The album (Enya's seventh studio album), And Winter Came is released November 10th, the first single to be taken from the album is to be Trains and Winter Rains.
Although the album had started out as a Christmas project as it began to take shape a broader seasonal theme soon became apparent. "I always wanted to do a Christmas album" explains Enya "but as we began recording I didn't feel it was right to impose a Christmas theme on certain songs." There is a new version of "Oiche Chiuin" (Silent Night) on the album. Nicky Ryan describes the new rendering as 'a choir of one'. "This is something I have wanted to do since Watermark" says Nicky "In fact I had wanted to call Watermark "A choir of one." I'm really happy that we have achieved the "choir" with "Oiche Chiuin (chorale)".
Track Listing:
1. And Winter Came 2. Journey of the Angels 3. White is in the winter night 4. O come, O come, Emmanuel 5. Trains and winter rains 6. Dreams are more precious 7. Last time by moonlight 8. One toy soldier 9. Stars and midnight blue 10. The spirit of Christmas past 11. My! My! Time flies! 12. Oiche Chiuin (chorale)

Thank you for sharing the story, Thank you for being there for me, THANK YOU FOR STOPPING HIM GETTING TO NUMBER 1!
Popplastic would like to thank everyone who joined our campaign to stop Cliff and Woolworths (The Axis of Evil) from manipulating the Top 40 and pushing his latest offering to Number 1. If Cliff had succeded he would have fullfilled his ambition to have a number 1 in all of the last six decades. However mid week download figures revealed Cliff had only achieved around 50 downloads!
Thanks to everyone's efforts Cliff only made it to Number 3. Popplastic's exclusive photograph taken just after the charts aired on Radio 1 clearly reveal Cliff's revulsion on hearing the news. Last week he claimed, "Nothing can stop me now". Cliff obviously hadn't reckoned on the power of the people. Heart warming stories have hit the headlines of children combining their pocket money to buy copies of the latest Kings Of Leon CD, pensioners spending their bingo winnings on thousands of downloads of the new Pussycat Dolls single, even Gordon Brown found the time to nip out in the middle of a political crisis and buy a copy of Kate Perry'sI Kissed a Girl.
