BMI Stands Amazed at 48th Annual Country Awards
Nashville, October 3 Performing rights organization BMI staged the 48th edition of its Country Awards tonight, with superlative honors reserved for "Amazed," songwriters Al Anderson and Skip Ewing, songwriter/artists Martie Seidel and Shania Twain, and publishing giant Sony/ATV Tree. BMI Citations of Achievement were presented by President & CEO Frances W. Preston and Vice President Roger Sovine to the songwriters and publishers of the past years 50 most performed songs during a black-tie gala at the companys Music Row offices. This celebration -- the oldest awards program saluting country musics creators -- culminated in the announcements of Country Song, Songwriter, and Publisher of the Year.
Returning champ Shania Twains award-winning compositions were "Come On Over," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" and "That Dont Impress Me Much," all from the 17-times platinum Mercury release Come On Over (the best-selling album in country music history and the best-selling album ever by a female solo artist). The 1999 CMA Entertainer of the Year, who captured both BMI Country Songwriter and Song ("Youre Still The One") honors last year, was also crowned BMI Pop Songwriter of Year the past two years; she now owns 22 BMI Country and Pop Awards.

Shania was selected "Favorite Female Country Artist" in the 6th Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards held 5/9/00 in Los Angeles. The actual show will be broadcast on Fox 6/20/00. Most winners outside of the film world of LA could not attend, including Shania who is working full-time on two new albums. This is the largest fan-voted awards show, however the music "categories" were by genre only. Nominations are not fan-voted and supposedly based on retail activity, but only within the Blockbuster chain (music stores recently purchased by The Wherehouse). So for example, Shania was not even nominated in the "pop" category, which cannot be explained by actual sales criteria.
Shania was again honored as BMI Songwriter of the Year 10/3/00 at the annual BMI Country Awards. She received the inaugural Songwriter/Artist Crystal for writing three of the most performed country songs of the year: "Come On Over," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and "That Dont Impress Me Much." Shania collected both the BMI Country Songwriter and Song of the Year ("Youre Still The One") honors last year, and has been the BMI Pop Songwriter of Year the past two years. Shania has now won a total of 22 BMI Country and Pop Awards for her songwriting.
Shania won for her great clip "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" (Director: Paul Boyd, Producer: Jeff Nelson for Propaganda Films) in the "MuchMoreMusic Award" category at this year's Much Music Video Awards, held 9/21/00, at Much Music in Toronto. For fans outside of Canada, MMM is an adult oriented pop/rock/jazz channel with music video content analagous (though more inclusive) than VH1. MMM is sister network to Much Music, which is similar to MTV.
Shania was named Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year. The ACM Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles at Universal Amphitheater 5/3/00, and broadcast on CBS. Note for new fans: Shania's "Come On Over" album was not eligible for album of the year... Shania was physically unable to attend the ACM Awards on 5/3, due to her continued full-time work writing & recording her two new albums (in Europe). Thanks to the Academy members for recognizing her unique accomplishments over this past eligibility year, and to her fantastic fans for their loyal support and patience. Shania's new music is coming... See Next For Shania...
Shania earned 2 NEW Juno Awards from the CARAS: Songwriter of the Year (main category/all genres) for "That Don't Impress Me Much," "You've Got A Way," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" (Shania and R.J. Lange, songwriters) & Best Country Female Artist. The Juno Awards ceremony was split into two parts this year, 3/11 and 3/12, with the latter night's awards broadcast on CBC-TV. Shania was selected Best Country Female Artist again in the 3/11/00 ceremony.
Shania won 2 NEW Grammy Awards from the NARAS 2/23/00 (her 4th and 5th): Best Female Country Vocal Performance - "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and Best Country Song - "Come On Over" (Shania and R.J. Lange, songwriters). Notes: Shania's "Come On Over" album was not eligible this year. Shania was also nominated for the second strait year for Song of the Year (main category/all genres) - "You've Got A Way" (Shania and R.J. Lange, songwriters)... Last year she became the first "genre" artist ever to be nominated in all three major all-genre categories (Album, Record and Song: 6 noms, two wins).
