"Yhden enkelin unelma" ("One Angel's Dream") is a Christmas song by Finnish singer Tarja Turunen, released as her first single in December 2004, when she was still part of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. It was also released as a limited edition extended play.
Right after the release it debuted at number 2, and ended 2004 after more three weeks at number 1;[1] it started 2005 as number 4, and reached number 1 again in December 2005, after spending 10 weeks on the official Finnish charts.[2] The single reached gold disc status in Finland with more than 7,000 copies sold.[3]
The single is sung entirely in the Finnish language, and Turunen promoted it with a mini tour holding concerts in Finland, Germany, Spain and Romania, in late 2005.[4]
