Celtic Woman is how I found Hayley,every one I've told about her feel the same way when they hear her sing. Sure doesn't hurt that she's so sweet.
Her tour with CW here will let a lot more people hear her sing, and you know what happens when they do. Hopefully when she talks to Bush about Climate warming something will go to print.

I thought it would be interesting to do an update on Celtic Woman and all the individual members, in the US charts. There are a lot of their albums in the various charts this week - the new charts - and one or two surprises too! Information courtesy of www.billboard.biz. Billboard 20023 A New Journey, Celtic Woman (highest #4, weeks 8) 72 Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman (highest #53, weeks 87) none Celtic Treasure, Hayley Westenra (highest #184, weeks 1) Classical Crossover Chart4 Celtic Treasure, Hayley Westenra (highest #3, weeks 2) 10 Walking In The Air, Chloe (highest #9, weeks 63) 18 Odyssey, Hayley Westenra (highest #3, weeks 73) Top World Albums ('World' Music)1 A New Journey, Celtic Woman (highest #1, weeks 8) 2 Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman (highest #1, weeks 108) 4 Celtic Treasure, Hayley Westenra (highest #4, weeks 2) 11 Walking In The Air, Chloe (highest #4, weeks 30) 12 Lisa, Lisa (highest #5, weeks 18) 13 Raining Up, Mairead (highest #12, weeks 6) none The Water Is Wide, Orla (highest #9, weeks 6) none A Celtic Journey, Meav (highest #7, weeks 4) Top Music Video (mostly DVD)2 A New Journey: Live At Slane Castle, Ireland - Celtic Woman (highest #1, weeks 8) 8 Celtic Woman - Celtic Woman (highest #7, weeks 48) Celtic Woman CD has sold 984,000 copies to date. A New Journey CD has sold 287,000 copies to date. All the other sales, I estimate, must range from a few thousand to the tens of thousands (Hayley - I don't know if Odyssey reached 100,000 or not - then Chloe). So Hayley is in the World Music Charts as well now  and nearly half of it is taken up by Celtic woman and their members! Note that although Hayley dropped out of the Billboard 200, she went up by two places in the World Albums Chart to almost make it a Celtic Woman top 3 so she must be just outside the Billboard 200. Not a lot of people know this...  Cheers, Dave Edit - I've added the Music Video chart details  |

Thanks very much for that, Dave. I didn't even know there was a Top World Albums chart.  Fantastic result for Celtic Woman individually and collectively. Roger |
