The collaboration between Shania Twain and Robert John “Mutt” Lange reached its peak in 1997 with the album Come On Over. Her third album wasn’t just a hit…it destroyed like very few albums in history ever had. Coming off of the huge success of The Woman In Me, no one expected this much more in the way of sales. 40 million worldwide. Twelve of the sixteen tracks were released as singles, with eight in the top ten. Three went to number one. Just in America. Twain and Lange had found a formula, alright. And it was, at least for a few years, a winner. But more than that. This is the album where the line was crossed into the dark world of pop country. And unfortunately, Nashville has never been the same since. So there’s that.
Come On Over has some great moments. “When” and “From This Moment On” are more country than pop, and are great. But those aren’t the songs that made this a smash. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”, “That Don’t Impress Me Much”, and the awful “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)” formed the unholy trilogy of pop country excess. Fiddles and twangy guitars can’t hide the fact that this record is less country than pop, the keyboards are awful and out of place, and Twain’s trademark “whoo” is more than tired by this time. But none of that matters. Because Come On Over made Twain a massive star, it made pop country a thing that is chased to this day, and it defined Twain as less of a country artist and more of a pop star. All of which is too bad, because the majority of this album is not bad. Not great, but not as terrible as its legacy suggests. [First added to this chart: 06/19/2023]
