The UK-based online CD shop www.play.com has placed adverts for the new Hits CD across its website :)
They’ve also got a slightly different tracklist. What are all these GM Remasters?!
5. Dangerous (G.M. Remaster ’03)
14. Run To You (G.M. Remaster ’03)
16. Stars (G.M. Remaster ’03)
17. The Centre Of The Heart (G.M. Remaster ’03)
18. Milk And Toast And Honey (Single Master)

and according to a post from another UKer over at R2R... One Wish was played on Capital Gold yesterday and they said the single is out on Monday!
I am so confused right now, is the single being released here or not.............
thomasc said on October 13, 2006 11:34:
Chris - they’ve been on www.play.com and also www.cd-wow.com for a while now.
They only just started to show on www.hmv.co.uk in the last few weeks.

Denstandigaresan said on October 14, 2006 01:08:
It was on Capital Gold again today... they seem to like One Wish!
ally77 said on October 14, 2006 11:29:
Wow amazed I am .... some UK promotion!
Today’s Daily Express Saturday Magazine carried a little bit of information on the new release on Monday and a picture!
I scanned it for you in such excitement! (after dusting 2 years of dust of my scanner!)

Depending on how well it is distributed and its prominence in the stores, i actually think it has the potential to be top 20...optimistic i know.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 14, 2006 13:55:
It’s quite exciting really. A new Rox record in the shops!! YAY!!!
rox-kuryliw said on October 14, 2006 14:43:
mmm , i dont think it will be any shops where i am on the new release section, or if they have it in, it will be in the roxette section when released like they did with ballad hits when released.
it now all depends on promo from the record company unfortunatly. For ballad hits they used valentines day for free publicity, what they gonna pull out of the bag here.
I recommend tv adds during x factor and saturday night takeaway . will they listern no LOL.
and another thing the tv add needs some of the newer stuff on like wicf Tcoth and ON, cos past roxette fans will just think its old hits that they already have.
ally77 said on October 14, 2006 17:40:
Well I intend to try and buy it in ASDA on Monday so we shall see it appears there!
rox-kuryliw said on October 14, 2006 20:08:
ye ill keep my eyes out in store cos im nosy, i was informed by cd wow it was shipped to my today so should be here monday YAY i get to here One wish in full on my hi fi ( although i couldnt restist seeing it on you tube hehe)
ally77 said on October 15, 2006 13:47:
HMV had a banner advert on there site last night for the new GH!
ash_jgb said on October 15, 2006 18:36:
just watched the advert on tv for the greatest hits. couldn’t believe my eyes! starting to get some promo for the uk now at least!
ash_jgb said on October 15, 2006 18:41:
it was on channel five during the ad break for Dirty Dancing!
Denstandigaresan said on October 15, 2006 19:30:
It was also on during Corrie tonight. :D Yippee!! :D
ally77 said on October 15, 2006 19:36:
We didn’t get it, I waited just in case and we got a friggin Roy Orbinson advert! FECK!!!!!!!!!
Maybe in Prime Suspect we might get it.... will be glued to the TV, just in case!
Oh it’s so exciting!

