Shania Twain discography Canadian singer Shania Twain has released five studio albums, two compilation albums, three remix albums, one box set, two live albums, 38 singles, two promotional singles, and six guest appearances and will release her 5th studio album on 29th September 2017. In 1992, Twain signed to Mercury Records Nashville in the United States and released her eponymous debut studio album, "Shania Twain", the following year. It was a commercial failure, peaking at number 67 on "Billboard"'s Top Country Albums chart, and produced three singles, which were also commercial failures. However, the album attracted the interest of record producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. He and Twain collaborated on her second release, "The Woman in Me", which was released in 1995. "The Woman in Me" commenced with small sales but eventually led Twain to commercial success. It topped Top Country Albums and peaked at number five on the main-genre "Billboard" 200. The album was certified 12 times platinum (diamond) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and sold over 7.6 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Furthermore, "The Woman in Me" led to success in the singer's native country, Canada, where it was certified double diamond by Music Canada and was once the best-selling album by a female country singer; Twain later surpassed herself. The album spawned eight singles, four of which ("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") topped the US Hot Country Singles & Tracks.
