Shania Twain: Albums
built 118 days ago
It's clear by now: Shania Twain is no one-hit wonder or the Madonna of country. The Canadian singer, along with fellow femme Faith Hill, has taken her place as the dominant commercial force in country music, repeating her success album after album.

In 2004, Shania Twain did what every successful artist ventures to do and released a greatest hits compilation. Greatest Hits features three new singles, including the hit duet "Party For Two," of which she recorded the country version with Billy Currington and the pop version with Mark McGrath. The album sold over 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and over 7.5 million copies worldwide.

In the mid-1990s, Shania Twain put the whammy on the country music industry with a string of chart-busting hits -- which sounded more like stadium rock than Country Pop -- and a brazenly sexy image. Much to the chagrin of more traditional-minded critics, Twain broke sales records and paved the way for such stars as Jo Dee Messina and the Dixie Chicks. She remains a major figure on the scene, with a second CMA award-winning album and a reworking of her red hot image, which de-emphasizes sex appeal and focuses on female empowerment in a male-dominated industry. Retaining the loud guitars and anthemic quality of The Woman in Me (1997), Shania's more recent work still appeals to the crossover market she tore open, but she sometimes still makes concessions to the naysayers of yesterday with a stronger twang in her voice and more overtly countrified melodies.

The Shania Twain story has opened on a new and exciting chapter, and the only way is UP! That's the title of the much anticipated follow-up to Come On Over, the most successful female solo artist album of all time with worldwide sales of an astonishing 34 million.

This is a Shania Twain T-Shirt that was purchased from the QVC home shopping network in November 2004 as Shania was promoting her "Greatest Hits" album with QVC host Joe Johns. The shirt has a picture of Shania sitting in a black top with a light blue skirt looking lovely for the camera, which is the same shot from her album cover. There is a "Shania Twain" logo across the shirt as shown above. This is for one shirt in size Large.

Shania Twain's third album, Come on Over, holds the title of best-selling album of all time by a female artist. The crossover success of country and pop has proven to be one of music's biggest draws, and Twain helped make it so. 2004 saw the release of her first greatest hits album, and she's embarked on a world tour so don't miss the country diva in person.
