It's hard to believe that it's been 27 years since Shania Twain had her first number one hit with "Any Man of Mine," on this date in 1995.

I was only 6 years old at the time. I remember that period of my life so fondly. Women were dying to dress and look like Shania. And young girls like me were practicing a dance routine and sing along to her songs!

I didn’t get the big deal then, but I do now. It’s easy to see just how much of a pioneer Shania was and remains to this day. She was a force! Her shows were huge, her songs were hits, and her beauty was undeniable.

Her new documentary Not Just A Girl hits Netflix July 26th and will cover a lot of her career!

"Jeez thanks you guys 😳🥰 Here are the details... Not Just A Girl - The Documentary, coming to @netflix on July 26th. Not Just A Girl (The Highlights) album, released digitally on July 26th, with physical available September 2nd," Twain said in a recent Instagram post.

In honor of this wonderful anniversary, here are my top 5 favorite Shania Twain songs, including "Any Man of Mine":
