How random to add LATGG and GU.

Would be less random if she would have included Swingin’ and Waking Up Dreaming and maybe place them at the beginning of the album to continue the order, new to old.

I really think it’s a good decision, not only releasing it but also with 2 “new” tracks.

And vinyl sales are growing and GH use to be on charts every year.

She now need maybe this duet album and a Christmas album would put her on charts every year.

It’s the international pressing with "Ka-Ching!" and only Marc McGrath duet.

I agree, I mean her Greatest Hits continues to do the best of all her albums these last 10 years. So might as well to expand! lol

Great and very smart choice to add those two new songs to the greatest hits album. Why?

Every week total streams of tracks of an artist that are on multiple albums will and can only be counted towards ONE album, which is the album that those streams would give the highest sales numbers to.

By adding LATGG and GU to Greatest hits it will most probably make a difference in that album getting the sales through streams instead of Not Just A Girl: the Highlights, which is currently the album only charting in the UK country chart (instead of GH).

Shania is a physical sales artist so adding those tracks helps the GH to have sense on vinyl , why releasing it 20 years later without nothing “new”? She has put the most important songs of those albums and now it’s 23 songs pressing.

I‘ve seen there are international and American editions again.

Greatest Hits will be released in four vinyl editions. The 2LP U.S. Version is available on 180-gram black vinyl, while the three exclusive, limited-edition 2LP versions come on 180-gram baby pink vinyl, 180-gram Coke bottle clear vinyl, and 180-gram opaque blue vinyl.

I think there are no pictures yet of pink and coke color editions.

Shania Twain's Multi-Platinum Greatest Hits Makes Long-Awaited Vinyl Debut

The vinyl will be released on November 17.

By Michael Major | Broadway World | November 15, 2023

On November 17, Mercury Nashville/UMe is set to release multiple expanded U.S. and International 2LP vinyl editions of Shania Twain’s widely acclaimed November 2004 compilation album Greatest Hits, marking the first time ever that this record-breaking collection of hits will appear on vinyl.

With countless chart-topping anthems throughout Shania’s discography, Greatest Hits represents so much more than a collection of classics – it’s a genre-defining celebration of the queen of country pop. 

Greatest Hits was certified by Guinness World Records as being the fastest-selling hits collection by a female artist in the U.S., with first-week sales of 529,000 units, sending it well on its way to achieving global sales of over 5M units to date. Both the U.S. and International versions of Greatest Hits have been remastered from the original tapes, and they each now contain two additional tracks: Shania’s latest hit, “Giddy Up!” as well as the fan-favorite “Life’s About To Get Good.”

Greatest Hits will be released in the following four vinyl editions: The 2LP U.S. Version is available on 180-gram black vinyl, while the three Exclusive, Limited-Edition 2LP Versions come on 180-gram baby pink vinyl, 180-gram Coke bottle clear vinyl, and 180-gram opaque blue vinyl.

An international version of Greatest Hits will also be available outside the United States. The difference between the two editions is the international Greatest Hits variant boasts the international mixes of the tracks culled from November 1997’s Come On Over, featuring the more pop-oriented production style that dialed back the country instrumentation and added other musical elements such as drum loops, keyboards, and synthesizer, as opposed to the North American/U.S. mixes that were buttressed by acoustic guitars, fiddles, pedal-steel guitar, and electric-guitar rock riffs. The track listings and cover art for each edition of Greatest Hits remains identical.

All versions of Greatest Hits on vinyl can be pre-ordered Click Here.

Greatest Hits is the perfect showcase for Shania Twain’s ongoing progression as an inspirational, empowering singer/songwriter for multiple generations of fans and fellow artists alike, with the balance of the production duties courtesy Robert John “Mutt” Lange.

Among the many mega hits to be found on Greatest Hits are the U.S. Country chart No. 1 singles “Any Man Of Mine,” “(If You’re Not In It For Love) I’m Outta Here!,” “You Win My Love,” “No One Needs To Know,” “You’re Still The One,” “Love Gets Me Every Time,” and “Honey, I’m Home,” as well as the 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),” “Come On Over,” “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!,” “Forever And For Always,” and “Party For Two.”

Greatest Hits has also been certified 4x platinum by the RIAA, in addition to being 6x platinum in Shania’s native Canada, 3x platinum in the UK, Australia, and Ireland, 2x platinum in New Zealand, 1x platinum in Europe and Switzerland, and gold in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, and Denmark. The album peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Top Country Albums chart, and it also reached No. 1 in Canada and the UK Country Compilation Albums chart. Greatest Hits reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and it hit the Top Ten in the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and Switzerland.

Get your hands on the record-breaking record now!

About Shania Twain

Global Superstar, Celebrated Songwriter, and Style Icon Shania Twain is a five-time GRAMMY winner and one of music and fashion’s most renowned trailblazers. With six albums released and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Twain remains the top-selling female country pop artist of all time.

Her hits include “Any Man of Mine,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One,” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”. Shania was the first artist in history to release 3 consecutive diamond-certified albums. Twain’s first album in 15 years, NOW, was released in September 2017 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums, making it the first female country release in over 3 years to top the all-genre chart.

