Content, commercial performance and awards

The album became Dion's first commercial success. It was certified Platinum in Canada[2] and has sold 150,000 copies there.[3]

Thanks to Tellement j'ai d'amour..., Dion won her first four Félix Awards, including Best Pop Album of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Artist of the Year Achieving the Most Success Outside Quebec. With the first single "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" (number three in Quebec), Dion won a Gold Medal for the Best Song at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, Japan. She also won Yamaha Pops Orchestra's Maestro Award for Best Artist. The second single "D'amour ou d'amitié" became a hit, reaching number one in Quebec and receiving Gold certification for the sales of 50,000 copies in Canada.

Tellement j'ai d'amour... also includes "Le piano fantôme" written by Luc Plamondon (Dion's later collaborator) and "La voix du bon Dieu" - the title track from her debut album, re-recorded this time with the entire Dion family on background vocals.

Thanks to "D'amour ou d'amitié" success in France, where it also received Gold certification and has sold over 700,000 copies (Dion was the first Canadian artist to accomplish that),[4] Dion could finally release her first album in this country. It was named Du soleil au cœur and contained three songs from Tellement j'ai d'amour... ("D'amour ou d'amitié", "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" and "Le vieux monsieur de la rue Royale").

In 2005, Dion included "D'amour ou d'amitié" and "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" on her greatest hits compilation On ne change pas.
