'''''Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya''''' is the first greatest hits album by Irish singer-songwriter [[Enya]], released on 3 November 1997 by [[Warner Music Group|WEA]]. Following her worldwide promotional tour in support of her previous album ''[[The Memory of Trees]]'' (1995), Enya began selecting tracks for a compilation album in early 1997, as her recording contract with WEA permitted her to do so. The album contains songs from her debut album ''[[Enya (album)|Enya]]'' (1987) to ''The Memory of Trees'' (1995) and two new tracks, "Paint the Sky with Stars"  and "[[Only If...]]".
''Paint the Sky with Stars'' received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, reaching number 4 in the United Kingdom and number 30 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] in the United States. In the latter territory, the album continued to sell over the next eight years, reaching four million copies shipped in 2005. In Japan, it became the first non-Japanese album under the Warner label to receive a [[Japan Gold Disc Award]] in the Grand Prix Album category for selling over one million copies.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rg4EAAAAMBAJ&q=%22Paint+the+Sky+with+Stars%22&pg=RA1-PA71|magazine=Billboard|issn=0006-2510|volume=110|issue=15|date=11 April 1998|title=Global Music Pulse|first=Dominic|last=Pride|accessdate=28 August 2016}}</ref><ref name="JGDA">{{cite web|url=http://www.golddisc.jp/award/12/index.html|title=第12回日本ゴールドディスク大賞 |trans-title= Gold Disc Hall of Fame 12th|accessdate=1 February 2014}}</ref>
