That September, the band released their sixth album, Dark Passion Play, which has sold almost 2 million copies. In May 2007, Nightwish announced Anette Olzon as Turunen's replacement. After the concert, the other members informed Turunen with an open letter that she was no longer a member of Nightwish. Her last performance with Nightwish was during a concert recorded for the live album/DVD End of an Era. 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.
