Shania Twain Come On Over (http://www.amazon.com/Come-Over-Shania-Twain/dp/B000001EW3/ref=pd_sim_m_1/102-8095895-8121751) Still SoundScan's Biggest Selling Album

by Paul Cashmere - January 5, 2007

Shania Twain has maintained her status for having the number one selling album of the SoundScan era (1991-2006) for 'Come On Over'.

It wasn't a huge sales year for the album. It sold just 53,000 units according to Nielsen SoundScan. However, Metallica is closing the gap, with the black album registering sales of around 340,000 units in 2006.

The only change in the Top 10 is the departure of Britney Spears and the addition of The Beatles. Britney dropped from No. 10 last year for 'Baby One More Time' and The Beatles '1' came in at No.9 pushing Celine Dion's 'Falling Into You' into 10th spot.

Here are the Top 10 albums of the SoundScan era:

1. Come on Over (http://www.amazon.com/Come-Over-Shania-Twain/dp/B000001EW3/ref=pd_sim_m_1/102-8095895-8121751) / Shania Twain 15,408,533
2. Metallica / Metallica 14,819,905
3. Jagged Little Pill / Alanis Morissette 14,513,313
4. Millennium / Backstreet Boys 12,091,491
5. Bodyguard / Soundtrack 11,789,552
6. Supernatural / Santana 11,588,453
7. Human Clay / Creed 11,483,557
8. No Strings Attached / N Sync 11,099,051
9. Beatles 1 / Beatles 10,821,222
10.Falling Into You / Celine Dion 10,752,658

Shania's "Greatest Hits" (http://www.amazon.com/Shania-Twain-Greatest-Hits/dp/B0002Z1EG2/ref=pd_sim_m_5/102-8095895-8121751) cd, as well as being out of the spotlight and off of the radio/charts, has hurt the sales of "Come On Over" (http://www.amazon.com/Come-Over-Shania-Twain/dp/B000001EW3/ref=pd_sim_m_1/102-8095895-8121751).

Metallica was one of many rock acts receiving a lot of exposure recently from VH1. (VH1 had something like a "VH1 Rocks!" marathon with rock specials and videos.)

If the same pattern of sales continues for Shania's "COO" cd and Metallica's cd, "Come On Over" will be out of the # 1 spot in as little as 2 -to- 3 years from now. :(

Hopefully, Shania will back soon with a new cd (and tour) and give "COO" a boost. :D

:great: - thanks for posting :D:D

[Troll]

Thanks for the info.

[Alex]

It's god to hear Shania is still on first position. But while Shania is away the stage, she would get behind, I can say many people, no fans, are forgetting about her, when she reached a cool fame with all the people around the world. Now I ask to the people if they know Shania Twain, and they always say: who is?.. I hope she does something NEW now this YEAR. I woudln't like she leaves the ranking due to that reason...:(

[EilleenTwain88]

Oh people. There is nothing to satisfy you... :D

Look at those others on that list and be PROUD she is the number one after all these years. I thought myself to be a pessimist but I'm nothing compared to you guys. Heh.

The only soundtrack to make it on the list for 2006 was "Bodyguard," which included a remake of Dolly Parton's hit song "I Will Always Love You," sung by Whitney Houston on the album.

This is great news even though we know nothing is forever and COO probably will get caught soon, still it should make a true Shania fan proud.

[mcjessica]

It is, I love them both. :boogie:
TWIM had a great country feel and COO had so many amazing singles.

[StarryShania]

It's not hard to believe that CCO is still that high up, since it was an amazing album ! :)

[Alex]

COO favorite betwen them, I love the pop COO version more more :boogie:

[mcjessica]

I think all the Shania fans around the world should just go out and buy another copy of COO. Imagine how high the record sales would be then. :]
