SWMEC has played on my local country station twice today!

What city and station? 

SWMEC is up to #41 on iTunes country chart.

I know the song has not even been out 24 hours but I figured it would be higher up on the iTunes charts then it is. I mean she was only on the tonight show on Wednesday. There are artists who have had the same song on the charts for months. I figured it would be climbing faster

Miley Cyrus also released her new single "Younger Now" today. It's already #14 on the U.S. iTunes All-Genres chart.

"SWMEC" is currently #41 on U.S. iTunes Country chart and #112 on the U.S. iTunes All-Genres chart.

 Sorry Tommy  you can't compare a younger act to a 51 year old megastar who is just getting used to the digital age. As her management said in that article that they are concentrating with this album on reintroducing her to the public after so long. They will also be concentrating on physical album sales. They said with the next allbums they will  concentrate more on  digital sales.  Shania will do well with allbum sales and tour sales like she always has.  As for single sales on itunes? she is still learning how to best do that. You can't even compare Shania to all these  younger acts. Shanis is  unique and never was a singles artist. Her songs are great but they don't fit any one format. I wouldn't concentrate on intues with this album if i were  you guys, it makes no sense to. With this album her label and her management are concentrating on physical album sales and how best to reintroduce her to the public and pick up new fans along the way. So everone take a chill pill and dont' be so obsessed with itunes for this album.

I understand all that and her label said they are concentrating on physical album sales rather than digital. Here's the thing. The majority of people today don't buy physical albums (CDs) and physical album sales have been dropping steadily the last 3-4 years. So I don't understand how people think NOW is going to sell well physically. Shania's new singles haven't done that well on iTunes in the U.S. and I think that might be an indicator for NOW's album sales.

---

 i disagree completely,  Shania will sell very well with physical album sales this fourth quarter and holiday season,  I think how well her singles do on iTunes has very little to do with people wanting to pick up a shania album this holiday season as a gift, After holiday season she will need radio airplay to sustain sales and she may have a couple gems on the album. i say hold your horses everyone lol

This isn't the same Shania everyone knew 15-20 years ago. I think you're overestimating the influence of holiday sales. I don't see people running out to the stores to buy the CD as a Christmas gift. I just don't. And the Shania fans will already have the album.

I'm curious what the end of week US sales figures tell us about Swingin' because that will give us an indication of how many albums are pre-ordered. Luckily the song will get an extra push in its second week due to the tennis opening ceremony show and maybe the music video in the 3rd week (?). Of course she won't chart that well in itunes, because she's not known to most of the itunes generation, but as Kevy says I think album sales will be fine. (I expect around 80.000-100.000 in its first week)

I want that songs!

 I believe that: 1) all here are fans who wish her success with the album; 2) have preordered the album already.

shania's greatest hits up to #19 on the all genre album itunes chart in the U.S.and #2 on country itunes album chart.

SWMEC is up to #39 on country charts on iTunes. Remember everyone, because this isn't at radio yet, we don't want this song to peak to early.

---

It's down to #50 today on U.S. iTunes Country chart and #161 on All-Genres chart. With her Greatest Hits album doing so well this indicates people still love her old music. Her new stuff, not so much. 

---

 That is not true at all. Her new album will sell well nomatter what. Her new album is ranked higher on Amazon than Miley's with both over a month away from release.   If you are going just by two singles released on iTunes to judge how her album will sell then you are headed for a surprise.

Not to get technical, but actually 3 singles counting the "Poor Me" promo... 

I think he said "OMG. That was her."

According to an article last week on Shania's official website, "SWMEC" isn't being sent to radio until September 18.

Shania Twain to Release ‘Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed’ to Country Radio

By Kelly Brickey | Sounds Like Nashville | August 21, 2017 

Shania Twain is making her big comeback into country music by “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” and landing right back on radio everywhere.

The country superstar catapulted back into the spotlight with her ‘Summer of Shania’ spirit after announcing that she would be releasing her first new album in 15 years called NOW. “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” holds the spot as her second single sent out to country radio and she’s surely powerful throughout the optimistic fight in the lyrics.

With the chorus creating an anthem through words like, “I’m swinging with my eyes closed / Got my hair down a wide open road / I’m swinging with my eyes closed / Only God knows how far it goes,” Twain stands up for herself in times of doubt and fear thanks to her dignified confidence.

“Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” follows that of her upbeat perspective on “Life’s About to Get Good.” Twain used her voice to nod toward the positivity she feels after her revitalizing epiphany from love throughout the past couple years. Ready to share her happy message with fans and the world, it seems as though Twain promises bigger and better things lying ahead for her.

One of those things happens to be a massive North American tour supporting her album throughout the late spring and summer of next year. She’ll hit both coasts as well as go back home to her native Canada for a handful of shows. Tickets will go on sale for the Shania Now Tour on Friday, August 25.

Twain will release her long-awaited album, NOW, to fans on September 29.
