Shania Twain is ultimate symbol of the amalgamation of Country and Pop. The best-selling diva’s hits from the 90’s have garnered her a catalog, that has turned her into one of the best selling acts of all time.
With her velvety smooth and beautiful tonal quality, Shania has crooned her way to our hearts with unforgettable classics like ‘You’re Still The One’ and ‘From This Moment On’.
Twain, who made her debut in the music scene with her self-titled debut album released in the year 1993, was the first female to earn three Diamond certified albums, with sales of over 10 million units each in the United States – a record she now shares, with the late Whitney Houston.
But apart from her gigantic record sales and record-breaking hits, Shania’s artistry is celebrated for her impeccable songwriting skills and her mesmerizing vocals (apart from her stunning physical beauty, of coarse) and her legacy of taking elements of Country and combining it with a Pop sound, giving it a crossover appeal that made her the biggest Country female superstar in the world.
Looking back at some of her most musically and lyrically rich masterpieces, here are the singer’s top 10 best songs of all time:
10) You Win My Love

9) Woman In Me
The title track from her sophomore studio album. The song’s heartbreaking message speaking about craving for love from your better half, written in partnership with her husband of 17 years – Robert John “Mutt” Lange – who was the face behind majority of her career hits, is still as powerfully resonating as it was some 3 decades ago.

1) No One Needs To Know
A daydreamer’s paradise. Shania fantasizes with her eyes wide open, as she falls head-over-heels for a man she doesn’t even know yet, and still plans it all down to the very last minute detail. The innocent charm, the country sound, the harmonica, the lyrics and the harmonized male vocals in the background – all make it a standout track in all of her discography.
