This whole 20th anniversary is a lot more successful than I thought it was going to be. It’s pretty good. I’ve heard Roxette on the radio everyday this week. The time I remember that was around Crash Boom Bang time!!! :-)

This is not a success. Okay, maybe in scandinavia. But in the rest Rox isn´t big!

if a roxette album enter the UK chart at 22, and the single is getting airplay then it’s big!! lol

Out of curiousity Paul - which radio stations?

Well, I know that Capital Gold have played it a few times, but my local station Island Fm, their sister station Channel 103 in Jersey, Palm FM in Devon have played it, a The Wave in Wales have played it too. I’m sure that there are others too though. I know it’s not really big stations, but it’s better than nothing

i‘ve just listened to roxette‘s latest and it‘s great that marie is back. i didn‘t know what to expect regarding the new releases and marie‘s ‘voice change‘ - all i can say is welcome back!!!!
the second new release -‘reveal‘ - is absolutely beautiful and it‘s like she‘s never been away.

In the album chart only Hammerfall is higher. Go Rox!!! But of course, if I made the list all by myself they would always be on top ;).

Nr 1 in sweden is a heavy metal group called Hammerfall. I m pretty amazed that the roxboox made it even in the charts. i cannot recall that a multi cd box ever found its way into any charts.

One Wish is no where to be seen in the singles sales and/or download charts (Norway only have list for 20 most selling songs/singles) http://www.norwegiancharts.com/weekchart.asp?cat=s Nor is One Wish to be found on this weeks 40 most played songs in radio (hit40) :-(

Great for Europe!
In Argentina, nothing happens, the promotion is completely null, this has been this way already for the last 7 years.
