Shania Twain Has Week’s Top Country Debut On Spotify
Country Insider | October 3, 2022
The top seven tracks on Spotify’s Country Global chart remain static this week, led by Zach Bryan’s “Something in the Orange.” Nate Smith’s “Whiskey on You” and Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know” re-enter the Top 10. Parker McCollum’s “Handle on You” makes the chart’s biggest move, climbing 85 spots to No. 34. Shania Twain’s “Waking Up Dreaming” makes the highest entry at No. 51.
It looks like "Waking Up Dreaming" is selling well in the U.S. and Canada. I have no idea how the song is considered Country. Must be because that is Shania's "default" genre.

I did something 😂 After we shot the Waking Up Dreaming music video, I stole a few of the set design posters for keepsake but actually I'm going to sign them and give them away... much more fun!! Enter here for a chance to win one:shaniatwain.lnk.to/contest
WUD is beginning to slide down on Shania’s top streaming songs in her Spotify profile. No promotion of the song in Canada or US since its’ release. Can it regain traction without promotion? Not likely.
Also, WUD no longer on Top 200 all genre chart on iTunes, and down to #132 on Country chart.
I still don't understand why she hasn't promoted it in North America at all. I hope when she eventually announces the album, that will receive more promotion.
The iconic looks that I'm known for through my career go both ways - fashion doesn't have a gender to me. And the photoshoot for Waking Up Dreaming was no different, I wanted to play with masculinity and femininity... as I have done my whole life.
So it may just be me selfishly wanting more but the song has been out for two weeks and she keeps promising more is to come but so far nothing has came. She hasn't even performed it anywhere (not counting the Starstruck performance). I was kinda expecting more to happen by now.
Tommy what you think the plan is? New record label. She's hasn't really promoted the song in North America which is a bit odd. She has a lot of support in Canada. Cma awards or America Music awards perhaps?

Let's put it this way. If Shania doesn't perform at one of those award shows in November, this album is going down the same road (promotion/success/sales-wise) as NOW. Another flop. I'm not being negative, just telling it like it is. I just don't know why she would perform "Waking Up Dreaming" if the second single will most likely be released around that time.
"Waking Up Dreaming" debuts at No. 25 on this week's Billboard Adult Contemporary chart (Week of October 15).
I think people just missed Shania and her uplifting songs. I'm sure it's probably nostalgia reasons. But yeah, her disappearing after releasing the song boggles my mind.
Sure I said Adult Contemporary would play it, Number 16 is impressive with no promotion. They always support Shania's music. So can she be nominated for any awards if the song keeps climbing this chart? Does Billboard have a specific way to nominate a song from just this chart? Also IF this were promoted in the United States I think it would be a hit. I think her new label is going to focus on sending her songs to this format as that is where it fits. Does number 16 on the AC chart make it a hit? Also it has been added to Canadian radio AC Billboard and first week here it debuted at No. 25 on the chart. This may be getting promoted soon in North America. It seems like this song might do fine. Country radio won't play it but AC still has an impressive audience.
She’s added to the A-list of BBC Radio 2. Waking Up Dreaming was also the No. 25 most played song on UK radios last week (all genres). This week it moves up 3 spots to No. 22.
I'm expecting a New single to be released next month, Probably will start promoting it when she gets to the USA. Unless she continues promoting Waking up Dreaming but a second single sounds more likely. As for an awards show? Hopefully a big announcement soon. Cma awards unlikely but AMA awards more likely. I'm thinking she was testing the single to see how it would do. Overall it has done relatively good on the AC charts. The Walking up dreaming isn't being played on County radio in Canada which I'm surprised. Tommy is correct it ain't County radio material. AC for sure and maybe that is the format she will use. Unless the next single has a more country/pop sound. Regardless I just don't think country radio will support her now doesn't matter if she released a country song. Adult Contemporary is still a chart and if they are playing it then they like it. To me the song is technically already a minor hit and we'll shall see how it does on AC Billboard Next week!!!
A few of you text me about wanting Waking Up Dreaming merch so we printed a limited run of t-shirts and sweatshirts! Get yours here:officialstore.shaniatwain.com
There must be a second single coming nothing has been released to Canadian radio, New single and album Friday with promotion in North America. I'm still confused why she didn't promote Waking Up dreaming in North America? Any thoughts Tommy?

