i think it’s fair to say that roxette’s become a bit of an underground following. i’ve come across loads of people who like them. with the way the music scene has progressed/digressed, i think any worthy band is pushed to the side, and then develops a sturdy following in the undercurrent of the music industry. just a random thought.......
any thoughts us roxers?
cheers
with this being said......i think the SOAP album(*fingers crossed* us release) or any future roxette will do well as long as the word gets out about it!!!

good point klair! i get the same thing people don’t realize who their listening too. i’m glad to hear this isn’t an isolated US thing. the UK is quite a hub for the european music scene.....you’d think it would be a little more artist friendly.....
cheers

I like things that have an underground following, I don’t like it when they get too popular - somehow it takes the fun away. I feel like this at the moment about the Rasmus - its less fun now that everyone knows them here in the UK.
My experience is that alot of people don’t realize that they know Rox songs...when I play them they always go “oooh, I know that one - I didn’t know it was Roxette” I find that quite amusing.
I would prefer it if they had a few more releases in the UK, but I would still want them to be a bit less popular, as the fans that they have at the moment have been around a long time, are very dedicated & fun, and I like it like that.
