Romanza is the first greatest hits album by Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. Released in 1997, it is the tenor's fourth album (see 1997 in music). First in Europe, then charts around the world, the album amassed a multitude of platinum and multi-platinum awards, outselling even his 1995 album, Bocelli).[1] It also received quadruple platinum status in the United States of America with 4.2 million copies sold[2], being Bocelli's first album released in the US, and Diamond status in Canada, with sales exceeding 800,000 copies.[3], making Romanza the best-selling album by a foreign artist of the SoundScan Era, and the forth best-selling overall, in Canada[4][5]. To date, it is Bocelli's most commercially successful album. With more then 350,000 units sold in Switzerland, it's the second top-selling album of the county's history.
