Shania Twain Greatest Hits Music
by Shania Twain

About this Music

In just over 10 years, Shania Twain has risen to superstar status as a multi-Grammy award winner and over 65 million albums sold worldwide. Shania's first ever Greatest Hits album is packed with 21 tracks featuring 3 brand new songs including the first single "Party For Two" (recorded as two different duets: one with Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray and the other with Country newcomer and rising star Billy Currington). Twain's recently wrapped 2003-2004 UP! Tour reached nearly $80 million overall in ticket sales for North America. The 2004 leg alone brought in over $34 million, making this leg of Twain's tour the top grossing country tour of 2004.

Shania Twain--recluse, happily married, mother of one--has sold more than 40 million albums with flirty, hook-laden, beat-heavy, country-tinged pop that has all the subtlety of a musical wet T-shirt contest, yet is as irresistible as Swiss chocolate and Pringles. There are a few heartfelt, moon-in-June love ballads on this generous and long-awaited 20-song collection, which includes three new songs along with all the predictable chart-toppers and near-chart-toppers. But it's the mostly nonstop, uptempo booty-shakers--too often with garish overproduction and vapid lyrics--that, for the unconverted, tend to run together after a while. No doubt, this relentlessly upbeat retrospective will keep Twain's millions of fans jumping up and down on their sofas. --Bob Allen
