Born in Windsor, Ontario, Twain rose from rags to riches to become the biggest-selling female country artist of all time. Her smash hit recordings from 1995 to 2004 broke numerous sales records and established her as an international superstar.
She is the only female artist to have three consecutive albums sell more than 10 million copies in the United States. Her third album, Come On Over (1997), is the best-selling country album of all time, the biggest-selling album of the 1990s and the sixth biggest-selling in US history. An Officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, she was the first non-American to be named Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards.