Cable video channel CMT selected their Top 2000 Videos of all time (to date, through 1999). Shania dominated with four videos in the top ten: #2 "Any May of Mine," #5 "You're Still the One," #8 "(If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here!" & #10 "That Don't Impress Me Much."
Shania's "Come On Over" has been certified for "Double Diamond" for 20X Platinum/2 million units sold in Canada (1/00). Her "The Woman In Me" album was previously certified "Double Diamond" in 3/99. Shania is the first Canadian artist to achieve Double Diamond sales certifications for two consecutive albums.
Shania was voted "Favorite Female Artist (Pop/Rock)" and "Favorite Female Artist (Country)" at the 27th Annual American Music Awards. Thanks to all of you who have been touched by Shania's music and were kind enough to vote for her. Shania has admitted that she generally has no idea when she is even nominated for awards... Shania was unable to attend AMAs, or any other awards or public appearances so far this year, due to her hectic schedule (working hard on her next albums in Europe), but she she is truly grateful. AMA nominations were determined by Soundscan sales and radio airplay data (R&R), with the winners then voted on by a statistical random sample of about 20,000 music buyers nationwide (USA).
Shania was named "Favorite Female Musical Performer" at the 26th Annual "People's Choice Awards" 1/9/00. Nominations and awards are publicly voted, determined by statistically random Gallup polling. Thanks to all those who supported Shania.
Shania was selected as "Entertainer of the Year" in Radio & Records annual readers poll (prominent trade industry music publication).
Shania was named "Female Country Artist of the Year" in Playboy's 2000 reader poll, repeating her win from '99.
Shania had a great '99 thanks to the fans who discovered "Come On Over" and saw her on tour. She ranked #12 in Forbes Magazine's latest Celebrity 100 issue, a (rather nebulous) ranking of celebrities & public figures in all professional fields, in theory based on "earnings, influence and popularity."
Shania's #1 VOTED all-time favorite "Behind The Music" episode aired on VH1 2/13 at 9pm ET/PT. Thanks for your support.
Shania Milestones: After the 2000 CMA show, Shania attended the private Mercury party, where her label presented her with 3 plaques to commemorate her sales achievements: US Sales of over 17 million for Shanias "Come On Over" album; worldwide sales of over 30 million for "Come On Over" (both noted previously); and combined worldwide sales of over 50 million for her three albums - "Shania Twain," "The Woman In Me," and "Come On Over." Note that "Shania Twain" was never released internationally until 2000 in selected countries, and "The Woman In Me" was not released internationally (except in Australia two years delayed) until 2000 (import availability only). "Come On Over" was step-released internationally starting in 1998.
Shania was nominated in four catagories for the prestigious Novello Songwriting Awards. Shania's "You're Still The One" is up for Best Song (lyrics & music), and "That Don't Impress Me Much" for Most Performed Work, International Hit of the Year and Best-Selling UK Single. The Novella Awards, presented by the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters, was held in London 5/25. Editorial Note: These awards are similar to the BMI Awards in the US, where Shania has won for Song of the year (1999) and Songwriter of the Year the past two years. The winners were very deserving, but just a note to remind fans that there is an understandable UK slant for performers. Also, Shania was/is new to most industry "shirts" in the UK, and her nominated songs were very unique yet unusual lyrically: sincere, direct, and often humerously insightful - and that "connection" her music made with the public helped make her "Come On Over" album the #1 selling UK album of the year.
Shania was selected 1999 "CMA Entertainer of the Year" and received a special "International Artist Achievement" Award for her unprecedented musical contributions to the world music scene in the past year. Shania is the first woman in 13 years to win the CMA "Entertainer" Award.
