===1997β2001: ''Come On Over'', international breakthrough, and Limelight Sessions=== In 1997 Twain released her follow-up album, ''[[Come On Over]]''. It established her as a successful crossover singer. Of the sixteen tracks on the album, twelve were released as singles. Following the release of lead singles "[[Love Gets Me Every Time]]" and "[[Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)]]", which allowed her to make more appearances in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, the album started selling. With the release of third single, "[[You're Still the One]]", sales skyrocketed. "[[From This Moment On (Shania Twain song)|From This Moment On]]", "[[When (Shania Twain song)|When]]", "[[Honey, I'm Home]]", "[[That Don't Impress Me Much]]", "[[Man! I Feel Like a Woman!]]", "[[You've Got a Way]]", the [[Come On Over (Shania Twain song)|title track]], "[[Rock This Country!]]", and "[[I'm Holdin' On to Love (To Save My Life)]]" are the other nine songs that eventually saw release as singles. With the exception of "I'm Holdin' On to Love", all of the singles had accompanying music videos. "From This Moment On" is a duet with singer [[Bryan White]] and there was a re-recorded solo pop version, which was used for its music video.<ref>"Year-to-Date Songwriters Charts."

It is also the ninth highest-selling album by any type of artist in the US<ref name=RIAA /> and the top selling country album in history. Songs from the album won four Grammy Awards during this time, including [[Grammy Award for Best Country Song|Best Country Song]] and [[Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance|Best Female Country Performance]] (for "You're Still the One" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!") for her.

''Come On Over'' went to No. 1 on the UK album charts for 11 weeks. It became the biggest selling album of the year in the UK and a bestseller in other big European markets as well, selling more than one million copies in Germany and nearly 4 million in the UK alone. Although "You're Still The One" and the pop version of "From This Moment On" cracked the Top 10 of the UK charts and "When" had success in the Top 20, the songs that drew European attention to the album were the pop remixed singles of "That Don't Impress Me Much", which reached number 3 in the UK and cracked the Top 10 in Germany, and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", which peaked at number 3 in both the UK and France. Additionally, "You've Got a Way" was remixed specifically for inclusion on the soundtrack for the film ''[[Notting Hill (film)|Notting Hill]]''. Subsequently, a reissue of the international version of the album was released worldwide, including the US and Europe, containing three of these new remixes. Additionally, the album set the record for the longest ever stay in the Top 20 of the ''Billboard'' 200, remaining there for 99 weeks.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/archive/charts/1999/country-albums|title=1999 Archive|magazine=Billboard|access-date=August 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814041847/https://www.billboard.com/archive/charts/1999/country-albums|archive-date=August 14, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Billboard'' magazine declared Shania Twain the most played adult contemporary artist on US radio in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/Billboard-Airplay/1999/BBAM-1999-12-24.pdf |title=Shania Twain Helps Island/Def Jam Music Claim AC Supremacy |work=Airplay Monitor |page=46 |date=December 24, 1999 |access-date=July 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125051300/https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/Billboard-Airplay/1999/BBAM-1999-12-24.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> In 1998, she launched her first major concert tour, aided by her manager [[Jon Landau]], a veteran of many large-scale tours with [[Bruce Springsteen]].
