been out tonight with my other half to this pub (drinking establishment) where i rarely go & there was a disco on,to my disbelievement they played 3 roxette tunes......
fading like a flower (original)
it must’ve been love
listen to your heart
anyway that got me buzzing,i had to drag our lass up even though she’s heavily pregnant (she enjoyed it really) but it’s very rare for dj’s to play 1 roxette track never mind 3 so i took advantage & thought f*ck it,my other 5 kids love roxette so it’s no surprise my sixth kid’s going to love them.
ps-sorry to bore everybody but i just could’nt help myself

Wolvr: Where in the States?
I’ve heard The Look, IMHBL, LTYH, Joyride... and I don’t mean my collection either ;o)

chicago, illinois. actually with some new station formats that focus on playing anything, 80’s/90’s music, some other roxette songs will now be heard more often besides the usual playing of LTYH/MHBL that the “light” stations play from time to time. CHURCH OF YOUR HEART was the absolute last time i remember hearing roxette on radio or on mtv/vh1. maybe i was in a cave if they ever played HDYD! or anything since then, but my point is roxette doesn’t get any real continuous play in the states, which is not anything new, yada, yada, yada. just saying i would be in shock if i did. happy shock that is.

Yea I love when some songs are played like that, but I really don’t need that though to be happy ;)

Ha, surprise, surprise.....I live in Chicago too!!! I’m not alone:) Hey wolvrnight, are you in the city, ’cause I am, Lincoln Square( Lawrence & Western) to be more specific.
We should make a Roxette reunion! :P (Like we’ve seen each other before!?!)
Rox On!

I noticed a phenomenon here in the states. Since August the only Roxette song Ive heard—believe it or not—is The Look:
On the radio several times.
On TV when someone was talking about the fashion-sense of some TV show’s characters.
In a Wal-Mart.
In two different restaurants in different parts of the country.
In Atlanta’s AIRPORT over their p.a. system as I walked to my gate.
And perhaps the most shocking of all, a moving, DANCING GREEN FROG with a guitar on sale AT a TARGET! that played The Look in that tinny dancing stuffed toy way those things have. It even had a black shag cut like Per. . .

south burb of chicago here. evergreen park! i think we as all americans should hold a protest in washington d.c. on the front lawn of the white house and demand our ROXETTE!!! or at least demand new material from them. silly yes, but you need hope and dreams.

W, you’re very desprate :O. I wouldn’t do such a thing like that but it would be great to have a meeting since I haven’t met any fans. Take care

Not really aware where Evergreen park is but that’s what we have yahoo maps for:)
And a Rox fan meeting makes an absolute sense for me, Scotty. :)
Rox On!

And the streak is broken. . . It Must Have Been Love was played at the restaurant I ate at Sunday. And that will be it for a while I’m sure.

Yeah, IMHBL on WLIT Chicago( 93.9) yesterday right when I entered this restaurant I really like for my lunch breaks:)

not a bore. i think if i heard any song anywhere besides MHBL i would have a heart attack from pure shock. i live in the states, so i’m sure you understand. (the pain....the absolute pain of loving roxette in the usa) =(
