About
"Once" is the fifth studio album by the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released on 7 June 2004 by Spinefarm Records in Finland and by Nuclear Blast in the rest of Europe. It is the fifth and final Nightwish album to feature Tarja Turunen as lead vocalist. The production budget for the album was approximately €250,000, rising to about €1,000,000 when including the associated music video, making it the most expensive recording produced in Finland at the time. This record was later surpassed by the band’s subsequent album, "Dark Passion Play", which had a production cost exceeding €500,000. As of 2013, "Once" had sold approximately 2.3 million copies worldwide, making it the band’s most commercially successful album to that date.
