“Finn 5 fel” goes platinum
Written by tevensso on June 13, 2004 to Gyllene Tider.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
Gyllene Tider’s new album, released yesterday, went double platinum - 123,000 copies - in 22 hours! Gyllene Tider comments “We are overwhelmed, happy and touched! Retouched!”
At Folk & Rock in Malmö approximately 1,000 people lined up to get their records signed. The Daily Roxette’s reporter, David Björnström was there and met the guys. There was no time for a formal interview but at least we got some nice pictures for you.
Gyllene Tider will sign at Åhlens City in Stockholm at 17:30 CET today. TDR expects a chaos, Åhlens has even told people not to bring any other records to the signing.
Update June 13th: Pictures from all the signing sessions in Halmstad, Malmö, Stockholm and Göteborg are now available on Gyllene Tider’s official website.

@Denny, sure I am!!
I’m not gonna be allowed over there, so I say we make the best of it here ;)
Marie-fan said on June 12, 2004 20:15:
Billie, I think anonymous is meaning that you say, ” U are our life”
For me it sounds sad, too.
Billie said on June 13, 2004 18:04:
@marie-fan
i know... it is saaaaaaaad...
but @ least he will remember me... i acted like a teenager i knooow it wasn’t the best way 2 act...
Jud (moderator) said on June 13, 2004 18:28:
:D you sure he will remember you? there are more than you think that act like that ;) (and don’t worry, some are around 30 :D)
Denstandigaresan said on June 13, 2004 19:01:
This turned into the ’lets taunt Billie’ thread? *Tsk*
She’s not the first to act around Per like that, and won’t be the last.
Can we get back on topic you think? :rollseyes:
purplemedusa said on June 13, 2004 20:52:
DSR... you said it girl! So Billy got a little over-excited... fantastic! Atleast she enjoyed the moment and it’s nothing Per’s not able to handle (afterall he’s been dealing with fans for 25yrs now!)
@ Billy... what did you do with the coffee?
Billie said on June 13, 2004 23:34:
@purplemedusa drank it
what else is there 2 do with it hehe... i have Gessle dna in my body (np on corect me on this plz i’d rather not know the truth about how dna works ;-) i have(had?) his saliva though in my body hehe
btw
@Anonymous & marie-fan
it was a joke just something i said i mean i he really isn’t my life... i’m not inlove with him or anything like that... (y am i defending my self???)
per_mson said on June 14, 2004 06:39:
@billie: How old are you? 15? At least you act like it! I agree with Per you should really get a life! A normal one!
Roxfever said on June 14, 2004 11:10:
What’s wrong with being a bit crazy sometimes? Billie didn’t do anything mean or insluting or whatever. It was just fun.
Billie said on June 14, 2004 17:55:
@ roxfever I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVE YOU... tnx...!!!!! the thing is i’m 21... and never met Gessle b4 and i guess i was a little CrAzY (alot) but it’s a once in a life time thing 4 me... hehe
so i don’t care what people think...
i’m not proud but not sorry either...
Billie said on June 15, 2004 19:50:

There must be a bug in the coding...
I was locked in this time, but it was “Anonymous” again.
Roxfever said on June 15, 2004 22:29:
Yes my posting above was also anynmous although i (roxfever) was logged in. Now I’m logged in, too, we‘ll see what happens...
@Lennon,I totally agree with you. There’s nothing to add. I can only speak for myself.... as you said you become “euphoric then you really feel alive, like a little child, and that’s great!” Exactly, it’s this feeling of pure happyness, joy,... like a child. This doesn’t have to mean that you behave in a childish way. You just enjoy the situation but when it’s over you have to come back to real life. If you don’t, you have a serious problem, if you do, fine. ;-)
