How did a Shania Twain album sell 40 million copies?
>>
>>128014353
40 million people felt like a woman
>>
>>128014353
She was Taylor 1.0. And arguably hotter.
>>
>>128014353
lots of white women out there, also it's 33 million (20m in the US)
>>
She was hot and the music appealed to pop fans and country fans. Like >>128014654 said she was like (early) Taylor except hot
>>
>>128014353
- great songs
- great voice
- beautiful woman
- with a fun personality

what was puzzling you?
>>
>>128014654
>arguably
she was much, much hotter than Taylor. pls be serious.
>>
>>128014353
did you not see her body? holy fuck.
>>
Extremely fine woman

>>128014353

Great songwriters. That one album had an insane number of hits on it.
>>
>>128014357
That song cops the verse from Aerosmith

>>128014353
OK so you're a rocket scientist?

>>
>>128014353

>>
>>128014353
>be me.
>now Oldfag Leaf anon.
>once was videographer for tv station.
>telethon season
>shania is booked for a pretape
>get gig
>simple 3cam studio set up with piano
>shania comes in.
>run through her song 2x
>director asks for some close up handhelds

SLAM IN THE BACK OF MY DRAGULA

>>128014353

it was the album your mom would play before date night with your stepdad
>>
>>128016006
This guy gets it
>>
>>128014353
yeah, it's a total mystery why this stood out from the pack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE

if you complain about sabrina carpenter or taylor swift and then pretend shania twain is any better, you are a faggot.
>>
>>128014353
my copy has a different cover than this

That album is filled to the brim with great songs. Even the random deep cuts are amazing which is rare for pop music and pop-country. The instrumentation too.. my God. The guitar solo on Holdin Onto Love is euphoric, the fiddles on Don’t Be Stupid are hot enough to burn down the barn. The electronic songs have a great atmosphere as well. On top of that, Shania is an amazing singer and she’s beautiful as hell. She brings the girl power and fun teasing flirtiness without being a cringy man-hater. “That Don’t Impress Me Much” is so tame in comparison to the outright hatred some female singers have for men today.

you should kill yourself

>>128018132
I’d rather kill you
>>
>>128016396
This sounds like fucking shit, glad Shania took it
>>
>>128014353
With her pussy. I used to jack off to her album cover.
>>
>>128015826
they were okay pop songs. And she's an okay singer. And pretty, but not stunning.
>>
>>128016006
I know he's her producer/ex husband. But so what? Did he have pull to get extra promotion and radio play?
>>
>>128016899
Kek
>>
>>128014353
because she was incredibly fucking hot and charismatic unlike the deformed, dumpy midgets that pass for music stars nowadays
>>
>>128019383
gracie abrams mogs

>>128014357
damn
>>
>>128019383
>charismatic
prove it

>>128017342
On top of it she has nauseously libshit politics.

this recent trend in the past five or so years of shit getting so bad that we're now entertaining the taste of people who had shit taste twenty years ago is absolutely infuriating. it sucked then, it sucks now, rap country being even worse doesn't change that. reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>
By the time I was old enough to know what pic related song was, my brother said she was already a best selling artist

I haven't heard of any other songs she made
Was she astroturfed?
>>
>>128017342
The problem is, Shania directly inspired all those people.
>>
>>128014353
That album is actually the best selling album of all time by a female artist, that is what's puzzling to me
>>
>>128022002
if not this album then what album should be the best selling album by a female artist?
>>
She got Gravy'd recently.
>>
>>128016864
>>128016872
>smelled good
>perfect feet
>tiny
yeah, you're definitely A/V tech
>>
>>128014353
Have you listened to the album? It had like 5 top tier singles + being a country pop album it appealed to pop and country crowd.
>>
>>128022475
>Have you listened to the album?
not that anon but i doubt they have. i didnt listen to her music until years later when i finally picked up a copy of this cd. im not a homo but its hella catchy and fun. people like the thread starter dont realize how big the country fanbase is
>>
>>128017342
Are you not understanding the distinction? Shania Twain is a great singer from the before times when things still mattered.

Swift and Carpenter are non-singers who would be totally exposed if they were forced to sing live.

This is how good female pop stars were in the ‘90s:

"God I feel like a woman" was playing on the radio after I spun out and wrecked my Stang two decades ago. It took a few months to sink in.

The Woman in Me [Mercury, 1970]
A country gal from Canada in the great white-bread tradition of Anne Murray, only how times have changed. Murray's voice is forthrightly wholesome where Twain's is mildly lubricious. She'd never wear bikini-cut jeans--or a cowboy hat, makeup, a lake up to her clavicle, and your imagination. And of course, she hasn't devoted her career to convincing men that women with character aren't a threat. For all this, Murray became a lesbian hero. Shania will have none of that. C

it's more stupidity than faggotry, some people are so fucking dumb they're oblivious to the concept of nostalgia
