As previously reported, ex-NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen new single, 'You Would Have Loved This', recently entered the Finnish charts at #5. The following update has been issued by Turunen's camp:

"Spinefarm Records’ sub label Passion, after having sold out the initial pressing of 1,000 units of the single making it the highest entry of the week in the Top 5 of the national charts, decided not to make a new pressing for it due to the fact that the album was released yesterday.

The demand from the retailers was big to get more singles in stores and thus the single would have climbed in the charts, but a re-run was not considered. The previous single 'Yhden Enkelin Unelma' was # 1 for several weeks achieving platinum sales award with more than 10,000 units sold.

This week new chart position for 'You Would Have Loved This' dropped to # 16 and most likely the few remaining units in some shops wouldn’t be enough to keep it in the charts for another week. So, 'You Would Have Loved This' will become a collectors’ item for the die-hard fans that run to the stores in Finland to buy it in the only week when it was officially released. It will remain available in the web shop of tarjaturunen.com, in Argentina and during the forthcoming Christmas tour for those fans still willing to have the single in a physical form.

Digital downloads of the song will continue at download.netanttila.com, musiikkilataamo.hs.fi and www.itunes.com.

The single contained a radio version of the song 'You Would Have Loved This' different from the one available in the album Henkäys Ikuisuudesta. It also had a very soft version of the Howard Blake’s classic 'Walking In The Air', radically different from the album version.

So, if you were thinking to buy Tarja’s Christmas album and you still didn’t, hurry up..."

As previously reported, Henkäys Ikuisuudesta (Breath From Heaven), was released on November 8th in Finland and Argentina.

A new video interview (in Finnish, with English subtitles) with Turunen about the Christmas album can be viewed at this location.
