Shania Twain is back on the Billboard 200 more than two decades after her album Up! ruled the chart.
Twain’s new album, Little Miss Twain, debuts at No. 131 on the latest Billboard 200, giving the country-pop superstar a new chart entry in 2026. The album has also made an impact in her native Canada, where it opens at No. 20 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.
The new chart appearance comes 24 years after Up! became Twain’s first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in 2002.
Little Miss Twain, released July 24, takes Twain back to the years before she became an international star. The album looks at her childhood in Timmins, Ontario, her early days as a young performer and the musical influences that helped shape her career.

The project is a personal look at the woman behind the famous name.
Twain told Billboard Canada that much of the album deals with subjects she would not normally write about as a commercial songwriter. “Everyone knows the international recording artist Shania Twain, but who was I before that?”
That question sits at the heart of Little Miss Twain.
The No. 131 Billboard 200 debut adds another chart chapter to Twain’s long career.
According to the Billboard 200 history provided, Twain has earned two No. 1 albums, 11 charting titles and six Top 10 albums on the chart.
Her first No. 1 came with Up!, which debuted in December 2002 and spent 15 weeks at its peak position. The album remained on the Billboard 200 for 93 weeks.
Before Up!, Twain had already changed the sound of country music with her pop crossover style.
Her 1995 album The Woman in Me reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for 107 weeks. Her 1997 blockbuster Come On Over peaked at No. 2 and spent 151 weeks on the chart. Greatest Hits also reached No. 2.
Twain later returned to No. 1 with Now in 2017. That album became her second Billboard 200 chart-topper.
Now, nearly a decade after Now and 24 years after Up!, Little Miss Twain gives the singer another Billboard 200 entry.
The new album also continues a strong run for Twain in Canada. Little Miss Twain debuts at No. 20 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, following her 2023 album Queen of Me, which opened at No. 2.
Little Miss Twain is Twain’s seventh studio album and centers on her life before she became one of country music’s biggest stars.
Before Shania Twain became a global name, she was Eilleen Regina Twain, a young singer from northern Ontario who performed in local bars and dreamed of building a life in music.
Little Miss Twain includes collaborations with Tanya Tucker, Josh Homme, The War and Treaty, Ronnie Wood and T Bone Burnett, among others.
Another track, “Faded Blue Jeans,” features Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. Twain has connected the song to a pair of jeans she has had since she was a teenager.
The album also includes “Northern Town,” which draws from everyday memories of Twain's childhood, and “Stranger Things,” a song built around the sound of a chugging train.
The Woman in Me, Come On Over and Up! helped transform Twain into one of the biggest female artists in country music. Her crossover sound brought country music to a much wider pop audience.
The new release also comes after another major period in Twain's career. She toured behind Queen of Me, completed a Las Vegas residency and performed major shows in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Twain also joined Harry Styles for more than 12 dates on the European leg of his world tour in London and Amsterdam.
With Little Miss Twain, Twain is not simply revisiting her biggest hits. She is looking further back, toward the young singer who existed before the fame.
