Shania's third album Come on Over is the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist, and the seventh biggest selling album in music history.

The biggest selling female album of all time (as of Dec. 2006) is "Come On Over" by Shania Twain with 20 million albums sold. Next in line is "The Bodyguard" Soundtrack by Whitney Houston with 17 million albums sold then "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis Morisette with 16 million.
If you consider Fleetwood Mac a "female album" then they would be in second place with Rumors at 19 million albums sold.

Houston is one of pop music's highest selling artists, having sold over 150 million albums and 50 million singles, as of 2007.[3]
In 1997, Twain released her follow-up album, Come on Over. This was the album that established Twain as a successful crossover artist. Selling 172,000 copies out of the gate, the album was seen by many at first as a disappointment, given the massive success of her last effort. But slowly, the album started racking up sales. It never hit the top spot, but with the multi-chart hit single "You're Still the One", sales skyrocketed. Songs like "Don't Be Stupid", "Honey, I'm Home", "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "From This Moment On" joined the 12 songs that eventually saw release as singles. Over the next two years, the album stayed on the charts, spinning off hit after hit. When the dust finally settled, Come on Over had sold 20 million copies in the United States and 39 million worldwide, making it the biggest-selling album of all time by a female artist, the biggest-selling country album of all time and the No. 7 selling album of all time.
