Title: Ranking all the Celtic Woman member line-ups on studio albums/concert specials
Post by: GG on July 26, 2021, 12:41:51 PM
From the self-titled debut through to Ancient Land, here's my ranking of all the Celtic Woman member line-ups there has been so far:
(Please note that I do not hate any of these line-ups – in fact, I love them all – I just found some to be better over others. Also, these line-ups only count if they're part of an original studio album or concert special that has been officially released by the group.)

1. Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Máiréad Nesbitt, Alex Sharpe, Lynn Hilary (Songs from the Heart)
2. Chloë Agnew, Máiréad Nesbitt, Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden (Emerald)
3. Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Órla Fallon, Máiréad Nesbitt, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Hayley Westenra (A New Journey)
4. Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Órla Fallon, Máiréad Nesbitt, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha (Celtic Woman / A Christmas Celebration)
5. Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Máiréad Nesbitt, Lisa Lambe (Believe)
6. Máiréad Nesbitt, Susan McFadden, Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon (Destiny)
7. Susan McFadden, Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon, Tara McNeill (Voices of Angels / Homecoming)
8. Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon, Tara McNeill, Megan Walsh (Ancient Land)

Very interesting question - my personal ranking (and echoing that they are all good!!) would be:

1. Songs from the Heart
2. Believe
3. A New Journey
4. Ancient land
5. Destiny
6. Celtic Woman/ Christmas Celebration
7. Voices of Angels / Homecoming
8. Emerald

In all honesty, though, this ranking is as much or more about the content and staging of the particular shows/ albums as about who was in the relevant line-ups
