STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - A new Roxette single, "A Thing About You," will be hitting the airwaves on September 9th – at least in Europe.

  The song, a classic Roxette power ballad, is almost certain to perform well on the charts. It is slated to be released as a single on October 14th and will be included in the worldwide* release this autumn of a "Roxette's Greatest Hits: The Ballads" CD.

  EMI has removed the "Don't Bore Us, Get To the Chorus" Greatest Hits album from their catalog, in order to clear the way for the new compilation album(s). Roxette's participation in the "Night of the Proms" concert series is also expected to help promote this new release.
