Encore un soir

"Encore un soir" (meaning "one more night") is a song recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released as the lead single from her French-language album of the same name, issued on 26 August 2016.

"Encore un soir" garnered positive reviews from music critics and was commercially successful topping the charts in France, Quebec and the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Romandy.

It also reached the top ten in Luxembourg and Belgium and was certified diamond in France and gold in Switzerland.

On 22 October 2015, Dion's official website announced that the singer was "working hard" on her new French album.

Nicolas Houle from La Presse wrote that "Encore un soir", written by Jean-Jacques Goldman, comes with remarkable restraint and subtlety and is without a doubt the strongest track on the album.

[7] Alain de Repentigny, from La Presse+ stated that the title track, an ode to life, makes an impact on the album and during the live performances as well.

[8] "Encore un soir" was also praised by Le Figaro, Femme Actuelle, Ciné Télé Revue, Public.fr, HollywoodLife.com and Idolator, as a touching tribute to Dion's late husband, René Angélil.

[17] The last time Dion spent at least two weeks at number one was fifteen years ago with "Sous le vent".

[33] In the seventeenth week, "Encore un soir" fell to number two selling 2,786 units and bringing the total sales to 54,472 copies.

[40][41] Among Dion singles, only "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" spent more time inside top ten in France - thirty-one weeks.

[40] On 21 October 2016, the single was certified platinum in France for twenty million cumulative sales (downloads and streaming).

[51] In Canada, also after just three days of sales, "Encore un soir" entered the Hot Digital Songs chart at number fifteen.
