Celtic Woman: Destiny is the tenth studio album by the group Celtic Woman. This is Celtic Woman's first album to feature their newest members Mairead Carlin and Éabha McMahon.
Destiny opened at No. 1 on the Billboard World Music chart, Celtic Woman's ninth consecutive album to debut at No. 1. The album spent a total of 11 weeks at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard World Music chart and remained in the chart's top 10 list for 37 consecutive weeks. The album reached No. 60 on the US Billboard 200 chart.[1][2][3]
Destiny features vocalists Susan McFadden, Mairead Carlin, Éabha McMahon, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt, with former member Méav Ní Mhaolchatha and Rebecca Winckworth as a guest.
Tara McNeill, who would later become a principal performer in Celtic Woman, performed the harp in the Destiny DVD and PBS TV special as part of the orchestra.[4][5] When PBS transmitted its video of the Destiny show, a cloaked woman (Dublin-based Irish actor, film maker, dancer and part-time model Sophie Merry) appeared in the titles sequence and the sequences that framed the pledge breaks.
