Posted on Monday, August 14 @ 01:06:49 UTC by nightowl

Definitely a treat, Century Media Records has scheduled Oct. 31 for the North American release of Nightwish Highest Hopes - The Best Of Nightwish. Originally released in Europe by Spinefarm Records, the collection spans the band's recording career. Certified double platinum in Finland Highest Hopes debuted #1 on the Finnish charts, and in the top 25 across Europe. In 2005 the album helped to secure Nightwish The 2005 Best Finnish Artist award and the award for the top-selling Finnish album of 2005.

Making their domestic premiere are songs "Walking In The Air," "Deep Silent Complete," "Sleeping Sun" and "Ever Dream," heretofore only available on hard-to-find and limited import singles for North American fans. The collection also includes the first and second singles from the Once album. "Nemo," the first single debuted at #1 on the German charts, stayed in the U.K. charts for more than a year, received the "2004 Best Song" award from Germany's Rockantenne and helped propel the band's 2004 album Once to triple platinum in Finland, platinum status in Germany and Gold in Greece and Sweden. The second single, "Wish I Had An Angel," debuted in both the Finnish and German charts at #1 and appeared in the soundtrack for the movie Alone In The Dark. Whether you have been following the band since their debut release, Angels Fall First, or have been working your way back from 2004's Once this collection brings together their best.
