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. .com ---- 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 Recommended Contemporary Crossover LeAnn Rimes, This Woman ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00067BD8K/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_leann1 ) Faith Hill, Faith ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000062V7/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_faith1 ) Dixie Chicks, Top of the World Tour ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000DYJM4/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_dixie ) LeAnn Rimes, Blue ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000000DEX/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_leann2 ) Faith Hill, Breathe ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002SSRE/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_faith2 ) Martina McBride, Martina ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000CABGH/ref=ed_mus_shania_6x_martina )
