Marie's compilation album "Äntligen [Bästa 1984-2000]" has now been on the Swedish album chart's Top 10 for 12 weeks. The album has sold double platinum in Sweden and 160,000 copies altogether.

"Unbelievable," says Marie. "I do still have many of my old fans, so I thought the album would sell well. But double platinum…"

This summer Marie won't have time to rest. The rehearsals for her summer tour started yesterday, today she'll be on Allsång and the 19-concert tour will begin on July 12. "It's going to be exciting. And it's nice that [the tour] is so intensive, and one can focus on one thing for a short period of time." (Thanks to efvorna)
