Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya is the first greatest hits album by Irish singer-songwriterEnya, released on 3 November 1997 byWEA. Following her worldwide promotional tour in support of her previous albumThe 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 albumEnya (1987) toThe 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 theBillboard 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 aJapan Gold Disc Award in the Grand Prix Album category for selling over one million copies.[2][3]
