Enya - Crap/Not Crap?

[skyscraper101]

Also, sorry to be pedantic but this is a list of wealthy British women, yes? Enya is Irish...

The article aknowledges this. Adele is richest UK female artist, but if you include Ireland then Enya comes out richer.

No offence intended. Sorry if it came over as dismissive. I was just trying to make a point out demographics and income share from CD vs digital.

You're grand - I just prefer hard copy than digital and come to think of it; as much as I'm fond of Enya - I don't think we have a copy of any of her stuff. But we did get a loan of a greatest hits comp. and played it whilst driving around Yakushima. It really worked in that environment.

I can only presume Enya has a significant generation of middle-aged types who still buy CDs and she has a pretty favourable record contract - or has her own label by now or whatever. I mean she doesn't even tour, and I can't recall much of her music being licensed for film/TV for sync royalties (unless I'm hugely mistaken).

She is surely an anomaly in the world of music. Stupendously rich, non-touring, reclusive, only one or two top 10 singles and barely any mainstream success besides Orinoco Flow. I almost admire her.

I recall being told back in the early 2000s that she's done quite a bit of sound-tracking for films and TV under various noms de plumes.

She was on some Japanese music panel show the other week, seriously discussing music, and she performed her new song.