I don't know. Probably because it is 100% Pop and more suited for UK audience. But yes, I expect a new single to be released Friday.

Yeah, I expect a new single Friday, too. She's closing the Waking Up Dreaming single with the Behind the Scene video, so this leads to a new song era, I guess.
I wonder if she's gonna release Giddy Up or Luv Eyes, they both were on the posters seen on the WUD video.
But maybe she's gonna surprise us with another song. After Not Just a Girl and Waking Up Dreaming she might release a ballad.

Yes that song has been on BMI for months now.
If it's true, I didn't expect it to be released.
But I'd be soooo happy, I want to hear that song so bad.
If this is true, she'll have to announce it (or any song) by tomorrow because it will be released in New Zealand at 8:00am ET on Thursday morning.
Summer is already over, so would not make sense releasing a song at this time of the year. Do we even know if she is releasing a new single On Friday? I haven’t seen any evidence of this per her posts.

It doesn't look like a new single will be released on Friday. Shania would have announced it by now. "Waking Up Dreaming" was announced on a Monday (9/19). So it must be the album announcement coming on Friday. And possibly the tour announcement afterall. Or I guess there's always the outside chance of announcing the Come On Over: Diamond Edition. But I'm pretty sure it'll be the new album.

New single could be next Friday or November sometime, She said lots of news. New album and world tour sounds correct. Come on over edition might be possible but would be strange this late in the game as she was with another record label. It's still early a new single could still come Friday it is only 12.30 P:M where I am currently to in Canada. So still a possibility. I'm currently staying in Eastern Canada Newfoundland. Also can't she release a new single Friday as a surprise? I know you said it would be released in certain countries tomorrow but a day later can be possible no? She has lots of News unless she will announce everything Friday. I still see a brand new single coming soon within a week or two. Maybe closer to the American Music Awards if she shows and I'm unsure at this point of the promotion for the album. The Cma awards seem extremely unlikely but hopefully she does promotion some how, I am curious as to how many songs are on the new album and curious to the sound. Seems to be an upbeat pop record. Regardless this is a new Era of Shania and I think she might be done with country music. At this point she wants a great album out she does not need country radio anyway because she already has all the social media platforms to promote it. 100% this will be a great album just doesn't mean it will be country radio friendly. She's 57 to get another album and tour I'm grateful. Bring it on Shania you will do just fine. Do what makes you happy. We love you and so does this website. Maybe just another song Friday but not technically a single release. Everything will be announced Friday and maybe she will announce a brand new single to be released next week. Still hope she announces something today or teases at least. I think the album will sell decent if the songs are good, The tour will be well regardless. I think Kelsea might be the opening act for all of her tours coming if announcement Friday. The Come On Over edition seems unlikely but those new YouTube videos got me curious that maybe that might be it. Unlikely but potentially. To release a new single I think she might announce one soon or perhaps close to the album release date. Come on Shania., no more teasing please I'm just wanting a new album. Don't care if it only sells 100 000 copies because I just love the new sound. I'll buy it and will see you on tour. Now get another single out soon my queen and music video and promote the hell out of it.

There's still time to release a new song. Usually, when you get a new song along with the album pre-order, the announcement is done the day before the release (tomorrow, in her case), even if in some Countries it's already Friday morning (New Zealand, Australia, Europe).
Taylor Swift always waits for Midnight on the East Coast to release her albums (last Friday, here in Italy the album has been available at 6 a.m.).

So anything can still happen.
If she releases a new song only on streaming platforms with the announcement of the album, that would mean it's not really an official single. It would just be a promo song like "Poor Me" from NOW.

Could she release a single tomorrow? Then release it international the same day. Have artists released singles on a Friday without any announcement before? She said she had lots of new to share this week wondering what, Maybe the tour and new album then a single next Friday. It got me super excited but one Concert announcement then she disappeared. The CMA's would be perfect to release another single but maybe the AMA awards. We shall see
Where you find that album Cover ? Also The new single? Can't find the information anywhere
The album is already available for pre-order on Apple Music in countries where it is Friday. The second single (or promo) "Last Day Of Summer" is also available. It sounds pretty good! I already like this album ALOT better than NOW.

Last Day of Summer sound amazing and so does her voice, That is the kind of song I like. I only heard 30 seconds. Doesn't sound autotuned Tommy am I right? Now won't come close to this album. This song is so calm yet so beautiful
