Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by Canadian country-pop singer Shania Twain, released on November 8, 2004 by Mercury Nashville. The album contains seventeen of Twain’s hits, including all of her seven number one hits on the Hot Country Songs chart. Notably absent from the track list is Twain’s self-titled debut album, in which no songs were included. Some songs are included in their pop versions such as “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!”. “Ka-Ching!” was included in the European version of Greatest Hits as the song was a massive hit there.

There is no overestimating the historical power and influence of Shania Twain’s Come on Over. You can hear it in the music of Taylor Swift (all the way up through 1989, easily), as well as Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, Carly Pearce, Kelly Clarkson, Maren Morris, latter day The Chicks, even Harry Styles. Its success—40 million copies sold and counting—freed up boundaries (for better or worse) for countless country acts, from Rascal Flatts to Dan + Shay, to be unashamed of going pop. The album’s production, by Twain’s now-ex husband Mutt Lange (who was previously best known for his work with AC/DC and Def Leppard), is an epoch in the country music timeline—much the way Chet Atkins’ Nashville Sound was. While some of those production flourishes sound a bit dated on the three-disc remaster (including domestic and international versions plus a grab bag of collaborations and remixes) of Come on Over, these are still killer songs that would tear it up on country and/or pop radio today. “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” packs an even bigger dose of serotonin. Every aspect—guitar, fiddle, vocals—of “Love Gets Me Every Time” sounds so crisp and clear on both the US version and its international compatriot, famously stripped of the hollering fiddle at the front of the mix. Freshened-up “You’re Still the One” glistens, the pedal steel sharp as ever against the gooey cloud of backing vocals. But want something different? There’s also a fun 1999 live duet with Elton John turning his twang up to 11, as well as several thumping dancefloor remixes and a largely superfluous version from Twain’s 2022 Las Vegas residency, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin on piano. There’s both the spirited and clicky original of “I’m Holdin’ On to Love (To Save My Life)” and a more down-home take with Alison Krauss. The bluegrass queen makes a second appearance on a duet of “From This Moment On,” from the Up! Close and Personal live album, offering a warmer, rounder take on the pristine original with Bryan White. A 1999 Miami concert collab on the song with Backstreet Boys puts everyone’s vocal acrobatics on display. “Honey, I’m Home,” always one of the most countrified tracks on the album, is slick as a whistle, and cowbell positively vibrates on “That Don’t Impress Me Much” (and the line “OK, so you’re Brad Pitt/ That don’t impress me much” still holds up). And while remastering highlights how cheesy Lange’s Eurovision-style production is on “Come On Over,” Twain just sounds terrific. Viva Shania. – Shelly Ridenour

When Up! was released in November 2002, Shania Twain revealed in one of many promotional interviews that she writes far more songs than can fit on her records and that she hides any personal, introspective songs she pens, not even playing them for her husband and collaborator Robert John “Mutt” Lange. Now, this is certainly a psychological quirk worth exploring, but it also suggests why Twain’s albums are such brilliant pieces of mainstream pop. Anything that doesn’t fit the mold is discarded, so the album can hum along on its big, polished, multipurpose hooks and big, sweeping emotions. This is Super-Size pop, as outsized and grandiose as good pop should be. And, unlike the work of most pop divas, where the subject matter is firmly about the singer, none of the songs on Up! are remotely about Shania Twain, the person — let’s face it, she’s never faced a situation like “Waiter! Bring Me Water!,” where she’s afraid her guy is going to be stolen away by their hot waitress. No, these songs have been crafted as universal anthems, so listeners can hear themselves within these tales. Just as cleverly, the songs are open-ended and mutable — always melodic, but never stuck in any particular style, so they can be subjected to any kind of mix and sound just as good. (Indeed, Up! was initially released in no less than three different mixes — the “Red” pop mix, the “Green” country mix, and the “Blue” international mix; sometimes the differences in mixes were so slight, it sounded like nothing was changed, but each mix revealed how sturdy and melodic the structure of each of the 19 songs was, and how they were designed to sound good in any setting.) True, the sheer length of the album could be seen as off-putting at first, since these 19 tracks don’t necessarily flow as a whole. Then again, part of the genius of Up! is that it’s designed as a collection of tracks, so the album is durable enough to withstand years on the charts, producing singles with different textures and moods every few months. Time revealed Come on Over as a stellar pop album, and the same principle works for Up!. Upon the first listen, singles seem indistinct, and it seems like too much to consume at once, but once you know the lay of the land, the hooks become indelible and the gargantuan glossiness of the production is irresistible. In other words, it’s a more than worthy follow-up to the great mainstream pop album of the late ’90s, and proof that when it comes to shiny, multipurpose pop, nobody does it better than Shania Twain.

