While in Music City this week, Shania Twain was surprised by UMG Nashville CEO & Chairman Mike Dungan, along with the UMG Nashville staff, with a champagne toast and plaque in celebration of Twain’s long-awaited album NOW debuting No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart in the U.S. and topping the sales charts in Australia, the U.K. and in her native Canada.

Her first album in nearly 15 years, NOW is one of Twain’s most personal to date as she singlehandedly wrote every song on the 16-track collection including her latest “We Got Something They Don’t,” impacting radio Oct. 30.

Twain co-produced the critically-acclaimed album with Matthew Koma, Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen, Gavin DeGraw), Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes) and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon).
