Nightwish
Although Nightwish have been prominent in their home country since "Angels Fall First", they did not achieve wider success until the release of the albums "Oceanborn" (1998), "Wishmaster" (2000) and "Century Child" (2002). Their 2004 album, "Once", has sold more than one million copies and was the band's breakthrough in the United States. Their biggest US hit single, "Wish I Had an Angel" (2004), received MTV airplay and was included on three US film soundtracks to promote their North American tour. The band produced three more singles and two music videos for "Once", as well as a re-recording of "Sleeping Sun" for the compilation album, "Highest Hopes: The Best of Nightwish" (2005), before Turunen's dismissal in October 2005. Her last performance with Nightwish was during a concert recorded for the live album/DVD "End of an Era". After the concert, the other members informed Turunen with an open letter that she was no longer a member of Nightwish.
