I think she’d be more proud being recognized as a good singer than as a ’queen’. A queen can be anything, even a drag-queen...
This kind of queen/diva stuff freaks me out.

Holy shit! I didn’t see that coming. Beautiful song, but to debut in the same week as Metallica - and beat them out - is pretty impressive!

The melody of this song is so strong and beautiful. I have had it in my head for the past week (even after hearing it only a couple of times)
Congratulations Marie!

CONGRATS Marie!!!
I just knew that this song would do great. Great movie - great song. Let’s hope it will stay on nr. 1 for a little while....

Seems I was wrong when I thought this song was going to flop! Must admit, it’s grown on my a lot over the last week or so!
Great stuff for Marie!
Congrats!

But there is no “physical” single to buy, is it?
So it’s only the download-clicks that made it rise?
Not bad!

Great news, which reminds me i need to order my copy! Does anyone know why the single hasnt been released through EMI? Is she not under contract to them anymore?
Parlophone said on August 29, 2008 15:35:
I think it’s released by Bonnier because they have the rights for that song and are also releasing the whole soundtrack of “Arn - Riket vid vägens slut”. So therefore the release has nothing to do with any EMI contracts that Marie might or might not have. That would be my explanation.

There is also available the official video-clip for the song at:

And also a tv-report about the song, in which you can see Marie with Niklas, one of the composers of the song. By the way, I must admit Marie looks wonderful...this is when she appears healthier for me:

I would like to recall a big Roxette fan who died in the tragic aeroplane accident in Barajas Madrid. He was Jorge Sangrador. He always loved Marie and Roxette. And I´m sure he would keep listening to them wherever he´s also now. RIP.

I am so proud that Marie’s voice is finally recognized as No.1.Does this chart indicate the sales figures or is it a vote? I hope sales, because I have ordered 5 copies of my own.
crashroxer said on August 30, 2008 21:15:
Yes...that’s really great!! And it IS a great song ;-)

From http://www.hitlistan.se/netdata/ghl002.mbr/newchart2006
Den 26:e september 2006 publicerades den sista separata listan för digitalt nedladdade singlar (Download) och den 5 oktober 2006 publicerades den första sammanslagna singellistan. Den nya singellistan är baserad på försäljning av singlar på CD-skiva, Internet och via mobilen och den behåller namnet Veckolista Singlar.
It basically says that since 2006 the singles chart in Sweden is based on sales & downloads.

Just came home from the theater, and I have to say Marie’s song is the best part of the movie... :P

I remember a movie called “Super Mario Bros.” where a Song called “Almost Unreal” appeared at the the end of the movie was the best part of the whole thing!! History repeating it seems!
