Shaman was released on October 22, 2002 (see 2002 in music) and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 with first weeks sales of 298,973. It was certified double platinum by the RIAA and sold over 5,000,000 copies worldwide.

The first single of the album was "The Game of Love", featuring Michelle Branch. "Why Don't You & I", featuring Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, was also re-recorded as a single in 2003, which featured Alex Band of The Calling.
