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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
