Between 1993 and 2002, there was no female vocalist whose career was hotter than Shania Twain.
Over nine years, Twain released four albums which, in total, have sold over 48 million copies. She is tied with the Eagles for fourth place for the most diamond (10 million-plus sales) certified albums in RIAA history behind Garth Brooks, the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
Come On Over (1997) – Diamond – 20+ million sales
The Woman in Me (1995) – Diamond – 12+ million sales
Up! (2002) – Diamond – 11+ million sales
Greatest Hits (2004) – Four-Times Platinum – 4+ million sales
Shania Twain (1993) – Platinum – 1+ million sales
Then, as fast as she hit the scene, she was gone. While she occasionally surfaced over the next decade with a single or a reality show, much of her time was occupied with her divorce from Robert “Mutt” Lange and problems with her singing voice.
In 2012, she returned to performing with a two year residency at Caesar’s Palace and, in 2015, embarked on a tour.
Her comeback will be complete on September 29 when Shania will release her fifth album, Now, via Mercury Nashville. The cover, above, is out and the first single, Life’s About to Get Good, is out, but there is no finalized track list yet available.
