The "Queen of Country Pop," Shania Twain talked with Behind the Setlist about preparing for her upcoming tour, her latest album (Queen of Me, released Feb. 3 by Republic Records), how performing other artists' songs early in her career helped make her the entertainer she is today and how she overcame adversity to become one of the biggest country stars. Twain's trio of albums from 1995 to 2002 rewrote the rulebook on what country music looked and sounded like. The Woman in Me from 1995 (featuring "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" and "Any Man of Mine") has sold more than 20 million units worldwide. Come On Over from 1997 produced 12 singles (including "You're Still the One" and "That Don't Impress Me Much") and has sold more than 40 million units worldwide. Up! from 2002 spent 5 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spent a total of 93 weeks on the chart. Twain's tour supporting Queen of Me begins April 28 in Seattle, WA and runs across North America through July, heads to the U.K. and Ireland in September and returns to the North America in October and November.
