Celine Dion's fourth English-language album, released in March 1996, marked her ascent to global superstardom. At the 39th Annual Grammy Awards held in early 1997, this album took home the music industry's most prestigious prize, Album of the Year, as well as the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. The win solidified Dion's status as a powerhouse vocalist and a dominant force in popular music for the decade.

The album's massive success was fueled by a string of iconic hit singles that defined the sound of the mid-90s. It included the soaring Diane Warren-penned ballad "Because You Loved Me" from the film *Up Close & Personal*, the epic rock-opera-inspired "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," and a powerful cover of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself."

Combining pop, soul, and classical influences, the record was a commercial juggernaut, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time with over 32 million copies sold worldwide. This era of success set the stage perfectly for her next monumental hit, "My Heart Will Go On," from the 1997 film *Titanic*, cementing her legacy as a music legend.
