Roxette to re-enter US and UK markets; “ATAY” to be Valentine’s Day single


STOCKHOLM - Great news for American and British fans! According to EMI Sweden, there are plans to release Roxette's "A Thing About You" in both countries simultaneously in February. They intend to release the single on or just before Valentine's Day, 2003 – and to market the "Hits" albums as well.

  The Daily Roxette previously hinted at the possibility that something might happen in the US again, telling our readers recently that there was a proposal under consideration.

  That proposal, made to Capitol Records in the US, an affliate of EMI, met with a favorable response. "They're all for it," confirms Li Eriksson of EMI/Capitol Sweden.

  Americans have not enjoyed a release since the US version of the greatest hits album two years ago on the now-defunct Edel America Records label. In conjuction with the promotion for that, "Wish I Could Fly" was released, but only as a promo single for radio and TV. Meanwhile, Britain last had a record release in September 2001 with "Milk & Toast & Honey."
