For the first time since 2014, a female country artist is atop of the Billboard Hot 200 Albums sales chart as Shania Twain returns after her 15 year studio absence with Now. The album had an equivalent sales of 137,200, enough to outpace the late Tom Petty's 24 year old Greatest Hits album for #1. The last female to top the Billboard chart is Miranda Lambert with Platinum.
