Shania Twain has suffered a rare career flop with the release of her latest album.
The country music legend, 60, released her seventh studio album Little Miss Twain late last month, with the disc becoming the lowest-charting release of her career.
It debuted at a dismal No. 131 on the Billboard 200 with just 12,000 copies sold.
It's a dramatic drop from her last studio album, 2023's Queen of Me, which debuted at No. 10.
Prior to that, Twain reached No. 1 on the charts with 2002's Up! and 2017's Now.
Throughout the course of her career, Twain has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time.

In interviews to promote the project, the singer admitted that Little Miss Twain is far more personal and less commercial than her previous work.
Speaking to Billboard Canada, Twain said that the album focuses a lot on her childhood and contains, 'a lot of things that I wouldn't normally write about as a commercial songwriter'.
She also admitted that she was nervous to release the record due to its deeply personal subject matter.
'I'm full of anxiety and excitement at the response but even if you find one lyric that speaks to you or makes you feel something I'll be happy,' she wrote on Instagram.
'The emotional journey on this album was a true rollercoaster and there were moments where I felt like I was sitting with my younger self while my mother looked over me. It was very painful at times, but telling some of these stories out loud was also incredibly healing, and then there was the fun and laughter,' she continued.
