The American magazine had created a controversy, earlier this year, by failing to include the interpreter of My Heart Will Go On In his ranking of the greatest singerspushing some fans of the Quebecer to show their dissatisfaction as far as New York.
The publication also seems to be trying to avoid these outbursts of upset fans in the preamble to this new list, published on the occasion of Canada Day.
“Are all the important Canadian musicians in there? No. But the 50 that we like the most are there”, specifies the American magazine.
The Rolling Stone also takes advantage of his introduction to offer his “sincere and respectful condolences” to fans of various artists excluded from the charts, citing in passing the Quebec formations Voivod and Bran Van 3000.
Behind Alanis Morissette
Celine Dion thus sits in 10th position, just behind Shania Twain, The Weeknd and Alanis Morissette, placed 7th to 9th respectively.
“Few artists are as beloved by Canadians as Celine Dion, and for good reason: her story (the youngest of a working-class family in a small Quebec village who became an international superstar) is every pop star’s dream, and the the respect and admiration that the whole world has for him is the pride of Canadians.
“His enormous career is undeniable, including number 1 songs, countless awards and a titanic moment. Her voice is unmistakable, a roaring tour de force, and she has the stage presence to go along with it. Still, Celine Dion will say her greatest accomplishment was making her family – and her country – proud. And for that, our love for Celine Dion will be eternal”, continues the American magazine.
It should be noted that Celine Dion is the only singer with a French-speaking repertoire to appear on this list.
Some Quebecers
A handful of Quebecers also find themselves in the ranking of Rolling Stone; rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor inherits the 31st position, while the tandem formed by the sisters Kate and Anne McGarrigle are in 16th place. Arcade Fire and the late Leonard Cohen rank 12th and 4th, respectively.
As for the first position, it is awarded to the Canadian icon Joni Mitchell.
