I must admit I didnt think she had many fans nowadays but obviously she is
Yes there are still many many fans, she just isn't as publicised in the UK much - at all - anymore. -_-
  • Author
yeah i think thats why I didnt think she was famous becuase you never here of her in the uk but its good to see she is.

Really? That's quite on the contrary..she has quite a few fans. :)

Yes, I've done some checking based on what people type into Google, which is a worldwide figure, and at this time Enya is more popular then Kylie Mingoue ;)

:dance: :dance:

The most popular worldwide artists are all the ones big in america however.

She was mostly big in the 80's wasn't she, but I thought she had a revival with Only Time, lovely song. I have listened to a few of her albums as my dad owns most of them and she has had some enchanting songs.

I've just asked and got all these infos on the other board! ^_^
Wahey thanks again Ben. :D Much appreciated. ^_^
No problems! If I find some new info I will post it! ;)
In Brazil, Amarantine has shipped at least 70.000 copies, 55 from the original version and 15 from the christmas edition. That´s very impressive for an international act, and it had practically no exposure on the media, but it´s sales are bigger then other mainstream acts like Shakira, Christina, Beyonce, Justin, etc, in fact MUCH bigger.
