Shania Twain's hit album 'The Woman in Me' marks 30th Anniversary with remastered editions

Last Friday, marked the 
30th anniversary of Shania Twain's Grammy-winning breakthrough album The Woman in Me. A new version of the expanded 3CD Diamond Edition, shipping Feb. 14, features the original album remastered plus 16 previously unreleased tracks, including five live performances recorded in December 2019 during Twain’s residency at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, and an entire “Shania Vocal Mix” containing early takes of 11 songs from nearly a year before the album’s release.

In addition to the five Las Vegas performances, the “Live & Remixed” disc, features two tracks recorded in September 1998 at Dallas’ Reunion Arena for the Shania: Live DVD, plus original single mixes, b-sides, and bonus tracks. Contained in a 40-page hardback commemorative book with previously unseen photos, new liner notes, and personal recollections from Shania Twain, who personally curated the release.

The Woman in Me, Twain's second album, debuted at No. 65 on the Billboard country chart in February 1995, entering the Billboard 200 three weeks later at 197. The album continued to climb steadily, finally hitting No. 1 on the country chart in July, the same week "Any Man of Mine" became Twain's first chart-topping country single. By that point, the album was already gold; by the end of 1995, it had sold 4 million copies, making it the year's top-selling country album. In 1996, it passed Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits to become the best-selling album by a female country artist (a title Twain's 1997 follow-up, Come on Over, would claim in 1999). The Woman in Me reached Diamond status for shipments of 10 million copies in 1997, then 12 million in 2000. It has sold an estimated 20 million copies worldwide.

Eight of the 12 songs from The Woman in Me appeared on Billboard's country singles chart, with four - "Any Man of Mine," "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" "You Win My Love" and "No One Needs to Know" - reaching No. 1. "Any Man of Mine" also gave Twain her first Top 40 crossover hit. The Woman in Me spent 29 weeks atop the country albums chart and was 1995's best-selling country album. It won a GRAMMY for Best Country Album in 1996 and later was ranked No. 8 on CMT's list of 40 Greatest Country Albums.
