All the Way... A Decade of Song is the first English-language greatest hits album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Columbia Records and Epic Records on 12 November 1999. Conceived as a celebration of Dion's extraordinary commercial success during the 1990s, the album combines nine of her most successful recordings with seven newly recorded tracks. Dion collaborated primarily with longtime producer David Foster on the new material, while additional contributions came from leading pop producers such as Max Martin, Kristian Lundin, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, James Horner, and Matt Serletic. The album became the best-selling greatest hits collection by a female solo artist in the United States during the Nielsen SoundScan era. It has sold over 22 million copies worldwide, including more than nine million in the United States, five million in Europe, two million in Japan, and one million in Canada.
Although All the Way... A Decade of Song received mixed critical reviews—many critics praised the strength of the included hits while questioning the decision to pair them with seven new recordings—the lead single, "That's the Way It Is", was widely acclaimed for its uplifting production and contemporary pop sound. The album was a major commercial success globally, debuting at number one in most major music markets. It ranked seventh on the US Billboard 200 Year-End chart for 2000 and 26th on the Billboard 200 Decade-End chart, cementing its status as one of Dion's most successful releases.
