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 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?

@Room _service
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.
