Enya’s Popular Song Rankings [2026]

BoadiceaEnya31rank/position

Boadicea (2009 Remaster)

Enya, an artist who is extremely popular in Japan as well.

As I mentioned at the beginning, chillout music isn’t actually about putting you to sleep.

While many of her pieces are the sleepy kind, “Boadicea” is an exception.

It’s a strikingly dark track that differs from the style we usually associate with Enya.

Its structure makes it perfect as chillout music for boosting concentration, so if you’re studying or working late, be sure to give it a listen.

Enya – Only If (Official Video)

This commercial features Mao Inoue introducing the sentiment behind Mizuho Group’s slogan, “One Mizuho.” That sentiment is said to be “becoming number one for our customers” and “uniting as one group.” Dressed in outfits that match the brand’s image color, the ad effectively conveys the group’s slogan and concept.

For the background music, they selected Enya’s “Only If,” which is also used in other Mizuho commercials.

Its beautiful strings, vocals, and flowing melody lend an air of elegance and make you feel refreshed as you listen.

The Memory Of TreesEnya33rank/position

Enya – The Memory Of Trees (Original Version) HD

Enya is famous for not having clear lyrics, yet this stunningly beautiful melody even feels like it carries a message.

In particular, this song moves me with the beauty of its overlapping choruses, to the point that it feels like listening inside a church.

It’s a refreshing, uplifting piece that cleanses the heart and makes you feel ready to move forward again.

We Wish You A Merry ChristmasEnya34rank/position

Enya – We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Lyric Video)

Since it’s a traditional piece well known as a choral work, many of you have probably heard it before.

This time, because Enya has covered it and shaped it with a sense of “transparency, healing, and fantasy,” the key points of how to sing it are completely different from a standard choral version.

Enya’s charm lies in her breathy whisper voice.

Unlike the sparkling style of typical choral pieces, her understated delivery and the way she handles word endings are especially distinctive.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take a breath for each phrase, and it may be good to sing carefully while keeping a consistent head resonance.

For the phrase endings, rather than adding vibrato, letting the sound fade away smoothly will give it that whisper-voice quality—I highly recommend it.

Violet Grass ~SUMIREGUSA~Enya35rank/position

Sumiregusa (Wild Violet)

A beautiful song by Irish singer-songwriter Enya was used in a VIERA commercial.

Celebrating the stillness of nature and the harmony of the soul, this piece deeply moves its listeners.

Released as a single in Japan in September 2005, it was featured as part of Panasonic’s television advertising campaign.

This work, in which Enya sang in Japanese for the first time, was inspired by the haiku of Matsuo Basho and exquisitely blends Japanese and Irish sensibilities.

It’s a recommended track for those who value quiet meditation and communion with nature.
