Here is a download link to the digital booklet that I created for NOW. This is only the standard version as of now. I'm still waiting for an HQ picture of her sitting on the sofa for the deluxe version to be completed. I hope you enjoy it!

I wonder what percentage of the sales were the copies that were given away for free. 🤔

---

 nothing was given away for free lol you still had to buy the bundle and most people would of bought the CD either way if they didn't buy the bundle. Taylor swift is making people buy her her cd and merchandise just so they can buy a ticket to her concert.   in answer to your question Shania would of debuted #1 by far even without the bundle. She was ahead on Amazon for a couple months and she dominated physical sales in stores. what is everyone's excuse for her beating the pop tarts on the album charts in Australia where there is no tour lol

---

 Ah, okay. Was just wondering. Thanks for the reply! :)

Does anyone know if "Swingin" has been officially released to radio in the U.S.?

It was released to radio September 29. So far only a couple non-MediaBase stations have added it.

The problem is radio won't play her music, I don't think it matters what she releases. Swinging with my eyes closed is a good song but the timing of its release was not the best. I am not sure what single would be a hit. Also she can't sing live, I have yet to hear a live performance. I also think the presale tickets helped the sales of the album quite a bit. Maybe I am wrong

---

 you are totally clueless on so many things. first of all she would of debuted #1 without any tickets.  She waa leading on Amazon for months by a lot and she dominated in store sales.what is your excuse for her debuting #1 in Australia with no tour lol second of all her Hyde park performance in London was 90 percent live. Don't make stupid comments like she can't sing live. enjoy your evening.

My love call me whatever, Most people won't speak up too you but whenever someone post a comment and you don't like your always rude. If I was next to ya id slap the face right off ya. My rant for the night

 don't worry i wouldn't retaliate 🤤🤤 i don't hit women 😁😁 Some people call it rude, I call it speaking my mind😊

"This Didn't Impress Me Much" I mean wow is all I have to say about what I just saw on the forum. We can agree to disagree and furthermore. Shania will not tolerate this type of behavior, attitudes and how we treat one another. Life is about joy and pain remember that! So please keep the conversation constructive, on point and try a little harder to explain one self better. Grey is the color I see!

Shania Twain's 'Now' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

By Keith Caulfield | Billboard | October 8, 2017

Shania Twain debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with Now, her first studio album in nearly 15 years. The set starts atop the list with 137,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 5, according to Nielsen Music.

Of that sum, 134,000 were in traditional album sales -- the third-largest sales week for a country album in 2017, and the largest for a woman in nearly two years. Now, which was released on Sept. 29 through Mercury Nashville, is Twain’s second No. 1 album and the first chart-topping country set by a female artist in over three years.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Oct. 21-dated chart (where Now debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Twain’s Now is the singer’s fifth studio album, and first since Up!, which was released in November of 2002. The latter album marked the performer’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and spent five weeks in the penthouse (and six weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart). Following Up!, she issued a Greatest Hits album two years later that hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Top Country Albums. Then, in 2015, she released the live album Still the One: Live From Las Vegas, which peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on Top Country Albums.

Now is the second country album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2017, following Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes. Now is also the first country set by a woman to lead the chart in over three years, since Miranda Lambert’s Platinum spent a week at No. 1 (June 21, 2014).

Additionally, Now notches the third-biggest sales week for a country album in 2017, following Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 1 (202,000) and Zac Brown Band’s Welcome Home (139,000). Now also claims the biggest sales frame for a country album by a woman since Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller started with 164,000 (Nov. 14, 2015-dated chart).

Twain made her Billboard chart debut on March 27, 1993 with the single “What Made You Say That,” which entered the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 74. It eventually peaked at No. 55, marking the first of over 30 hits for Twain on the list. Her self-titled debut album topped out at No. 67 in 1993 on the Top Country Albums chart, and did not reach the all-genre Billboard 200.

Her follow-up, The Woman in Me, seriously changed her chart fortunes, as the album spent 29 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Her third album, the blockbuster Come On Over, spent a record 50 weeks at No. 1 on Top Country Albums (still the longest run at No. 1 for any album in the chart’s history), and hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Twain’s Now was led by the single “Life’s About to Get Good,” which hit No. 33 on Hot Country Songs and has so far peaked at No. 12 on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart.

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200, the late Tom Petty re-enters with his Greatest Hits (alongside The Heartbreakers), as the album returns to the list with 84,000 units (up 2,231 percent) and 52,000 in traditional album sales (up 3,407 percent). Petty died on Oct. 2. Greatest Hits initially peaked at No. 5 in February of 1994, following its release the previous year.

Greatest Hits is Petty’s third album to peak at No. 2 on the chart, alongside Mojo (2010) and Damn the Torpedoes (1980). He hit No. 1 once, with Hypnotic Eye in 2014.

Demi Lovato earns her sixth top 10 album with the debut of Tell Me You Love Me at No. 3. It bows with 75,000 units (48,000 in traditional album sales). She previously hit the top 10 with all five of her prior releases: Confident (No. 2 in 2015), Demi (No. 3, 2013), Unbroken (No. 4, 2011), Here We Go Again (No. 1, 2009), and Don’t Forget (No. 2, 2008).

At No. 4, Rapper A Boogie Wit da Hoodie scores his first top 10 album, as his first full-length studio album, The Bigger Artist, launches with 67,000 units (10,000 in traditional album sales). The set is largely powered by streaming activity, as it collected 54,000 SEA units (equaling 81.2 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s songs in its first week). A Boogie Wit da Hoodie has charted twice previously with the mixtapes Artist (No. 70) and TBA (No. 63).

Miley Cyrus’ Younger Now rounds out the debuts in the top 10, as the album bows at No. 5 with 45,000 units (33,000 in traditional album sales). It’s Cyrus’ 13^th charting effort, and 11^th top 10 album (including titles billed to her former Disney Channel alter ego, Hannah Montana). She was last in the top 10 with her 2013 effort Bangerz, which debuted at No. 1.

Post Malone’s Stoney is steady at No. 6 on the new Billboard 200, with 42,000 units (up 14 percent) while Lil Uzi Vert’s Luv Is Rage 2 dips four slots to No. 7 with 40,000 units (down 10 percent). Imagine Dragons’ Evolve falls one position to No. 8 with 39,000 units (though up 6 percent) and Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. descends 8-9 with 34,000 units (down less than 1 percent). Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) closes out the top 10, as it’s a non-mover at No. 10 with 31,000 units (up 4 percent).

As I understand it, that's why artists do album "giveaways" with concert tickets, etc.. To increase sales.

 Actually I think if you checked it out billboard changed the rules on bundles and made it stricter ever since john mayor and prince  used it.  Bundles or not Shania would of easily debuted #1.      look at what Taylor swift is doing.  She is making everyone who buys a ticket for her concert  to buy merchandise or albums.  Now that really boosts sales lol      also the small percentage who buy bundles would of bought the album either way and it is not given away since bundles cost more.
