Shania Twain


 

Shania Twain (shu-NYE-uh, born August 28, 1965) is a Canadian singer and songwriter who has been very successful in the country and pop music genres. She was the first female artist ever to have two consecutive albums be certified as Diamond, which entails shipments of over 10 million copies (not albums sold). Her fourth album, UP was also certified Diamond, however it only shipped 5.5 million copies, but since it's a double disc, and per the rules of the RIAA, it got a double certification.
