Come on Over is the third album by Shania Twain, released in 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album is the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist, and the fifth biggest selling album in music history, along with Garth Brooks's Double Live. It spawned no less than twelve singles. Following her massive success album The Woman In Me in 1996 which certified 12 times platium, Come On Over was considered to be a disappointment by many when it first released. Debuting at #2 on the billboard 200 with a moderate 172,000 copies (3,000 units behind Mase Harlem World), the album would show it consistency when it moves another 170,000 copies in its second week (a mere 1.2% decrease) to stay at #2 again behind Barbara Streisand Higher Ground. The album would never go higher than #3 on the billboard chart again but would stay on the top 20 for a record 99 weeks consistently sales more than 100,000 for an incredible 62 times. Amazingly, the album single week sales peak was on its 110th week selling a whooping 355,000 to settle at #10 (Christmas 1999). The Album would stay on the top 100 for 151 weeks before drop the catalog. For certified sales see Shania Twain albums.

[edit] Additional information
- "You're Still The One", "From This Moment On", "That Don't Impress Me Much", and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" all were remixed to sound less country and to appeal more to pop audiences in hopes of a mainstream crossover for Twain.
- The remixes were so successful that an "International Version" of Come On Over was released in 1999; it contained pop remixes of 15 tracks, except for "Rock This Country!".
- In the United States, male disk jockeys were able to obtain a customized copy of the song "That Don't Impress Me Much". The customized copy would replace the line "..okay, so you're Brad Pitt, that don't impress me much" with "..okay, so you're XXXX that don't impress me much" where XXXX is the disk jockey's name sung by Shania Twain. Often, radio stations played the customized and single versions in rotation. [citation needed]
- The album itself has sold 36 million copies worldwide, the largest ever by a female solo artist, but despite this it wasn't able to top the Billboard 200, reaching a peak of #2. It did however top the charts for 11 weeks in the UK.
- The album set a record for longest stay in the Top 20 of The Billboard 200, remaining in the Top 20 for 99 weeks (about 1 year and 10 months).[citation needed]
- During the Thanksgiving week of 1999, Come On Over International Version was released in conjunction to Shania's Thanksgiving CBS special, Come On Over that week earned the Billboard chart Greatest Gainer title jumping 24-11 on the billboard chart, a whooping 246% increase in sales from a 57,000 last week to a 197,000 the week after.
- Come On Over lives through 3 consecutive releases of Mariah Carey's Butterfly(1997), #1's(1998) Rainbow(1999), and Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love(1997), These Are Special Times(1998), All The Way...A Decade of Songs(1999). Come On Over eventually dropped off the billboard chart after all of those 6 titles.
- Come On Over topped the Billboard Country Album chart for a record 50 weeks. Finishing 2nd to Garth Brooks Sevens in 1998, finishing 1st in 1999, and 3rd in 2000 behind Dixie Chicks Fly and Faith Hill Breathe with the same title.
