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: .
