The Canadian Record Industry Assn. (CRIA) yesterday declared Quebec superstar Celine Dion "the best-selling Canadian recording artist of the century." In a tally of domestic and international sales by CRIA, it was determined that Dion had sold more recordings than any other Canadian artist ever.

"Celine has sold almost 9 million albums in Canada, and her worldwide album sales are over 110 million units," notes CRIA president Brian Robertson. The vocalist's latest 550/Epic release, "All The Way ... A Decade Of Song," is at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 this week.

In other news, Dion and husband Rene Angelil renewed their marriage vows in a religious ceremony Wednesday in Las Vegas. Dion has pledged to take at least a year off from her career to concentrate on starting a family with Angelil.
