No she was not  Shania hardly lasted 2 albums  No shade to her, but Taylor is far above.

[liquiddiamonds]

Lovin it for SZA and Bey. A sum larger than the winner for the later. The upset really worked in her favor at the end. 

 

Taylor already passed Shania longevity-wise and she has been fully embraced by audiences other than country in a way Shania never was. Shania had three big albums, but they were always country-pop at their core. Shania is still doin wonderful. Usually country females don’t even chart in the upper parts of the b200 past a certain age and she’s still getting good debuts

We can still make a thread for that me thinks.

Of course country music refuses to support Shania's comeback so they can play 90% of men on radio

Hardly lasted two albums? Do some research you absolute fart. I’m not even a fan and I know Shania shifted incredible numbers for at least 3 albums. 

[slw84]

not the Beyhive and Monsters comparing BB200 stats on occasional weeks.

 

 

My baby Shania better snatch another top 10. She served Wendy's and cow outfit and she ain't do that for nothing.

Oh wow 3 albums, you gagged me.  Comparing her to Taylor Swift who has had +10 albums of straight success is nonsense  Shania is more-like the Adele of the 90s

Taylor does have a bigger career than Shania but you can't deny the influence she's had on Taylor and the doors she opened for her  Shania was the first female country artist to have a #1 album in the UK and overall be a huge success in places that didn't listen to country (like Europe and Japan).

OT - SZA if she releases the physicals next week (or the week after that one cause of the SB) she might snatch another week at #1 which is insane to think about

This may have seemed plausible around Speak Now/Red, but there’s no comparison between the two now. It’s difficult to find any reference point for Taylor, 10 albums and 15+ years in and still operating at peak commercial power with ALL of her albums still being heavily consumed.

[fridayteenage]

shania could be #1 uk and #10 us? weird

[SoldierofLove]

Come on, Shania! Come through with that top 10 debut! 
 

She is working HARD for that top 10! She released four exclusive signed digital covers: https://officialstore.shaniatwain.com/?fbclid=PAAaaJ0gq2Yh58XZ5Up19tn_UX_DeWOHFwaIRZuFqaCw8Pzu-1CZkWJ9oeTcc

 

Taking a page out of her protégé’s playbook. I ain’t mad at all! I hope she gets all of the sales she can get! Giddy up!

Whatever helps you cope, Taylor isn't about to leave her fanbase high and dry for 15+ years to drop Now, then wait another 6 for Queen of Me 💀

[Auburn]

So happy to see Shania in the top ten on Grammys week nonetheless! I was worried about how this would debut since Now had tour bundles, but this is pretty good! Top ten in the US and hopefully #1 in both Canada and the UK at 57 years old

Taylor also isn't 40 yo+ with Lyme disease destroying her vocal nerves like Shania was 

 

there is no comparison because Taylor had to completely abandon country to see the global success Shania has had

Shania also couldn't go Pop because she'd lose her Country base like Faith Hill

Not Renaissance above Harry's House. The GP has spoken  

 

How is Certified Lover Boy still in top 20?

The random Shania and Taylor comparisons here. ATRL is so weird.

Technically the 3rd album “only” sold about 5 million in the US.  Still incredibly successful but about 1/3rd of its predecessor.  Either way, this still does not contradict the point of the person you were responding to. 

[By the Water]

Hope Shania snatches it 

 

Beyoncé with a bigger Grammys boost than Harry?
