The publication announced its picks on Twitter, while also issuing a seemingly defensive statement.

Celine Dion fans quickly noticed that the Canadian powerhouse wasn't on the list and made their feelings known.

Dear @RollingStone.

This is Céline Dion.

Leaving her off your Top 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list has to be an honest and regrettable mistake… because doing it intentionally would be criminal.

So… please fix it, Bonnie Bernstein, founder and CEO of Walk Swiftly Productions, via Twitter.

Rolling Stone omitting the Céline Dion from its list of the greatest singers of all time is a crime against humanity, Ashton Pittman, 'Mississippi Free Press' news editor, via Twitter.

Respectfully, not including Celine Dion, arguably the best vocal technician of all time, in this list is borderline treasonous, Jamie Lambert, recording artist, via Twitter.

'New York Post' reports that Dion has sold over 250 million albums worldwide, making her one of the highest-selling solo artists ever.

The top 5 singers picked by 'Rolling Stone' (in descending order) were: .

Mariah Carey, Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin.

Stomach Sleeping May Be Wreaking Havoc on Your Health [Video]

Stomach Sleeping May Be Wreaking Havoc on Your Health

Stomach Sleeping , May Be Wreaking , Havoc on Your Health. 'New York Post' reports that sleeping on your stomach may come with a number of potential health issues. Experts say the biggest complaint from people who sleep on their front is having lower back pain. If you already have neck and back problems, sleeping in this position is almost guaranteed to make them worse, Dr. Tony Nalda, Scoliosis Reduction Center, via New York Post. According to Dr. Tony Nalda from the Scoliosis Reduction Center, stomach sleeping can also make breathing difficult as it compresses the diaphragm. The sleeping position also puts stress on the heart, which can make it more difficult for blood to circulate. Over time, this increases the risk of cardio issues, especially if you already have problems. If you struggle to breathe deeply, it can lead to higher blood pressure, Dr. Tony Nalda, Scoliosis Reduction Center, via New York Post. Over time, this increases the risk of cardio issues, especially if you already have problems. If you struggle to breathe deeply, it can lead to higher blood pressure, Dr. Tony Nalda, Scoliosis Reduction Center, via New York Post. Sleeping with a twisted neck, like in the front sleeping position, can also result in migraines, pinched nerves and even neurological issues. According to the Sleep Foundation, stomach sleeping can also lead to more wrinkles because of how the position smushes your face against the pillow. The experts say that changing sleeping positions can be an easy fix that could improve both your quality of sleep and your health. Sleeping on your back or your side offers significantly more health benefits and less discomfort than sleeping on your stomach, Sleep Foundation, via New York Post. Experts say that side sleeping can help people who suffer from sleep apnea, as the position helps keep the airway open. Meanwhile, sleeping on your back can help people with lower back pain, as it helps with spine alignment
