Like I said, music fans interested enough to post on music boards would know this.
Time though is the enemy. Those not posting on music boards, anxiously awaiting new music, likely will move on, given enough time.
Music board fans won't be enough to push an album to 5 million or whatever
2002 was the last album of new material (7 years ago) - no new album in sight

It isn't just Shania either, any artist stepping out of the spotlight for a long period of time and then returing to promote a new album, encouters this.

I agree about any artist stepping out of the spotlight for a while, they need to build themselves back up after.
Time will tell for this one, but I'm not worried. She's disappeared before and it didn't really do any damage to her career.

Yeah, Shania has nothing to worry about. Her fan base is fiercely loyal, even despite the amount of time that passes in between each of her albums. She'll be fine.

If Shanias material is good shell be fine. Im sure she and her management will pull out all the stops.
Shes gorgeous, puts out great music (except her last two singles), does good videos, her tours attract MANY; I dont think shell have any problem, Im sure her fans will especially want to support her after what happened, but obviously the single/material has to be good. But if it is, radio will smash her once shes back and shell be back on top again! :)

There's no official news about a new cd, but Shania is still getting some press. She has been on the cover of two magazines recently. Here are the details: "First" MagazineShania was on the cover of the March 30, 2009 issue of "FIRST" magazine. These are Scans of the cover + the article... "FIRST" Cover - March 30, 2009Shania Twain "First" article - Page 1Shania Twain "First" article - Page 2Source: Shania's Place "HELLO!" Canada MagazineIn more current news, Shania is currently on the cover of "HELLO!" Canada magazine. She is on the cover of Issue # 129 that hit newsstands on May 7, 2009. Here is the cover and some details about the issue: HELLO! Canada names country superstar Shania Twain the Most Beautiful Woman on its 50 Most Beautiful Canadians list. Click through our gallery and pick up the latest issue when it hits newsstands starting Thursday, May 7, 2009 HELLO! Canada celebrates the country's 50 Most Beautiful People, with Shania Twain topping the list2009-05-06 Click here to see a clip of editor-in-chief Ciara Hunt talking about the latest issue on BTHELLO! Canada names pop-country singing sensation Shania Twain Canada's Most Beautiful Woman. "I don't think I'm ugly, I just think I'm overrated on the cutie factor," she says. But like her famous song, the 43-year-old stunner reveals feeling good is the key to keeping gorgeous: "I like to feel like a woman". The newly single mother-of-one carries her beauty from the inside out, the kind women warm to and men simply can't help admiring. "A happy heart comes first, then the happy face," explains the five-time Grammy winner. After a chance encounter with the songstress - who comes from humble beginnings in Timmins, Ontario - in France, SexyBack singer Justin Timberlake dubbed her "one hot little number". She credits a raw-food diet and daily meditation as two of her best-kept secrets, while most importantly maintaining a healthy attitude. Meanwhile, playing the role of hunky counter terrorist agent Jack Bauer on 24 has made Kiefer Sutherland a sex symbol. "I got into it for the girls," the 42-year-old admits when asked what first attracted him to acting in an exclusive interview with HELLO! Canada this week. But the former eligible bachelor thanks his new model-turned-journalist love Siobhan Bonnouvrier for his newfound happiness - and it shows. "I'm really happy at this point in my life and my relationship is a large part of it," exclaims the Emmy-winning star. Exuding the confidence only a new romance can bloom, it is no surprise the Toronto-raised actor's tough-guy charm and chiselled good looks have landed him on HELLO! Canada's 50 Most Beautiful Canadians list. Click through our gallery to see who else topped the list and be sure to pick up a copy of Issue 129 when it hits newsstands, starting Thursday, May 7.

She still looks astounding. I still can't believe she's in her 40s. She looks at least 10 years younger.

