Shania Twain Celebrates 25th Anniversary Of ‘Come On Over’ With New Editions

/by

Shania Twain is releasing multiple expanded U.S. and international diamond editions of her third studio album, Come On Over, on Aug. 25 via Mercury/UMe.

Come On Over confirmed Twain’s status as an international crossover superstar, having been certified as being both the top-selling country album and the highest-selling album by a female artist of all time. In celebration of the benchmark project’s 25th anniversary and its over 40 million in global album sales, both the U.S. and International versions of Come On Over were remastered for the first time ever.

Among the many hits from Come On Over are the No. 1s “You’re Still The One,” “Love Gets Me Every Time” and “Honey, I’m Home” as well as top 10 hits “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “From This Moment On,” “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)” and “Come On Over.” The album has also been double Diamond-certified by the RIAA, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 in Twain’s homeland of Canada as well as in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland and Scotland.

“With Come On Over, it was important for me to give what I thought was the best record of my life, and that is why there’s so many songs on it,” shares Twain. “I thought, ‘Let’s just load this up in case there’s not another chance. Let’s not hold anything back.’ There was no point in saving songs for another album or even giving songs to other artists, because I thought this might be my only chance to really make an impact as a follow-up to the prior album, which was already certified Diamond. I would say that Come On Over was so high-pressure for me, because I knew I had more in me than one Diamond album.

“My audience was broader than the average country genre audience – they were coming from all over the world! We had the luxury of producing multiple versions of the songs to fit each audience and I’m so happy to see all the versions packaged together for this reissue. This was an album that was really meant to bridge genres, and I wanted to make sure that the fans were getting what they expected from me as a multi-genre artist. This album is me trying to deliver that and bring as many different people together as possible – so imagine how incredible it feels to still have a sense of bringing people together 25 years later? I’m at a great place in my life.”

The album will be released in 3CD Super Deluxe, 3LP Super Deluxe, 3LP International Super Deluxe, 2LP Deluxe, 2CD Deluxe, and Digital. 2LP Deluxe Retail Exclusives will also be available in the U.S.

The 3CD Super Deluxe and 3LP Super Deluxe U.S. and 3LP Super Deluxe International editions for Come On Over all include a bonus disc with nine additional tracks, featuring live duets with Chris Martin, Elton John, Alison Krauss and the Backstreet Boys, plus other live tracks and remixes. The 3CD Super Deluxe edition is packaged in a commemorative hardback book format with notes from Twain, while both 3LP versions are available on 180-gram ultra-clear vinyl.

Currently, Twain is on her global “Queen of Me Tour,” which runs through November.
