All the Way... A Decade of Song is the first English-language greatest hits album by Canadian singer Celine Dion. Released by Sony Music on 12 November 1999, it features nine previously released songs on most editions and seven new recordings on all editions. Dion worked on new tracks mainly with David Foster. Other producers include Max Martin, Kristian Lundin, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, James Horner, and Matt Serletic. It is the best-selling greatest hits album by a female solo artist in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era. All the Way... A Decade of Song has sold over 22 million copies worldwide, including over nine million in the United States, five million in Europe, two million in Japan and one million units in Canada.
All the Way... A Decade of Song garnered generally mixed reviews from music critics, who praised the included hits but questioned the inclusion of seven new songs. Out of all of the new recordings, the first single "That's the Way It Is" was generally praised. The album became a commercial success throughout the world and peaked at number one in most major music markets. It placed at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200 Year-End Chart in the year 2000{{Cite magazine|title=Billboard 200 Albums - Year-End|url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/year-end/2000/top-billboard-200-albums|access-date=3 October 2021|magazine=Billboard}} and placed at No. 26 on the US Billboard 200 Decade-End chart.
Background
After ten years of standing in the spotlight, Celine Dion decided to go on vacation. "I'm looking forward to having no schedule, no pressure, to not caring about whether it's raining or not, just visiting with family and friends, cooking at home, trying to seriously have a child. I want no pressure for a while," she said.{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eggEAAAAMBAJ&q=dion|title=Dion Goes 'All the Way' on Epic 550|date=6 November 1999|access-date=14 May 2012|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc}} Before Dion embarked on her two-year respite from the music industry beginning 1 January 2000, she prepared All the Way... A Decade of Song to cap a ten-year period in which she had sold over 100 million records worldwide.{{cite web|title=Celine Dion: All The Way... A Decade of Song |publisher=celinedion.com |url=http://www.celinedion.com/music/all-way-decade-song |access-date=14 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512205847/http://www.celinedion.com/music/all-way-decade-song |archive-date=12 May 2012 }} In the 1990s, Dion transformed herself from a regional Canadian success into one of the world's most successful pop artists. In that time, she released six English-language albums, from 1990's Unison to All the Way... A Decade of Song, and six newly recorded French albums, picking up numerous awards, including five Grammys.
The process of putting together All the Way... A Decade of Song was laborious for all involved, from balancing the number of hits and new songs to ensuring that each of the latest tracks showed a new side of Dion. "We had hourly conversations, back and forth, about what the combination should be," said John Doelp, the album's co-executive producer. He added, "We wanted to make sure we had some new sounds and that we were able to go to new places". Co-executive producer Vito Luprano added: "The first idea was to record three new songs, then Dion said, 'Let's go for five,' her lucky number. But we had so many great songs coming in that we ended up recording nine. Out of that, we decided to go with seven".

A Decade of Song contains nine greatest hits (ten on the Japanese version) with seven new songs in one single-disc package.{{cite web| title=Celine's Decade Of Song| publisher=celinedion.com| url=http://www.celinedion.com/node/1601| access-date=14 May 2012| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119045627/http://www.celinedion.com/node/1601| archive-date=19 January 2013| df=dmy-all}} Collaborators include Max Martin; Robert John "Mutt" Lange; James Horner and Will Jennings, who wrote "My Heart Will Go On"; Québec songwriter/producer Luc Plamondon; Diane Warren; and David Foster. The Jennings/Horner track "Then You Look at Me" was also placed in December 1999 on the film soundtrack Bicentennial Man, starring Robin Williams; and Plamondon's "Live (for the One I Love)", which has been translated from its original French version "Vivre", appeared in February 2000 on the French stage-show album Notre-Dame de Paris.
The first single, "That's the Way It Is" is an optimistic uptempo song, co-written and co-produced by Max Martin, best known for his work with young pop artists. Other highlights on All the Way... A Decade of Song include a remake of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", which Dion performed acoustically in her Let's Talk About Love World Tour; the Robert John "Mutt" Lange ballad "If Walls Could Talk", with Shania Twain on background vocals; the power ballad "I Want You to Need Me" from Diane Warren; another, orchestrated power ballad "Then You Look at Me;" and a song Dion and René Angélil were married to, "All the Way", here in a virtual duet with Frank Sinatra.

All the Way... A Decade of Song garnered generally mixed reviews from music critics. Although Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, he criticized it for including seven new songs and just nine hits. He felt that the album had "glaring omissions", such as Dion's first American hit, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", and her duet with Barbra Streisand, "Tell Him".{{Citation |title=The Collector's Series, Vol. 1 - Céline Dion ... {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-collectors-series-vol-1-mw0000104418 |access-date=2025-03-23 |language=en}} Phil Sutcliffe from Q called the album a "strange hybrid" that was "neither comprehensively greatest nor best". Dave Veitch from the Calgary Sun felt that "fans may be disappointed" that some hits were not included. Erlewine considered "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and "My Heart Will Go On" to be "among the best adult contemporary songs of the decade," but felt that aside from "That's the Way It Is" and "If Walls Could Talk", the new material was not memorable.
Michael Paoletta from Billboard gave it a positive review. Regarding the seven new songs, he wrote: "All the Way... A Decade of Song is Dion's most focused album yet, drawing on a team of collaborators that understands this artists's strengths".{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_fAgEAAAAMBAJ|quote=DION.|title=Reviews & Previews > Artists & Music > Albums > Spotlight > All the Way... A Decade of Song|date=13 November 1999|access-date=14 May 2012|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc}} Chuck Taylor from Billboard praised "That's the Way It Is". He wrote that Dion "at last ups the tempo with the irresistible first single." Taylor applauded the pairing of Dion with collaborators Max Martin, Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson. "Replete with a festive mandolin and a midtempo beat to bring new heights to her as-ever splendid vocal," he concluded that "'That's the Way It Is' is one of the most compelling radio releases yet from "one of the core voices of the decade".{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8A4EAAAAMBAJ&q=dion|title=Reviews & Previews > Artists & Music> Singles > Pop > That's the Way It Is|date=30 October 1999|access-date=14 May 2012|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc}} Chuck Taylor also reviewed "I Want You to Need Me" and wrote that "linking Dion and Diane Warren has always been about as fine a fit as a trusty pair of Thom McAn's. Between Warren's heart-drenched words and dramatic melody writing and Dion's potent vocals straight from soulside, divadom has never sounded so mighty".{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eAgEAAAAMBAJ&q=dion|title=Reviews & Previews > Artists & Music> Singles > Pop > I Want You to Need Me|date=22 April 2000|access-date=14 May 2012|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc}}