The following new message was posted yesterday (Friday, June 12, 2009) on the Official Shania Twain Site. It is a long message from Shania. Here it is: Dear Friends, I am so excited to be writing to you personally again after so long. First I want to apologize for the delay in releasing new music. Music is the basis of our relationship, after all, and I realize I'm not holding up very well on my end of the relationship! But music has a mind of it's own, and is ruled by a writer's emotions and state of mind, not by a time frame or wishful thinking. I wish like crazy that I had new music by now since I dream of how fun it would be to see you all again out on tour with new songs to sing, but as most of you know, I have been side-tracked slightly over this past year. The personal issues that took place just over a year ago have been well documented, and there’s no need to go into more detail here. Since then, I've been inspired by my pain to write and use writing as a therapy through the suffering. I truly wouldn't wish this on anybody as a means to get inspired, but it's been a productive period with so much emotion trying to find it's way out. However, there is no telling how long it will take me to actually finish these songs and record them so they can get out to you. As many things as there have been to write about through this difficult time in my life, healing is serious business and has taken a lot of the wind out of my sails, slowing me down at times. As you know, I am a mom and all my energy goes to making sure my little man is healthy and happy in every way. This is a full time job, as any parent understands, but especially difficult when you are battling your own personal crisis at the same time while trying to spare your child of being affected by your own suffering. One time when I was having a weak moment listening to some sad music and sobbing and slobbering over my computer’s keyboard, Eja walked up behind me and asked me why I was crying. He wasn't sad at first--just totally surprised to see his mom crying (he is seven and never saw me cry before), and didn't know what to make of it. During this intense period, I was managing to hide my devastation from Eja and cried only when I was alone; but this one time was just too hard for me to control and I broke down. I was quick on my feet to answer him though and told Eja that music was very powerful and can make people quite emotional. It can make you want to dance, feel angry, happy or sad and that THIS this song was sad and made me cry. He accepted this, hugged me and went back to what he was doing. Phew, that was tough! The energy it has taken me to deal with my personal life and managing to still be a responsible parent has been challenging, and while I have been putting what energy I have left at the end of each day into my writing, it's been hard to put it all together into song format. Please be patient and I will do my best to continue working on a finished album! Each morning I put my son on the school bus, feed our two dogs Sony and Dolly, drink my orange juice and sit down at the computer to write. I spend most of my time working with lyrics right now, sorting thoughts, expressions and concepts. It often comes out in the form of poetry, diary notes or e-mails to friends. My friends are great listeners and are very patient and generous about it. I often go back to my e-mails for song ideas. When I write in letter form, I don't hold back. I just write it as it comes without considering format, topic, manners, etc. Some of my best songwriting ideas are coming this way. Time has a way of making everything right, and it is my hope that good music will eventually come out of it. I say "good music” since I don't want to just throw anything at you, just for the sake of hurrying up to get it out. I want my new music to be something I'm personally satisfied with and proud to share with you. I have friends and family around constantly coaxing me to focus on my music. "Your fans miss you. They want new music. It's been too long." They're all dying for something new too, so they are pretty relentless about it! I know you certainly all do deserve new music and tour dates; not only because it's been so long, but also because of the HUGE support you've all given me during this period. The many blogs and e-mails have warmed my heart, strengthened my confidence, given me courage, and have often even made me laugh out loud…in a good way! I know I am not alone and realize through your support that you are all routing for Eja and I, and our well-being. Thank you! The other day I started writing a few pages about being hungry as a kid. Some of it was painful to think about but it also made me laugh at the funny times. Reflecting on that period of my life, I realize how true it really is to learn to take the good with the bad. To appreciate that you can't have one without the other. The trick is to give the "good" at least as much of your energy as the "bad" and not to get stuck focussing more on the "bad". I decided to start writing about other stages of my life to help take my focus off the current phase I'm going through. When I'm feeling down, I figured changing my focus to write about other periods of my PAST would help pull me out of the sadness and on to new chapters in my life. It works. I will sign off now but I look forward to my next letter/blog to you. I just wanted to fill you in a bit on what's going on with me and music, as well as extend my thanks for all of the support that you have given me over this last year and for all these years; and to assure you that I'm fine and managing very well, in fact. I'm enjoying my child, friends and family like I haven't in years, and it's great. I've been experiencing and seeing new things every day, living life with a different and more optimistic attitude. I've jumped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet, I'm riding Spanish and Arabian horses, traveling to exotic places, I've been deep sea diving for the first time! I pull the odd all-nighter, read more books, listen to Eja's favourite music with him, LOUD [ironically his favourite band is ACDC] and basically I'm enjoying life. Till next time, my friends. Be well, and peace and happiness to all of you. Love, Shania Official Site: A Personal Message from Shania Twain

