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:
“Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
