What Was the First Number 1 Album of the 21st Century? Shania Twain Dominated the Charts with Come On Over!

At the dawn of the new millennium, while the world feared the "end of good music", Shania Twain already reigned supreme. His album *Come On Over* (1997) was the first to reach number 1 in the UK in the 21st century, spending five weeks at the top from December 1999 and selling millions of copies.

The absolute highlight is the anthem 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!', which encapsulates themes of liberation, independence and the human spirit. Shania said: "If there's one song that affected culture that I wrote, it's this one! I worked with Mutt Lange. He played a guitar riff and I said, 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'"

Perfect for fans of country-pop, female empowerment and unforgettable hits. Listen and feel the energy that conquered the world.
