Shania Twain's Come On Over has been surpassed as the best-selling album of the Nielsen SoundScan era. Metallica's self-titled 1991 album has moved into the top spot, slipping past Twain's 1997 effort.
Metallica has now sold 15,490,000 copies, putting it at number one on Nielsen's release-to-date chart. Come On Over has sold 15,487,000 units to date.
Come On Over remains the top-selling album by a female artist. It spawned 12 singles, including "You're Still The One" and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman."
Twain hasn't released a studio album since Up! in 2002.
She has hinted that a new album could be in the works, though in January a spokesperson said that there was no album coming out soon. Twain is set to carry the Olympic torch for the 2010 games. The torch will go through her home town of Timmins on January 1.
