Elsewhere the single "Dance With The One That Brought You", a staple of Country MTV, directed by Sean Penn, provoked comparisons with Trisha Yearwood. The follow-up album saw a rare non-rock outing for her producer, songwriting partner and husband Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Foreigner), who spent much of 1994 working on sessions with Twain in Nashville. The Woman In Me was an extraordinary crossover success in the USA, not only when it was first released, but over a year later, when it went back to the top of the album charts for another six months.Sales of this album had topped 10 million by 1998 and yielded four Top 10 country hits. During that eventful year she won most of the country music awards, including the Entertainer Of The Year trophy, and released her follow-up album, Come On Over. This was predominantly a pop collection, with Twain's country roots buried beneath Lange's glossy production. "You're Still The One" was a crossover hit, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May, and the album became a permanent fixture in both the US and UK Top 10. Another huge US hit, "From This Moment On", was the single which broke Twain in the UK, debuting at number 9 in November. "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" were also huge US/UK hit singles the following year, and by March 2000 the album was confirmed as both the bestselling album in country music history, and the bestselling album ever by a female artist. By altering her musical course slightly, Twain has done much to popularize country music to a wider US audience and to reinvent herself in the UK as a pop singer. |
