שאניה במגזין של COUNTRY WEEKLY

10 האמנים המשפיעים ביותר יש 5 שערים למגזין (שאניה מופיעה באחד מהשערים) Since Country Weekly began in 1994, these stars shaped, shook and steered the decade that followed, History doesn't just happen - people make it. The same is certainly true in country music. One star's sound, personality, style, attitude or convictions can start a movement, rearrange the musical map or even influence the way we understand the world.Here are some of the 10 stars who, above anyone else, led the way and set the standards over the 10 years since Country Weekly's first issue in 1994. SHANIA TWAIN

Of all the superstars in country music, Shania Twain has come the farthest. From her impoverished beginnings in northern Ontario, Canada, she skyrocketed to international success in the mid-'90s, with scores of hits, armfuls of awards (including Entertainer of the Year honors from the CMA and ACM) and a position as the best-selling female country artist of all time. What's more, she is the only artist in the history of recorded music to have three consecutive albums - The Woman in Me, Come on Over and her latest, Up! - sell more than 10 million copies each. But even that distinction pales next to the fact that Come on Over has sold over 35 million copies worldwide - and is the best-selling female solo album, the best-selling country album and one of the five top-selling albums in history! Her beauty and sex appeal have captivated not only the world, but also Revlon cosmetics, which selected her as a national spokesperson. Shania also caught the eye of Hollywood networks, who have spotlighted her in national TV specials. Not bad for a girl who once worked swinging an ax with her stepfather on a reforestation crew in the Canadian bush! While Shania landed her record deal in large part because of her original material, her self-titled debut album in 1993 featured only one of her songs. But that changed after she met a long-distance admirer named Robert John "Mutt" Lange, a successful rock producer who loved her voice and her original songs. He soon became her biggest supporter and later her husband. Living today in Switzerland with their son, Eja, the power couple has written, produced and recorded songs that have taken Shania's career into the stratosphere. And they've done it their way, with a style that's instantly identifiable and universally appealing.
