“Hits!” seems to be doing better in countries which Roxette skipped on the RS tour and worse where they had their shows. I know it’s 5 years ago but still...
For instance, they didn’t include Denmark or Norway where the album’s in the top-10. Furthermore, in Finland, Germany, Czech Rep and Spain the collection could be doing a lot better.

In Portugal people have no idea “Hits!” exist ... and I am sure they won’t bother to get it ... after all many still have the DBU collection from 10 years ago and a lot other bought the TBH and TPH so ...they won’t waste money on another repetitive cd. That is probably a reason for the less good sales from Hits a litle bit around Europe.
I think it’s not odd but more or less expected ... even if Roxette is a name peopel still remember does not justify buying a record of this nature when a much more completed set TBH and TPH were sale 3 years ago... This is where Hits! suffers a backlash!

Not to mention the UK, peaking at 22 without any new song or any promo - didnt see or hear anything about a new GH album - and Ireland where it peaked in the Top 10 !!
I think it very strange.
Ha ha ha - what isnt strange tho is that IMHBL (Xmas for the broken hearted) used to be the UK roxette top itunes song (because it was the only version of IMHBL available) - now with the GH it is the Pretty woman version on top and the xmas version second.