The release was followed by a year-long sold-out NOW World Tour. In 2021, Shania kicked off her second residency in Las Vegas called “Let’s Go!” which completely sold out and continued through September 2022.

In July 2022, Netflix released “Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl,” a brand-new, career-spanning documentary on Twain’s life and career with an accompanying Highlights album. Most recently, Shania released her sixth full-length album, Queen of Me, on February 3 via Republic Nashville, which received glowing reviews from NPR, Rolling Stone, Consequence, and more out the gate.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, No. 5 on Australia’s ARIA Chart, and No. 10 on the US Billboard 200. She is currently lighting up the stages on her sold-out global Queen of Me tour, which runs through November 2023. Shania will return to Las Vegas in 2024 for her third residency called “Shania Twain – Come On Over – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits!”.

I had to order it from the UK shop in the end (the blue limited edition). It was sold out in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Doing better in that sense than the COO re-release

Music Review: Now on vinyl, Shania Twain’s ‘Greatest Hits’ shines anew

By Elise Ryan | Associated Press | November 16, 2023

Shania Twain is familiar with the concept of a hit.

Her second album “The Woman in Me” sold 20 million copies. Her next, “Come On Over,” sold 40 million. Her 2004 “Greatest Hits” album was one of its own, selling more than half a million copies in its first week — enough to become the fastest-selling hits album by a female artist in the United States, per the Guinness World Records. It has since been certified four times platinum.

Now, as vinyl records and their players see a resurgence, that album has been remastered for vinyl, available Friday.

The collection, like its original, opens with the shimmery pop version of “Forever and For Always,” a proper introduction to the genre and Shania fun enclosed. This version — coming 19 years after its original release — adds a track from each of the Canadian country star’s most recent albums: “Life’s About To Get Good” from 2017’s “Now” and “Giddy Up!” from this year’s “Queen of Me.”

The 23 songs reveal the cross-genre prowess that saw Twain climb both country and pop charts, and then allowed future country-pop artists — especially female country-pop artists — to do the same. Casual fans won’t notice huge differences in the remastered tracks. The rousing drum beat and melodic fiddle on “Any Man of Mine” still provides a rich background to Twain’s strong vocals, but feels sharpened. The futuristic intro of “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” sounds brighter, “Up!” is still aggressively catchy and optimistic.

Missing, like in 2004, are any songs from Twain’s self-titled debut album. The hits begin instead with those from “The Woman in Me,” her second album and the first produced by her then-husband Robert “Mutt” Lange. As she told The Associated Press in 2020, that album made her a star, but more importantly, gave her more control of her artistry. “In my mind, I was just being myself and that was the great thing of all — to just be able to be myself and let my personality come through in the music,” she said.

That personality shines through on the remastered tracks, its strength emphasized by her consistency. Twain’s voice may have changed in the years between 2002’s “Up!” and “Now” and amid her battle with Lyme disease, but it’s clear she is as confident on “Life’s About to Get Good” and “Giddy Up!” as she is on iconic hits like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”

It’s surprising that it took this long for Twain’s “Greatest Hits” to make it to vinyl — in many ways, a physical record seems like the perfect vessel for such a hitmaker’s greatest hits. The package now comes at a perfect moment: amid a surge in Shania love on the heels of her first tour in five years, ahead of her 2024 return to Las Vegas and just in time for the holidays.

Older Classics Dominate 2023's Top Canadian Albums Year-End Chart

They weren't released this year, but albums by Drake, The Tragically Hip, Shania Twain and more were in heavy rotation this year.

By Rosie Long Decter | Billboard Canada | December 29, 2023

The Billboard Canadian Albums chart measures the most popular albums in Canada each week. The 2023 year-end Top Canadian Albums chart is out.The year-end chart takes into account chart performance throughout the year, with longevity sometimes counting for more than high placement. (Read more about how the year-end charts are calculated here.)

The top five is dominated by the biggest albums of the year: Morgan Wallen's One Thing At A Time at No. 1 and his Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 5. Taylor Swift's Midnights comes in at No. 2 while SZA's SOS is at No. 3. Drake is the only Canadian artist in the top five, coming in at No. 4 with Her Loss, his 2023 collaborative album with 21 Savage. (Scarborough-born artist The Weeknd is also in the top 10, coming in at No. 7 with his 2021 greatest hits album The Highlights.)

Plenty of rising Canadian artists also released big albums this year, from Charlotte Cardin's 99 Nightsto The Beaches' Blame My Ex, to Karan Aujla & Ikky's Making Memories, but many of the highest-charting albums on the year-end Top Canadian Albums chart came out before 2023. That didn't hinder their popularity or longevity. Canadians kept these major artists on the charts this year, long after their records came out.

Shania Twain, Greatest Hits

Shania Twain had a comeback in 2023 with the album Queen of Me, which landed at No. 189 on the year-end chart, but Canadians were still buying and streaming her classics the most. The Queen of Country Pop landed at No. 66 on the 2023 Top Canadian Albums with Greatest Hits, her 2004 compilation which features all her No. 1 Hot Country Hits (and karaoke go-to-songs) like 1995's "Any Man Of Mine" 1997's "You're Still The One."
