Source: Tarja Turunen discography

This is the solo discography of Finnish singer Tarja Turunen, who rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of symphonic metal band Nightwish, which she founded in 1996 and was dismissed from in 2005 after releasing five studio albums, three live albums and one EP between 1997 and 2004 (for further information see Nightwish discography).
In 2004 Tarja had already released an independent single, "Yhden enkelin unelma, and played a few headlining Christmas shows in Europe in late 2005, thus officially launching her solo career in 2006 with a Christmas album called Henkäys ikuisuudesta, followed in 2007 by her first rock album, My Winter Storm, accompanied by the "I Walk Alone" single, a minor hit in Europe. Since then, she's been keeping a steady routine of albums production and touring, not only as a solo rock artist, with a total of five rock albums so far (the most recent being In the Raw in 2019), but also venturing into diverse styles as classical music territory, which is her official music formation, also often putting out albums and playing live tours regarding Christmas celebrations. (see Ave Maria – En Plein Air from 2015 and Score for a Dark Christmas from 2017 as examples).
On 2 December 2022, Tarja released her first compilation album, Best of: Living the Dream in many formats to celebrate her 15-year solo career. She later announced the beginning of The Greatest Hits Tour in support of the compilation album, starting in the United States, with further dates already scheduled into early 2025. On 23 June 2023, Tarja and EDM producer Torsten Stenzel released their self-titled debut studio project under the moniker of Outlanders, mixing rock, electronic and several other music styles, with songs and official videos for each track made available on Spotify and YouTube throughout the year, a project that had been in the making since 2010. Turunen released Dark Christmas in 2023 and the song "Left on Mars" with Marko Hietala in 2024.
As of September 2024, Turunen has put out ten studio albums, eight live albums, five EPs and fifty lead and promotional singles.
