Here is where Brightman's star would shine brightest. The single Time to Say Goodbye sold 3 million copies worldwide in 1997 and stayed in the Billboard charts for 35 weeks. The album sold more copies in Taiwan than any other country in the world, reaching platinum status 10 times over. She earned a Golden Melody Award the next year for most records sold in Taiwan. The album was released in the US with the same title as its hit single.
Brightman would cement her position as the world's most popular opera diva with this 2001 release, which pulls together her favorite songs from previous albums Eden and La Luna. She also re-recorded the hugely popular Pie Jesu as well as Nessun Dorma and O Mio Babbino Caro. Despite all the Latin, it's been widely regarded as her best album to date.