“The Woman in Me” is the second studio album by Canadian country singer Shania Twain and her first with the majority of the songs co-written by her.

It was ranked #8 on CMT’s list of 40 Greatest Albums in Country Music in 2006. The album won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. “Any Man Of Mine” was nominated for Grammys for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.

Shania Twain’s eponymous debut album is a bland set of contemporary country that demonstrates her considerable vocal abilities but none of the spark that informs her breakthrough, The Woman in Me. Part of the problem is that none of the songs are well constructed and each leans toward soft rock instead of country or country-rock. By and large, the songs lack strong melodies, so they have to rely on Twain’s vocal skills, and although she is impressive, she is too showy to make any of these mediocre songs stick. It’s a promising debut, largely because it showcases her fine vocal skills, but it isn’t engaging enough to be truly interesting outside of a historical context.

Just like the albums her husband/producer Mutt Lange produced for Def Leppard, Shania Twain’s albums are designed to generate hit singles for two or three years, which means that each of her blockbuster records — 1995’s The Woman in Me, 1997’s Come On Over, 2002’s Up! — already seem like greatest-hits records, since they’re filled with huge hits. This makes assembling an actual greatest-hits album a little difficult, since not only is the material overly familiar, but there are so many hits that they’re difficult to fit on a single-disc collection. Impressively, 2004’s Greatest Hits — the first compilation Shania has released in her career — doesn’t skimp in either the hits or its actual length. Weighing in at a whopping 21 tracks, it has every big hit from her career, bypassing just a handful of tracks (including anything from her eponymous 1993 debut, plus “God Bless the Child” from 1996 and “It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing” from 2004), none of which are greatly missed. The collection runs in reverse chronological order, beginning with the ballad “Forever and Always” from Up! then running through hits like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” “That Don’ Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One,” “Any Man of Mine” — all in their most familiar radio mixes, which means pop mixes alternate with country mixes according to the song — before ending with four new tracks (the gleefully goofy “Party for Two” is featured in two versions, a pop version with Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath and a country version with Billy Currington). Taken as a whole, this is a pretty impressive and consistent body of work — sure, her hits can be slick, glossy, and silly, but they’re infectious, irresistibly catchy, impeccably crafted, and most importantly, still tremendous fun after hundreds of plays. This isn’t straight country, but it never pretends that it is. Instead, Twain and Lange poached the catchiest elements from arena rock and adult contemporary pop, peppered it with ’90s pop culture references — anything from bad hair days to Brad Pitt — and developed a glorious, supersized sound that defined mainstream pop and country for nearly a decade. And, as this wonderful collection proves, Shania’s hits not only defined their time, but transcend them, as this Greatest Hits is as fun as pop music can get.

The International version was remixed for a more pop and world feel. The only song that stayed the same on both versions was “Rock This Country!”. The album was later re-released after the success of “That Don’t Impress Me Much”. This ‘revised version’ included The Right Mix of “From This Moment On”, the Notting Hill Remix for “You’ve Got a Way” and the (UK) Dance Remix for “That Don’t Impress Me Much”. In most countries this mix is titled the “Dance Mix Edit” but for the UK, Netherlands and Germany it was titled the “UK Dance Mix”.
