  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Irish singer and composer Enya has received various accolades in recognition of her music, primarily in the Celtic and new-age subcategories. Enya's career spans over four decades, beginning her solo career in 1982. She is the best-selling solo Irish artist—second artist only behind U2— and one of the best-selling artists of all-time.[1]

"May It Be" from the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring garnered her nominations at major ceremonies, including the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song, in 2002. Enya had won all of her nominated World Music Awards, four Grammy Awards of nine nominations, and became the most nominated Irish artist in history at the Brit Awards.[2] In 2007, Enya was honored by Ulster University with a honorary Doctor of Letters degree and by University of Galway with a honorary Doctor of Music degree. Enya's latest award was announced on 20 February 2025, namely the RTÉ Choice Music Prize for Classic Irish Album. The winning album was her 1988 Watermark.[3]
