专辑介绍：
就像她的丈夫兼制作人穆特·兰格为Def Leppard制作的专辑一样，莎妮娅·吐温的专辑旨在制作两三年的热门单曲，这意味着她的每一张重磅唱片——1995年的《我心中的女人》、1997年的《加油吧》、2002年的《向上！》——已经看起来像是最热门的唱片，因为它们充满了巨大的点击量。这使得制作一张真正的热门专辑有点困难，因为不仅材料过于熟悉，而且热门歌曲太多，很难放在一张光盘集上。令人印象深刻的是，2004年的《最伟大的一击》——沙妮娅职业生涯中发布的第一本汇编——无论是点击量还是实际长度都不吝啬。它有多达21首曲目，绕过了她职业生涯中的每一首热门曲目（包括她1993年同名首秀中的任何曲目，加上1996年的《上帝保佑孩子》和2004年的《只有当我在呼吸时才会受伤》），没有一首曲目被错过。该系列按时间倒序排列，从Up的民谣《Forever and Always》开始！然后播放热门歌曲，如《男人！我感觉像个女人！》、《That Don’t Impress Me Much》、《You’re Still the One》、《Any Man of Mine》——所有这些都是他们最熟悉的电台混音，这意味着根据歌曲的不同，流行混音与乡村混音交替出现——然后以四首新曲目结束（滑稽可笑的《双人派对》）有两个版本，一个是Sugar Ray的Mark McGrath的流行版本，另一个是Billy Currington的乡村版本）。总的来说，这是一部令人印象深刻且始终如一的作品——当然，她的热门作品可以是流畅、有光泽和愚蠢的，但它们具有感染力，令人无法抗拒的朗朗上口，制作完美，最重要的是，在数百场戏后仍然非常有趣。这不是一个直白的国家，但它从不假装是。相反，吐温和兰格从竞技场摇滚和成人当代流行音乐中挖掘出最吸引人的元素，在其中加入了90年代的流行文化参考——从糟糕的头发时代到布拉德·皮特——并发展出了一种辉煌的、超大的声音，在近十年的时间里定义了主流流行音乐和国家。而且，正如这部精彩的合集所证明的那样，沙妮娅的热门歌曲不仅定义了他们的时代，而且超越了他们，因为这部《最伟大的热门歌曲》是流行音乐所能获得的最有趣的作品。

Just like the albums her husband/producer Mutt Lange produced for Def Leppard, Shania Twain’s albums are designed to generate hit singles for two or three years, which means that each of her blockbuster records — 1995’s The Woman in Me, 1997’s Come On Over, 2002’s Up! — already seem like greatest-hits records, since they’re filled with huge hits. This makes assembling an actual greatest-hits album a little difficult, since not only is the material overly familiar, but there are so many hits that they’re difficult to fit on a single-disc collection. Impressively, 2004’s Greatest Hits — the first compilation Shania has released in her career — doesn’t skimp in either the hits or its actual length. Weighing in at a whopping 21 tracks, it has every big hit from her career, bypassing just a handful of tracks (including anything from her eponymous 1993 debut, plus “God Bless the Child” from 1996 and “It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing” from 2004), none of which are greatly missed. The collection runs in reverse chronological order, beginning with the ballad “Forever and Always” from Up! then running through hits like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” “That Don’ Impress Me Much,” “You’re Still the One,” “Any Man of Mine” — all in their most familiar radio mixes, which means pop mixes alternate with country mixes according to the song — before ending with four new tracks (the gleefully goofy “Party for Two” is featured in two versions, a pop version with Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath and a country version with Billy Currington). Taken as a whole, this is a pretty impressive and consistent body of work — sure, her hits can be slick, glossy, and silly, but they’re infectious, irresistibly catchy, impeccably crafted, and most importantly, still tremendous fun after hundreds of plays. This isn’t straight country, but it never pretends that it is. Instead, Twain and Lange poached the catchiest elements from arena rock and adult contemporary pop, peppered it with ’90s pop culture references — anything from bad hair days to Brad Pitt — and developed a glorious, supersized sound that defined mainstream pop and country for nearly a decade. And, as this wonderful collection proves, Shania’s hits not only defined their time, but transcend them, as this Greatest Hits is as fun as pop music can get.
