Yes, Shania has sold more albums, but her peak was around the times when album sales peaked. She reached higher peaks but Taylor was more consistent.

Shania and Dolly are the only 2 country girls having smash hits on both halfs of the West: Anglosphere and non-English-speaking Europe.

Taylor is barely noticed in Europe, her peak was like bubbling under with Charli XCX, Marina,...

If you ask Europeans to name 3 country artists, you would get:

Shania Twain
Dolly Parton, Jolene covers.
Maybe Johnny Cash, his cover of Hurt is covered by many others.

Shania is very popular in Latin America. You're Still the One still gets played a lot in radio stations here while Taylor's music started to be popular during her 1989 release.
