The Official Shania Twain Thread

[realize_!]

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I had to make a thread for my favourite country/pop singer. After watching a documentary about her last night, it rekindled my love for her

Shania Twain, is a Canadian singer and songwriter in the country and pop music genres.

Shania released her self-titled debut album in 1993 and she felt it wasnt good at all as she was forced by her record company to work with Nashville songwriters, and she only got to co-write one of the songs, and felt that the album was not really her own.

rock producer Robert "Mutt" Lange heard Shania's original songs and singing he thought she was promising as an artist. He offered to produce her and to write songs with her. they met in person at Nashville's Fan Fair.
They started working on a second album,The Woman in Me and it was a hit The album eventually topped the country charts for months and became a massive crossover to mainstream charts, peaking at No. 5 and to date has sold over 12 million copies.

In 1997, She released her follow-up album, Come on Over. This was the album that established Twain as a successful crossover artist. Selling 172,000 copies out of the gate, the album was seen by many at first as a disappointment, given the massive success of her last effort. But slowly, the album started racking up sales. Over the next two years, the album stayed on the charts, spinning off hit after hit. Come on Over had sold 20 million copies in the United States and 39 million worldwide, making it the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist and the biggest-selling country album of all time

Twain's mainstream pop acceptance was further helped by her appearance in the 1998. After the success of Come on Over, Shania revealed she was suffering from exhaustion, and had decided to take a two year break. During this break, she had her first child, Eja in 2001, Shania went back into the studio, and Up! was released in November 2002, making it five years since the world had new material from her, Up! was given 4 out of 5 stars by Rolling Stone magazine, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart, selling 874,000 in the first week alone.

In 2004, she released the Greatest Hits album, with three new tracks. To date, it has sold over 3.5 million copies in the U.S, and over 7.5 Million worldwide.

so any fans of her? I absolutely adore her and I'm glad I watched that documentary ^^ It brought back good memories I had with her music.

Personal favourites: When you kiss me, Party for two, Up!, From This Moment, Man! I feel like a woman!, Forever and For Always
