THIS DAY IN CANADIAN MUSIC HISTORY November 4, 1997 — Canadian country superstar Shania Twain released Come On Over, an album that would become one of the biggest-selling records in music history. Born in Windsor and raised in Timmins, Ontario, Twain had already achieved enormous success with her 1995 album The Woman in Me. But Come On Over would take her career to an entirely different level. Recorded with producer and then-husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the 16-track album blended country music with pop and rock, introducing Twain to audiences far beyond Nashville. The album produced an extraordinary 12 singles, including “You’re Still the One,” “From This Moment On,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “Honey, I’m Home.” It spent 50 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and eventually sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Come On Over became the best-selling country album of all time and one of the best-selling albums by a female solo artist. Its success helped transform Twain into an international superstar, earning her four Grammy Awards from the album’s recordings. Nearly three decades later, its songs remain staples of country radio, wedding receptions, karaoke nights and Canadian music nostalgia. An extraordinary achievement for a singer who grew up in Northern Ontario. Which song from Come On Over is your favourite? #ShaniaTwain #ComeOnOver #CanadianMusic
