Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

OMG! Raye is SO desperate! 😵😵😵 Maybe she had to choose other time for the release instead of crying out loud? 

Raye's album is a good album too, but I still hope Shania wins the race much more.

Do we know actual sales numbers for QOM in UK?

Shania just crossed 15 million listeners monthly average on Spotify! She’s never had that high of a number. Also, GU! remains at number 3 of most streamed songs of Shania last 24 hour average. It’s almost to 10 million overall streams.

17k in sales. Better than NOW, which had tour bundle deals back than 👍🤠

Queen Of Me will debut at #10 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Top Country Albums chart with 37,238 Sales Plus Streaming (33,282 in physical sales). It’s the highest debut of the week. Physical sales of Queen Of Me are the second highest of any album sold this week. Its streaming numbers are the lowest in the entire Top 50.

I am overjoyed that Shania has reached number one in the United Kingdom and number five in Australia. I'm guessing #1 on both countries' country charts. She is such an icon and deserves this so much. It is one more beautiful moment to celebrate. I mean, she started with "What Made You Say That?" when I was 5 in 1993. Thirty years later, she still pulls number one, and so many people around the world love her.

As for the United States, I do not care that much anymore. I am just really shocked that the "Billboard" article spread false and misleading information that Shania, Harry, and Beyonce are battling for #1 just to get extra attention for the article. Instead, none of them are ranked first or even in the top five. All these artists who are on top now and ruling the charts just by streaming—let`s see where they are in 20–30 years. Many will be forgotten.
Shania is still selling arenas.

If she was confident in her voice she would have 💯performed at the Grammy’s. Unfortunately she decided to rely on silly attention seeking gimmicks like her outfits. So yes, her ridiculous got her attention albeit all negative it certainly isn’t going to translate to album sales. She is a singer with a new album she needs to actually sing her songs on award shows and talk shows.

I think it is up to her to decide what she wants to do. She still has a number-one album in the UK. And to be honest, judging by what people in the United States are listening to, it is even better that she spend her time in the UK instead of doing useless promo in the States. You might agree or not, but singers in the United States are suffering from ageism like in no other country. Radios do not even play her music, so one or two extra performances would not make her number one.

Is there any performer who is older than 40 or 45 and still enjoying enormous success? No one comes to mind. 

Stop this nonsense. Grammys typically saves performances for nominees unless there is a special dedication performance (such as the hip hop tribute during this year's show), and Shania wasn't nominated. 

Here are my top 5 tracks on "Queen of Me." Listen to the album all the time! ❤️

I've been her fan since Woman In me years. Mainstream pop music is dead. Most ppl don't care for it these days. Here she is trying to make an album that sounds like everything else in the top 40 from the last few years that could be done by Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. Even many of the melodies and lyrics are really repetitive like new pop music and not as complex and dynamic as her 90s stuff. The melodies are more catchy than regular top 40 these days, but the production is meh..just sounds like background soundtrack and nothing memorable like her 90s music with a whole variety of instruments and guitar solos riff and sounds you can replay in your head. Top 40 producers these days suck big time. music these days are so forgettable, in a year nobody would remember . She just needs to figure out what she wants to sound like, , show the new generation how it should be done , make music that has attitude and personality, something she used to do well, and not just chasing the trends like other 90s diva.

Well said, agree 100%. It’s a common thing I see with fan base to criticize every little thing and to never be happy. The thing with Shania is also in the early days ( TWIM, COO & UP) her gold was to be a global superstar and she did it. She worked very hard to attain that. Now she’s just enjoying herself and having fun and there is nothing wrong with that. She gave us a great album. I haven’t been able to listen to an album on repeat like i have with QOM. I was even surprised yesterday that my boyfriend played it on repeat 4 times as we don’t often Listen to the same stuff. Even my cousin last night said that she started listening to the album for the only purpose of getting her self familiar with the new songs for the tour (she only wants the classics) and she surprisingly loves the album. Let’s let her have her fun and stop nit picking every little thing.