Shania is CMT Canada's #1 Artist once again, with the #1 video of 1999 "That Don't Impress Me Much," her "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" at #4, and "You've Got A Way" at #14.
Shania won her second consecutive (and third overall) "Female Artist of the Year" award from CMT US, with her two great videos in the '99 Top 12, "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and "That Don't Impress Me Much."
Shania was the top winner 11/9/99 at the 1999 SOCAN Awards, which recognize the Canadian songwriters that received the most airplay in the previous year. Shania received awards for her smash hits "You're Still the One," "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)," and "From this Moment On" in the country category.
Shania's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" was voted in 2000 by VH1 (US) viewers as the #5 song by a "diva" of all time.
Shania was again recognized for her songwriting at the SOCAN Awards (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) in Toronto 11/20/00. Five of Shania's songs were awarded for most genre airplay in 1999: "From This Moment On"; Man! I Feel Like A Woman"; That Don't Impress Me Much"; You're Still The One"; and "You've Got A Way." Shania was unable to attend, as she remains in Europe recording her next album.
Editorial: PEOPLE Magazine's tedious "50 Most Beautiful People" issue is out 4/28/00, and yes Shania IS included. Some facts for the record: Shania was one of PEOPLE's "25 Most Fascinating People" of 1995. What nobody knows is that Shania WAS also selected for their "Most Beautiful" 1996 Issue, but PEOPLE broke professional ethics and inexplicably removed Shania (for "political" reasons) without ever informing her then management. Shania was apparently selling too many CDs... Since (not so) strangely ONLY Time/Warner (parent company of "People") music label artists appeared in that issue. Total scam. Now they "have" to include her... and inclusion still does not explain her omission from any "most beautiful" issue since 1995. The process is still political and silly. The issue does not merit attention yet still has to be mentioned.
Shania was named one of "US" Magazine's Top 8 sexiest female stars (5/8 issue).
Shania was named to "Ralph" Magazine's (Australian mens' lifestyle mag.) "Sexiest Women" of 2000 list, though "only" at 46 of 100. A publication that is musically challenged and has denigrated hers, so you can't expect too much.
Shania's "Come On Over" was the #10 top selling album (pop/all-genre) in Europe during 2000, a testament to both its quality and fan response (in its third year of release there). Combined with its #2 European album rank during 1999, "Come On Over" has been the top selling album over the two year span... "Come On Over" was ranked #14 in the (CNN Worldbeat) Global Top 100 albums of 2000 (in its 2nd/3rd year of release in most territories).
Shania was voted Canadian celeb with the best smile in a recent Johnson & Johnson Reach Whitening Floss survey, garnering 40% of the vote (2nd place had just 11%).
For those unaware of the nominating process, Shania is a multiple ACM winner and the reigning 2000 ACM Entertainer of the Year, but since she has not had new music out in some time, she was not eligible this year.
For those unaware of the nominating process, Shania is a 5-time Grammy winner, but since she has not had new music out in some time, she was not eligible this year... Shania's NEW album is finally coming in 2001, with her next world tour to follow.
12/1/00: Shania won the "Best International Female Vocalist Of The Year" award at the 2000 M6 Awards in France. Shania could not attend the ceremony (working full time on her new album), but she did record a thank you message in French. Clip at Shania M6 Thanks.
Shania was voted Canadian celeb with the best smile in a recent Johnson & Johnson Reach Whitening Floss survey, garnering 40% of the vote (2nd place had just 11%).
Here's a new one just for fun. Having already topped many "most beautiful & sexiest" lists for music, film & TV in recent years, Shania has now been voted "Sexiest Vegatarian Alive" by the readers of Animal Times, the magazine of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Shania's "Come On Over" was voted in 2000 as one of the "New Classics" Top 5 (all genres of music) by barnesandnoble.com. Other albums were: U2's "The Joshua Tree," Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales," Madonna's "Ray Of Light" and Andrea Bocelli's "Romanza."
