If Roxette were to re-release one of their singles in its original form(not remixed) which one would you give another shot at chart stardom?
personally id pick Run To You which only reached #27 in UK in 1994 even tho it was massive on radio

Yeah, that got into the top 60, it deserved better! It always ends up on my start of summer complilation (its like my review of the year)

in the rest of Europe time of release was even more absurd; in the middle of January

Sleeping in My Car (in the U.S. anyway). I think I saw it on MTV once. And heard it on the radio once or twice. Re-release only with more (as in some?) promotion!!!

@tavo: that wasn’t the question ;-)
I’d re-release ’She doesn’t live here anymore’...
But indeed, ’Run to you’ would be a good option either, although I don’t know if it fits in the time where we live in nowadays...
(I would re-release one wish, with another cover.. LOL!)
japeke said on September 14, 2006 20:42:
that’s a good one!
(but also not the question, because that was: which song would you re-release in it’s original format :-P )
By the way, what do you think about ’a thing about you’? I think that it would have done much and much better with at least SOME promotion (which ofcourse was very difficult after the terrible news surrounding those days...)

Neverending Love everywhere...deserved more than it got!

“She doesn’t live here anymore”
That song really deserves a second chance, can’t be that people have heard it at all. Everyone I know loves it but no one knows it has ever been a single!

Frankly, I would be bored of hearing “It Must have Been Love” re-released considering they still play it on America radio-about 3,000,000 times!!!! If any song should come out it should be either be June Afternoon or even releasing COY due to the fact that Joyride has “hello, you fool, I love you..” not too many teenagers or even twenty-somes are going to be blaring that too loud on their car radios unless they are girls or girly boys! Sleeping In My Car is defitnely a chick song so out with that idea–“I”ll undress you...” no way, it has to be more of a universal song...

I always thought “A Thing About You” or any of the “Room Service” singles would have done well in Canada with proper promotion.
I’m not even sure if the songs or videos got any airplay over here

I’d release a new version of Opportunity Nox, with more prominent Marie vocals (or maybe a verse sung only by her). I think the song has potential, but it failed due to the lack of Marie. And the lack of promotion too, we all know the sad reasons.
It’s a sparkling song that deserved more than a #11 in Sweden...

How about Vulnerable... They already released that one 6 times :) So why not make it 7... Jep its true ! 6 times !!

I don’t want to get hurt would have been the better choice instead of “sdnlha”

Fading Like a Flower because in the UK it just got remixed so people will probably be up fior hearing the original.
