Andrea Bocelli chronology

Bocelli is the second studio album by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, released in 1995 on the Polydor GmbH label.

This album is the follow-up to his debut album, Il mare calmo della sera. In Germany, the album was certified 4× Platinum for shipping two million units, making it one of the best-selling albums ever in the country.^[1] It was also certified 4× Platinum in Switzerland,^[2] 2× Platinum in the Netherlands,^[3] and Platinum in Austria.^[4]

The album is thought to have brought attention of Bocelli's existence to the masses outside of classical music circles, not just for the immense success of hit song "Con te partirò" but also because he covered the popular 1980s pop hit "The Power of Love" by Jennifer Rush.^[5]
