Biggest-selling Eurovision Song Contest act (solo)

Céline Dion (Canada) won the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) for Switzerland in 1988 with “Ne partez pas sans moi” (“Don’t Leave Without Me”). The singer has amassed worldwide sales of more than 200.5 million records – a figure that includes physical albums and singles, digital singles and streams (equivalent album sales).

Dion’s biggest-selling albums worldwide include The Colour of My Love (1993), D’eux (1995), Falling into You (1996), Let’s Talk About Love (1997), All the Way… A Decade of Song (1999) and A New Day Has Come (2002).

She is best remembered for the mega-selling singles “Beauty and the Beast” (with Peabo Bryson, 1991), “The Power of Love” (1993), “Think Twice” (1994), “Because You Loved Me” (1996), “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” (1996) and the Titanic classic “My Heart Will Go On” (1997).

ABBA are the biggest-selling group to have taken part in Eurovision. After winning for Sweden in 1974 with “Waterloo”, the quartet have gone on to sell in excess of 166.3 million records worldwide.

Madonna, with worldwide record sales of more than 250.3 million, appeared at the 2019 ESC as an interval-act performer but has never represented a country in the final or semi-finals.
