(NEW YORK) - Enya's greatest-hits compilation, Paint The Sky With Stars -- The Best Of Enya, is the first non-Japanese album to top the million-sales mark for any Warner label in Japan, says Warner Music Japan.|

Billboard's Steve McClure reports that to date, the compilation has sold just over 1.1 million units (including imports) here since its Nov. 10 release, the label says. The album's domestic version included one bonus track, a version of "Silent Night," in the run-up period to Christmas (the track was cut from the album in the new year).

A Warner Music Japan spokesman says Paint The Sky With Stars is being bought by stressed-out Japanese looking for "healing" music to put them in a more relaxed frame of mind.
