Terri Clark is the first album by Canadian country music artist Terri Clark. It was released on August 8, 1995, via Mercury Nashville. Clark signed with Mercury in 1994 after meeting with label executive Keith Stegall.[2] Recording took place in studios across Nashville. Clark wrote or co-wrote all but one song on the album.
Four singles came from the album. "Better Things to Do" was released in July 1995 and proved to be a hit, reaching number 3 on both the US and Canadian country charts. Follow-ups "When Boy Meets Girl" and "If I Were You" were also successful, with the latter becoming Clark's first number one single on the RPM Country Tracks chart. A fourth single, "Suddenly Single", was a minor chart success.
The album topped the Heatseekers Albums chart while also reaching number 13 on the US Top Country Albums chart and number 2 on the Canadian RPM Country Albums chart. Terri Clark has gone on to be certified Platinum in the United States by the RIAA and 3× Platinum in Canada by the CRIA.
