with sales of 301,000 units. [58] The album spent two more weeks inside top ten in Canada. In July 2008, it was certified four-times Platinum by the CRIA for shipping over 400,000 copies. [59] It also became the number-one album on the 2008 Billboard year-end chart in Canada. [60]

United States

In the United States, Taking Chances debuted at number three selling 215,000 units. [61] Later, it fell to number eight and remained at that position for two weeks with sales of 128,000 and 93,000 copies, respectively. [62] [63] For the next four weeks, the album stayed inside top twenty on the Billboard 200, selling 84,000 (number twelve), 92,000 (number fifteen), 134,000 (number eighteen) and 50,000 units (number twenty), respectively. [64] Taking Chances was certified Platinum by the RIAA in February 2008 and has sold 1.1 million copies there as of May 2010. [65] [66] [67]
