Cumulatively, albums from Celtic Woman have sold over 50 million records worldwide, making it one of the all-time most commercially successful musical acts in history. "Celtic Woman", which was filmed at The Helix, Dublin, Ireland on September 15th, 2004 for PBS reached #1 on Billboard's World Music Chart within weeks. The album held the #1 position on the charts for 81 weeks total, shattering the previous record held by Andrea Bocelli.
Their second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration knocked their first album to the #2 spot on the World Music Chart. They bested themselves, in essence.
"A New Journey" (December 2006) was released on January 30th, 2007, simultaneously accompanied by the live performance DVD. The album immediately hit the Billboard 200 at #4 and the Billboard World chart at #1, bumping their first two releases down a notch. Celtic Woman secured the top three spots on the Billboard World at that time, a freakish accomplishment which may never be duplicated again. All in all, the Multi-Platinum Irish sensations have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide to date.
So Fans, Show Celtic Woman Chloe Some Love!
The reason I ran the numbers for you, as it regards the group's success to date, is to motivate you a little bit. You see, the group is now extremely active on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube. In my opinion they do not have the fan support/following that they so rightfully deserve on these social networks, even though networking is a recent addition to the group's repertoire.
Chloe Agnew is the Celtic Woman I wish to focus on in this post. Chloe has a fan page on Facebook (which I am a member of) and she interacts with the fans on a daily basis. The other day I visited her page just to say "Hi", and much to my surprise, I read one of her latest entries which read...
Chloe says " going to 4000 fan, maybe 5000 soon :). "
Celtic Woman supporters, where are you? Chloe Agnew - one of the original members of the ensemble, one of the premier female vocalists in all the world, smart as a whip, and a super cool and hip girl who bubbles with personality - hopes for 5000 Facebook Fans soon. Should she really have to wish for a measly 5000 fans on her Facebook Page? I mean, a girl this successful and talented should be more worried about crashing the Facebook servers because she has so many fans! (Bear in mind though, her page is new so 5000 fans in the blink of an eye is not too shabby.)
If you are reading this post, then obviously you are a Celtic Woman fan right? Chloe is adored, I think we can all agree on that. Please show her some love and join her over at her Facebook Fan Page. Let's try to crash the servers - a couple million fans in a few months should do the trick!

I apologize for posting the photo of Chloe with her fans at a meet and greet. It has been replaced with this "Public Domain" photo of her which I obtained from Wikipedia.
I do appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I do my best to only use photos/videos which are open source but every now and then I slip up accidentally.
