Enya — Only Time

A quarter-century after its release, the Irish singer's most durable single is broadly charting today, tracked across 71 country and platform charts after an 18-day absence. The song's afterlife has always run on placements: it soundtracked the Friends season-eight episode "The One Where Chandler Takes A Bath," per Songfacts, and returned to the Hot 100 in late 2013 on the back of Volvo Trucks' Van Damme "Epic Split" campaign, one of the decade's most-viewed ad spots. It also became an anthem for September 11th victims, prompting a charity re-release whose proceeds went to first responders. The layered vocals and glacial arrangement made it a fixture of the early-2000s new-age crossover — the rare top-10 US hit for an artist who releases sparingly. Its broad presence today extends that unusually long tail.
