"Treasure" (titled Celtic Treasure in the United States) is the third internationally released album by Hayley Westenra, released in 2007 (see 2007 in music). The album celebrates Westenra's Irish roots by covering Irish songs like "Danny Boy" and religious classics like "Whispering Hope", while also including three new songs which Hayley has co-written.

"Treasure" became Westenra's fourth album to hit #1 on the New Zealand music charts, and her third album to debut at #1 on the New Zealand music charts, making her the most successful female album artist in the history of the Official New Zealand Music Charts [http://www.hayley-westenra-international.com/dhtml-pages/html-main/news/20060327treasure_topof_nzchart.html] . The album spent five weeks in the number 1 position on the New Zealand charts [http://charts.org.nz/showitem.asp?interpret=Hayley+Westenra&titel=Treasure&cat=a] .

"Treasure" became Westenra's second album to chart in the US and peaked within the Top 10 in the UK (it was the second highest new entry its debut week) [http://www.music-juice.com/music-news/take-that-kaiser-chiefs-move-atop-u.k.-charts.html] .
