  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.

"May It Be" from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring garnered her nominations at major ceremonies, including Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song. She has won various World Music Awards, four Grammy Awards from nine nominations, and became the most nominated Irish artist at the Brit Awards history.[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.
