It’s interesting because i didn’t see anything of the release until today. I think that EMI argentina was Waiting for the USA release to promote the Album here. Maybe. Maybe im crazy too.

The text, like a press release translated (automatically by google, sorry):

The 20 greatest hits of Roxette are in compiling that is called “To Collection Of Roxette Hits: Their 20 Greatest Songs”. With “One Wish” like single, this album crowns 20 years of race of a group that made dance to several generations with its music. It was in the spring of the 86 that Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson decided to record a song together: “Neverending Love”. Soon, the pair was made call Roxette and, thus, With more than 45 million of records sold and singles that began a successful race anywhere in the world. Today, after two decades of hits successive danced by million people, this pair that already is registered tradename of the pop one of the 90’s celebrates its anniversary with the world-wide launching. The album, that is an authentic piece of colection, includes 18 of his greatest successes, such as “The Look”, “Listen To Your Heart”, “Dangerous”, “It Must Have Been Love”, “How Do you Do” and “Slleping In My to car”, among others. To this listing of hits the new songs “One Wish” are added, first cut of diffusion of the disc; and “Reveal”, both recorded in present 2006. www.roxette.se

What’s the name of the newspaper plz!!??

Q dia salio publicado el articulo?

The Article and the Text is wrong. Roxette´s 2006 Greatest Hits Compilation Album/Record is called A Collection Of Roxette Hits - Their 20 Greatest Songs! and not To Collection Of Roxette Hits - Their 20 Greatest Songs! and Roxette have sold 75 millions Albums/Records and Singles together and not 45 millions Albums/Records and Singles together.

A, To... don’t you know the word “typo”? I guess you never commit any mistake in your life.

And it says “more than 45 million of records”. I think 75 million is “more than 45 million” after all. So, that figure is not so wrong as you pointed.

As Emilio said the review was translated automatically by google. Since ’a’ is both a spanish and an english word the program mixed it up and changed the title of the compilation. Indeed spanish ’a’ has several meanings, among them ’to’. Okay?

the newspaper is El Día. and the website is www.eldia.com

More than 45 millions Albums/Records And Singles should/would be 46, 47, 48 millions in my opinion. 75 millions is too far way from more than 45 millions.

But still “more than 45 million”. Anyway, do you think the people living in the city of La Plata care if Roxette sold 45, 75 or 500 million of records?

No I don´t think that they cares about it much but it shall be exactly and strictly.

The point is they published something about Roxette there. La Plata is mostly an administrative/universitary city, was built exclusively to be the capital of the province where it is situated. Very different if compared to the acelerated and kinda chaotic life in Buenos Aires. So, if Roxette is mentioned in such a quiet place is a good sign. Sale figures are just a minor detail.