Nothing so far...anyone watching 100 Greatest albums to see if anything turns up there?
ash_jgb said on October 15, 2006 21:10:
i was watching 100 greatest albums but got bored. haven’t seen any more ads yet
ash_jgb said on October 16, 2006 06:21:
the ad showed clips of their biggest uk hits - the look, listen to your heart, joyride and it must have been love - which should help the sales here!
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 07:14:
Nope nothing here either.... oh well maybe tonight in the double Corrie episode!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 16, 2006 07:15:
Ally, we didn’t get it in the Channel Islands either. :-( Rubbish TV!!!!
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 07:31:
Ha Ha it was on 08.32 hours in the adverts for GMTV! On sale now in ASDA! :)
So glad I didn’t go upstairs to get dressed!
@ Paul, keep watching!
ChrisWilliams said on October 16, 2006 07:54:
I was watching Corrie last night, but left the room during the break! But, just like Ally, I saw it this morning! I’m waiting for my copy to drop onto my doormat any minute now, courtesy of cdwow.com :)
RobS said on October 16, 2006 08:26:
Hehe, pretty funny everyone watching out for a TV advert of all things. But i’d be doing the same if it was to happen here in Australia.
Good to see something happening in the UK, hope it’s a big hit there!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 16, 2006 08:51:
Just checked woolworths.co.uk - it’s at no 20 in their charts!! :-)
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 11:10:
and at Tesco it’s number 24! :)
I got the regular album there for less than a £10 just for the hell of it... but I want the DVD version, so trying Asda laters and if no luck there will order from CDOW laters...
I bet HMV in town have in, but I can’t be bothered treking in town!
rox-kuryliw said on October 16, 2006 11:42:
Magic music tv channel has ”roxette - 10 steps though time” today at 2 pm will repeat im sure.
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 13:39:
Your very right Paul, some of what they are saying is bloody out of order... if this TV had a website I would be complaining!
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 13:46:
Now it was much better to watch One Wish on a 32” wide screen TV than a 17” computer monitor!!!!!!
Facts along the bottom states it’s being released in the UK........... *SIGH*
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 16, 2006 14:00:
One Wish?? Really?? Oh my gosh! That’s actually very cool. At least the channel is showing the new video!! It’s all looking quite promising actually!! Wonder when it’ll be on again??
rox-kuryliw said on October 16, 2006 14:03:
i enjoyed that alot, One wish is a wicked song, kind of sticks in your head the more you hear it. The video WOW. like you said ally makes a hell of a different when on TV lol.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 16, 2006 14:06:
can’t wait to see OW on the TV!! YAY!!!! :-) Does someone fancy going through the listings for me so I can see when it’s next on? :-p
rox-kuryliw said on October 16, 2006 14:12:
ally hear is the website, http://www.magic.co.uk/tv/home.asp
i only know this, cos its the only tv music channel i watch ! i know im not trendy, and i dont care the other music tv sucks lol.
i already emailed them to see if thay can add ’one wish’ on there playlist cos i want to see it again lol, i thought some of the comments where funny, some where abit mean ! saying that when roxette went ’adult’ for CBB it was a way telling us that they went rubbish. I sent them a nice little email saying i think its up the the public to decide and that thats why they dont bother with UK anymore, as they get comments like that which are not fact based and non supportive.
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 19:32:
@ rox-kuryliw.... nice front page article... well done!
I am gonna email them as well, thanks for the webbie link! :)
@ Paul, I’ll find out for you....
@ Everyone Else....
I’ve never heard of it till rox-kuryliw mentioned it, I was like shit what channel is it on... but I found it right away!
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 19:45:
and to add.... I forgot to mention but was just writing up my blog...
“Actually I timed my visit in ASDA just right as there was a couple in there who picked up the album just before me and she said “Snap, we’re getting this too, I remember most of there songs from my teens” lol
I thought it was rather funny! Then she proceeded to discuss Marie with her partner, and was pointing to the picture saying yes it’s still the same person..... I didn’t have the heart to tell her the picture was 10 years old!”
rox-kuryliw said on October 16, 2006 20:13:
aww nice story ally, I still think marie looks me, that pic of her could be now. same but with a cm more hair.
Im so happy i got my first story in, BTW i have magic radio station on while making tea , and it came on, so it is getting on radio. yay
ally77 said on October 16, 2006 20:22:
Ha Ha, cool!
I’ve only seen the advert once... nothing tonight in corrie!
ally77 said on October 17, 2006 21:12:
Now that was good promo, just seen the advert in the middle of Pretty Woman on ITV2!
Jakubek said on October 17, 2006 22:08:
In my town in Tesco Roxette are called THE ALBUM OF THE WEEK and they are laid on the front shelf :) There’s chart as well and their occupying the 25-th position. Pretty well I think :)
kashee said on October 18, 2006 10:36:
Was in Tesco (Reading) 2 days ago and the internal TV advert service started playing their “Album of the Week” ad which was “It Must Have Been Love” video playing.
I went to check the CD section and the single CD hits album was there. Was tempted to buy it but I’m impatiently waiting for my Rox Box from CDON. Hopefully it arrives before I drive up to Scotland this friday.
chrisjankunas said on October 18, 2006 12:29:
Mine too - Been ’ready’ for 4 days now :S I’m going home from Uni to get it this weekend - but its starting to look like I am gonna have to wait until next Saturday at the very earliest :(
ChrisWilliams said on October 18, 2006 15:45:
Ok, so I’ve gotten over wetting myself if I’m buying an extra value pack of Bold washing detergent in Morrisons and they play Milk And Toast And Honey.
But I nearly fell to the floor this afternoon when I heard My World, My Love, My Life :-D

The website has them at 18 !
davidc4 said on October 18, 2006 16:27:
i work in morissons and heard Milk and Toast on my first day heard it a few times since....
ally77 said on October 18, 2006 20:18:
Chris.... I said the same a few weeks ago...
We always get M&T&H in Morrissons, but I was shell shocked when I heard My World, My Love, My Life a month back.... I walked out the shop singing it...
I think it must be the same CD they send to all the stores!
rossyrox said on October 19, 2006 07:58:
So then, does anyone know if One Wish and the Rox Box are going to be released in the UK?
Ross
fabi_salisbury said on October 19, 2006 11:37:
I walked into a Tesco store yesterday and guess what I found... The GH! There was even a banner for the “cds of the week” and Roxette was in there. Didn’t buy it though as i ordered the deluxe version and the roxbox.
ally77 said on October 19, 2006 18:38:
Still no box here, getting slightly annoyed now as the box at CDON is still showing READY FOR DELIVERY and has been like this for 4 days!!!!!!!!
JohnUK21 said on October 19, 2006 20:28:
Has anyone got theirs in the UK yet? Bengalans emailed me to say it was despatched on Tuesday!
davidjjanderson1981 said on October 19, 2006 20:45:
I know I have the same problem with CDON! I still havent received my BOX yet and like you ALLY it just shows READY FOR DESPATCH. I wish they would hurry up. Maybe they will ship all orders at once?
Claire said on October 20, 2006 08:17:
My CDON order says the same as Ally but i thought it only came out Wednesday so im hoping tomorrow or Monday for mine, going away for the weekend tho so it will prob end up at the PO parcel pickup or summat :(
kashee said on October 20, 2006 11:45:
Claire, I have the same issue :(
Driving to Scotland this evening...I have last minute hopes that the Rox Box arrives and I can listen to the whole collection during my 6hr drive.
ally77 said on October 20, 2006 12:40:
I’ve emailed CDON to ask them what the delay is... I think they are awaiting new stock or something!
fabi_salisbury said on October 20, 2006 12:57:
I ordered mine from cdon as well... I assume it’s a stock issue and they might ship all of them in one go...
Claire said on October 20, 2006 13:46:
My God! They KNOW how many they need surely by the number of orders!
davidjjanderson1981 said on October 20, 2006 14:36:
maybe its been more popular than they expected it to be.
ally77 said on October 20, 2006 17:59:
It’s a tad annoying to say the least, I’ll think twice before using them again!
onlywhenidream said on October 21, 2006 10:39:
i got my rox box from bengans yesterday - it really does rox!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 13, 2006 07:10:
I believe it was the versions used on the Pop Hits. The album was mastered by George Marino (I think that’s spelt right). Thats all it means I believe
