Commercial performance

Although it did not manage to reach the success of its counterpart soundtrack, Back to Titanic was a commercial success.

It debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and then the following week reached its peak position at No. 2 with 164,000 copies sold. Back to Titanic has been certified Platinum in the United States for sales of over 1 million copies.[1] It was also certified gold in Japan for 100,000 copies shipped to stores in September 1998.[2]

In 2012, the album was re-issued with its predecessor as part of the Collector's Anniversary Edition for the 3D re-release of the film.
