Country music songstress Shania Twain is celebrating the big debut of her 'NOW' album! More on the record's warm worldwide reception here.

Country music icon Shania Twain‘s NOW album has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums— making it the first female country release in over three years to summit the all-genre chart. With a whopping 137,000-plus units sold, the superstar has earned Platinum in her home country of Canada and additionally landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country albums chart. The comeback record also took the No. 1 spot in Australia, Canada, the U.K. and Zimbabwe, as well as Top 5 in Ireland and New Zealand. The international star’s first album in nearly 15 years is one of her most personal to date as she wrote every song on the 16-track collection.

#ShaniaNOW is already platinum in Canada! I am over the moon! Thank you for all your support, I'm really feeling the home country love ❤
