This whole 20th anniversary is a lot more successful than I thought it was going to be. It’s pretty good. I’ve heard Roxette on the radio everyday this week. The time I remember that was around Crash Boom Bang time!!! :-)

This is not a success. Okay, maybe in scandinavia. But in the rest Rox isn´t big!

if a roxette album enter the UK chart at 22, and the single is getting airplay then it’s big!! lol

Well, I know that Capital Gold have played it a few times, but my local station Island Fm, their sister station Channel 103 in Jersey, Palm FM in Devon have played it, a The Wave in Wales have played it too. I’m sure that there are others too though. I know it’s not really big stations, but it’s better than nothing

i‘ve just listened to roxette‘s latest and it‘s great that marie is back. i didn‘t know what to expect regarding the new releases and marie‘s ‘voice change‘ - all i can say is welcome back!!!!
the second new release -‘reveal‘ - is absolutely beautiful and it‘s like she‘s never been away.

In the album chart only Hammerfall is higher. Go Rox!!! But of course, if I made the list all by myself they would always be on top ;).

Nr 1 in sweden is a heavy metal group called Hammerfall. I m pretty amazed that the roxboox made it even in the charts. i cannot recall that a multi cd box ever found its way into any charts.

Great for Europe!
In Argentina, nothing happens, the promotion is completely null, this has been this way already for the last 7 years.
