Shania Twain discography
Wikimedia artist discography
Canadian singer and songwriter Shania Twain has released seven studio albums, three compilation albums, three remix albums, one box set, two live albums, 45 singles, 40 music videos, six promotional singles, and made six guest appearances. Twain's repertoire has sold over 34 million albums in the United States alone, placing her as the top-selling female artist in country music. Moreover, with 48 million copies shipped, she is ranked as the 26th best-selling artist overall in the US, tying with Kenny G for the spot. She is also recognized as one of the best-selling music artists in history, selling over 100 million records worldwide and thus becoming the top-selling female artist in country music ever.
In 1992, Twain signed to Mercury Records Nashville in the United States and released her debut studio album, Shania Twain, the following year. The project underperformed, peaking at number 67 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, and produced three singles, which also underperformed. After Twain's subsequent success, both the album and its singles gained the attention of her fan base, with the album receiving in 1999 a Platinum certification by the RIAA denoting sales of one million copies, as well as "What Made You Say That" and "Dance with the One That Brought You" both accumulating over 20 million streams each across platforms. Despite its initial failure, the album managed to attract the interest of renowned record producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, responsible for blockbuster rock and roll albums by AC/DC and Def Leppard. He and Twain eventually got married, and collaborated on her second release, The Woman in Me, which was released in 1995. The Woman in Me led Twain to great commercial success.
