"Les chansons en or" (meaning "The Golden Songs") is a French greatest hits album by Canadian singer Céline Dion, released in Quebec, Canada on June 2 1986. It's her 12th French album and 2nd greatest hits.

Album information

Dion was very hardworking during the past 5 years. She had recorded 9 albums for the Canadian market (5 regular releases, 2 Christmas albums, 1 live recording, and 1 greatest hits). She had also released 2 compilations in France. Dion got gold and platinum certifications for her albums and singles and received 11 Félix Awards and 2 Yamaha Music Festival Awards. It was about time to sum up those achievements and that's how "Les chansons en or" was born.

It was promoted by the new song "Fais ce que tu voudras," which reached number 36 on the Quebec chart.

Dion did her first French music video for that single. Her first commercial video ever was for an English song "Listen to the Magic Man" in 1985. It was Dion's first movie song as well as her first English song recorded in the studio. This greatest hits album was Céline Dion's first album released on a CD.