Selfish cow. We don't want to hear about how horrid your life has been. I'd like to see her stuck waiting a decade for her favourite artist to release some new material--then she'd really feel some hurt. So what has she done for the last few years? Sat crying at her keyboard all day?? Lazy, selfish cow!

I think you need to change the title of this thread. Based on Shania's message above, it sure doesn't sound like we'll be getting a new album from her in 2009.

I like several of her songs, and wanted to hear a new album for a long time, but I wonder if now it's too little too late? Unless she reinvents herself into something new, I don't see her making a big impact at all. Her fans must have moved on already, and if she's more pop than country, then country radio won't bother, pop radio won't play her because she's too old...

I love Shania. But I feel that she's a bit lost in what to do with her music career. Lange was a ESSENTIAL part of her success since her first multi million seller CD "TWIM" , but now that they are separated is very unlikely that both will work together again.
She'll have to reinvent herself and know how to work with a new producer and decide in which direction she wants to go with her sound. And it seems that she's not sure yet of what to do.

It isn't just Shania either, any artist stepping out of the spotlight for a long period of time and then returing to promote a new album, encouters this. Actually releasing albums more frequently gives you lower average sales, because of diminishing returns Several years in between albums for major acts builds anticipation among all fans and leads to higher average sales, until that act's career ultimately slows down. Think Michael Jackson vs. Prince... MJ's Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous each had 4+ years between them and are 7x Platinum, 28x Platinum, 8x Platinum, and 7x Platinum respectively. Prince had released far more albums as he put them out much quicker and still to this day he only has one album that has topped 7x Platinum.

^^ I agree. Even if every single of her new album flops , a november release with lots of promotion on mags and TV would be enough for this material to EASILY sell 2 million copies in the US alone. Her fan base may have met new artists in all those years she was absent, but I doubt they completely forgot her, adults tend to be more loyal to their fave artists than teens.

Shania: Gone but not forgottenJun 26, 2009 04:30 AM There's a lot that Taylor Swift appreciates about Shania Twain, the woman she cites as her main influence: her albums, her live show and all that she's done for country music. But Twain's graceful departure from the spotlight may have had the most indelible impact on Swift. "I loved watching her when she was touring and when she put out Come on Over, but when I really gained respect was seeing her go away and seeing how she never left people's minds," Swift said in a conference call yesterday. "Shania's absolutely my favourite because she's so memorable. I'm always just gonna be so, so in love with what she's done for country music. You know, as far as any other artist, when you leave a genre and leave the music industry for that long, people would forget you – but not Shania. No one ever forgot her." Though the Timmins, Ont., native hasn't put out an album since 2002's Up!, Twain still casts an inimitable shadow over country music, says Swift. "Every single award show it was, `Where's Shania? When's she gonna come back? When's she gonna put out something new?'" said Swift. "The fact that she's so memorable means she's done such an incredible job at really implementing herself in country music to where she's never, ever gonna be gone. And I love that." Swift, 19, is in the midst of her first headlining tour, which will visit Calgary, Edmonton, Craven, Sask., and Winnipeg next month. The Canadian PressThe Star

I see her following Dido's destiny. Her albums were multiplatinum like Twain's, she had anticipations, and crap-loads of fans, yet she's just had one of the biggest bombs in history. In some circumstances there's just no return.

She's already pissed many off with her "woe is me" attitude. For being such a miserable cow, I think I'll pirate her next era. Bitch deserves it.
