Jika ada yang bertanya; Album siapa yang paling laris pada dekade 1990an? Jawabnya adalah album Come On Over milik Shania Twain.
The album became an unprecedented blockbuster success, breaking many sales records around the world and becoming
- the biggest-selling studio album of all time by a female artist (surpassing Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill), the biggest-selling country music album ever,
- the biggest-selling album by a Canadian ever, the biggest-selling album of the 1990s and one of the biggest selling albums in music history.
- Some of the reasons of its tremendous success were the availability of two different versions of the album (the original country version, released in 1997, and the pop and revised international versions released in 1998 and 1999 respectively) and the huge promotion that the album received, supported by an extensive world tour and an impressive 12 hit singles, all of them released through September 1997 through July 2000.
- Eleven of those singles were released in Canada and the U.S., and all of them reached The Top 5 on the Canada country chart, including #1 hits.
Fenomena Shania Twain memang luar biasa saat itu. Padahal Shania sempat di tuding berkhianat dengan genre musik nya. Namun yang terjadi sebaliknya. Sebelum album Come On Over di rilis, Shania hanya dikenal dibeberapa negara saja dengan album-album country-nya. Titik tertinggi karirnya di capai berkat album Come On Over yang menelurkan belasan hits yang hampir bisa disenandungkan semua penggemarnya. Bayangkan, 12 singles di rilis dan sebelas diantaranya menduduki tangga lagu...!! Sekali lagi, wikipedia mencatat performa lagu-lagu nya di tangga lagunya sebagai berikut:
- Twain topped her own record with the release of Come on Over, beating out then Diamond album The Woman in Me, as the best-selling country music album ever released by a female artist. It was, in fact, the best-selling album ever released by a female artist. Debuting at #2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with a moderate 172,000 copies (3,000 units behind Mase's Harlem World), the album showed its consistency when it moved another 170,000 copies in its second week (a 1.2% decrease) to stay at #2 again behind Barbra Streisand's Higher Ground.
- The RIAA certified Come on Over Gold, Platinum and 2× platinum on December 23, 1997. It sold more than 100,000 units in each of sixty-two weeks. The album's best sales week was its 110th week, during which it sold 355,000 units to settle at number ten (Christmas 1999).
- The album stayed on the top 100 for 151 weeks. Worldwide, the album has sold 39 million copies. Come on Over ranks as the second best-selling album of the Nielsen SoundScan era in United States, with 15,487,000 copies sold up to December 24, 2009,[2] trailing its nearest rival, Metallica's 1991 self-titled album, by only 3,000 copies.
Shania awalnya merilis album Come On Over di negaranya, Kanada dengan musik country yang standar. Melihat gelagat bahwa album ini laris di pasaran, kemudian tahun 1998 Shania merilis Come On Over secara internasional dan hasilnya bisa ditebak. Album terlaris dekade 1990. Lagu You're still the one menjadi lagu cinta evergreen yang terus diingat orang hingga sekarang. That don't impress me much menjadi anthem para wanita yang sebel dengan tingkah pria yang menyebalkan. From This Moment menjadi lagu pernikahan yang terus abadi hingga sekarang. Demikian juga You've Got A Way. yang menjadi theme song film laris Julia Roberts "Notting Hill", sementara lagu-lagu lainnya sama enaknya dan begitu menghentak telinga. Semua orang tiba-tiba keranjingan musik country yang berevolusi menjadi musik internasional. Predikat Diva langsung Shania sandang. Shania juga terpilih sebagai salah satu Diva dalam acara Divas Live dimana ia berbagi panggung dengan Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, dan Gloria Estefan.
Setelah album ini Shania merilis album Up yang juga sukses luar biasa (namun tidak menyaingi album Come On Over), kemudian Greatest Hits. Perlahan, ketika dia menjadi ibu, Shania seolah sibuk dengan urusan rumah tangga. Sempat santer akan merilis album fenomenal lain, malah terdengar kabar ia bercerai dengan suaminya yang menurut berita berselingkuh dengan teman baiknya.
Ayolah Shania, bangun dan buat album fenomenal lainnya.....kami merindukanmu....!
