Albums

Album information
Enya Released: 1987 Singles: 1987: "I Want Tomorrow" Two versions of this album were released. The original BBC Records release had a cover with a white border. Later reissued on Atlantic Records with a black-bordered cover. The contents of both versions are identical. Both albums feature an uncharacteristically glamorous cover photo of Enya wearing high heels, a black dress, and posing next to a group of stuffed wolves. (A second, similar photo appears on the back cover of the BBC release). When reissued by Warner Music under the title The Celts (see below), the original-release track entitled "Portrait" was replaced with a nearly identical (but longer and played with different instrumentation) piece of music entitled "Portrait (Out of the Blue)" which was first released as "Out of the Blue", the B-side of "Orinoco Flow". U.S.: Platinum
Watermark Released: September 1988 Singles: 1988: "Orinoco Flow" 1988: "Evening Falls..." 1989: "Storms In Africa" 1991: "Exile" The original release from WEA Records is eleven tracks long. The Reprise Records (U.S.) version is twelve tracks long with the extra track "Storms in Africa II." The track "Storms in Africa II" is a faster tempo remix of "Storms in Africa" with English lyrics replacing the original Irish ones. The release of the single "Exile" (1991) marked the use of the included tracks in the films Green Card and L.A. Story U.S.: 4× Platinum UK: 4× Platinum AUS: 5× Platinum CAN: 3× Platinum
Shepherd Moons Released: November 1991 Singles: 1991: "Caribbean Blue" 1991: "How Can I Keep from Singing?" 1992: "Book of Days" 1994: "Marble Halls" Grammy for "Best New Age Album" (1993) There are at least two versions of Shepherd Moons. The first release of 1991 featured a chant Irish version of the song "Book of Days." An English-language version of this song was subsequently used in the soundtrack of the movie Far and Away. Coinciding with that all pressings of the album -- as well as singles and collections -- from mid-1992 on include the English-language version in lieu of the original. The single "Marble Halls" marked the use in the soundtrack of the film "The Age of Innocence". The B- Side track of these single "'S Fagaim Mo Bhaile" is an apparent transliteration of "'S Fágaim Mo Bhaile". U.S.: 5× Platinum UK: 4× Platinum AUS: 3× Platinum CAN: 3× Platinum
The Celts (remastered re-release of the 1987 album Enya) Released: November 1992 Singles: 1992: "The Celts" Remastered re-release of the 1987 album Enya (see above) with contents identical to the 1987 album, except the original-release track entitled "Portrait" was replaced with an identical -- but longer -- piece of music entitled "Portrait (Out of the Blue)" which was first released as "Out of the Blue", the B-side of "Orinoco Flow". The album also includes completely different cover art and design. U.S.: Platinum UK: Platinum AUS: Platinum
The Memory of Trees Released: November 1995 Singles: 1995: "Anywhere Is" 1996: "On My Way Home" Grammy for "Best New Age Album" (1997) The single "On My Way Home" (1996) is a remix from The Memory of Trees album running at 3:36 compared with 5:08 for the album version. U.S.: 3× Platinum UK: 2× Platinum Europe: 2× Platinum AUS: 4× Platinum CAN: Platinum
Paint the Sky with Stars Released: November 11, 1997 Singles: 1997: "Only If..." (greatest hits collection with two new tracks) U.S.: 4× Platinum UK: Platinum Europe: 2× Platinum AUS: 3× Platinum
A Day Without Rain Released: November 21, 2000 Singles: 2000: "Only Time" 2001: "Wild Child" 2001: "Only Time (Remix)" Grammy for "Best New Age Album" (2002) Three versions of A Day Without Rain were released. In most countries, the album includes "The First of Autumn." The U.S. version lacks this track, while the Japanese version replaced "The First of Autumn" with "Isobella." U.S.: 7× Platinum UK: Platinum Europe: 3× Platinum AUS: 2× Platinum CAN: 8× Platinum
Amarantine Released: November 22, 2005 Singles: 2005: "Amarantine" 2006: "It's In The Rain" (Europe only) 2006: "If I Could Be Where You Are" (Japan only) 2006: "Someone Said Goodbye" (North America Only) Grammy for "Best New Age Album" (2007) This album includes no Gaelic, but three songs are written in an invented language called Loxian, described by Enya and Roma Ryan as "a futuristic language from a distant planet. This idea arose from writing "May it Be" and "Aníron" in Tolkien's Elvish languages. In November 2006, a Special Christmas Edition version of this album was released, containing a second disc with four additional Christmas-themed tracks. A special boxed edition was released, including a book by Roma Ryan about the creation of the Loxian language. U.S.: Platinum Europe: Platinum UK: Silver AUS: Platinum
And Winter Came Announced release: November 10, 2008 Singles: Trains and Winter Rains Announced on September 12, 2008 on enya.com.

In addition, a 1985 soundtrack album for The Frog Prince (also known as French Lesson) contains music composed by Enya, but not performed by her; a later CD release (1995) added two previously unreleased vocal tracks by her: "Dreams" and "The Frog Prince".

Enya's music has also appeared on several other albums. A 1983 release entitled Touch Travel included two early solo tracks, while two new songs appeared on the 2001 soundtrack album for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Although released by her label Reprise Records, they are not counted as part of her main discography canon.

Enya also contributed vocals to recordings by Clannad, Sinéad O'Connor, and others.

There have been occasional erroneous (or premature) reports of planned album releases, most recently in 2007. Prior to the release of Amarantine, rumors of a Japanese album release became so strong on the Internet that Enya's organization issued a statement on the official enya.com webite denying the reports.

A large number of Enya "tribute albums" have been released in recent years, including a series of releases by the Taliesin Orchestra. None of these albums (which primarily consist of cover versions) are affiliated with Enya.
