Shania Twain Celebrates 25th Anniversary Of ‘The Woman In Me’ With New Diamond Edition
Shania Twain is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her Grammy-winning, breakthrough album, The Woman in Me with the special The Woman in Me: Diamond Edition, due out Oct. 2 via Mercury Nashville/UMG Recordings, Inc. Twain announced the news this morning (Aug. 14) on Good Morning America during their “Summer Concert Series.”
The newly-remastered version of the genre-busting, multi-Platinum album includes previously-unreleased tracks, live recordings, and mixes that trace the evolution of a project that changed the way country music sounded. 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.
The Woman in Me: Diamond Edition is accompanied by a 48-page booklet containing liner notes from Twain, an essay by pop-culture journalist Eve Barlow, and photos from John Derek, Albert Sanchez, Mark Tucker, Bo Derek, and Alexander E. Harbaugh. The album will be available in two and three-CD configurations, with the remastered album available in LP and Limited-Edition color variant LP versions, as well.
In 1996, The Woman in Me 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.<
