History
The album was a blockbuster success, becoming the 2nd biggest-selling studio album of all time by a female artist (behind Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard Soundtrack). It also became the biggest-selling country music album ever, the biggest-selling album by a Canadian act, and the 2nd best-selling album overall in music history by a female act. Come On Over is one of the biggest-selling albums in music history. Some of the reasons of its tremendous success were the availability of two different versions of the album (the original country version, released in 1997, and the revised pop international versions released in 1998 and 1999 respectively). The album was also supported by an extensive world tour by Twain.
