Since Roxette came back in 1999 with Have a Nice Day, there were two major hits, one in that album and other last year, in the Room Service album.
They are Wish I could fly and The centre of the heart, the lead singles of each album, and different from each other.
I can’t deny my favorite is WICF, and I think this is Rox greatest hit since Sleeping in my car.
Which of them do you think is the greatest Roxette hit since they came back?

Well, here in Brazil, Roxette’s last big hits were “Wish I Could Fly” and “Milk And Toast And Honey” (TCOTH was never played in the radio stations)... and I think MATAH is the best one.
Between WICF and TCOTH... I choose WICF BY FAR !!!! :)
All the best
See ya

TCOTH is for me.
BTW. I think MATAH is the biggest hit from RS in Finland.

definitely TCOTH! WICF seemed a bit too slow to be a success. Though, I agree with the great airplay MATAH got, which makes me really happy as I love this song! :)

Wish I could fly was #11 in the UK singles chart (& the supposidly undiscovered album HAND reach #28 in the UK)
The Centre of the heart wasn’t released here and the album didn’t get into the top 100. (but M&T&H made #78...
So...the answer to your question is WICF

Most of you are saying that TCOTH was a bigger hit than WICF worldwide, although I always thought it was different, maybe because here in Brazil TCOTH wasn’t released and WICF was more successful than MATAH.
Anyway, how do you explain that HAND sold more than RS if this album had a bigger lead single?

In Holland WICF was the bigger hit. TCOTH did, well nothing actually. Had a hard time tracking down the remix CDsingle. But got it eventually.
MATAH had a lot of airplay and was in the charts overhere. Personally I don’t like that song except for the unrelreased Fragma mix wich is absolutly fu&^*$#ng brilliant. It would have made it perfect to play on the POP stations like Yorin or Radio 538.

@ JoyRidErno
TCOTH’s a bigger hit than MATAH here...
It was 3 weeks in the official Top 20 singles, peaking at #13 compared to MATAH which didn’t enter the chart at all...No surprise though.
On 50 Hits (which is compiled from radio airplay and sales among others) TCOTH reached no. 2 and MATAH only 48.

World-wide WICF is a bigger hit than TCOTH. For sure.

if you count the rotation on tv and radio station all over the world and the singles chart acrross Europe, it seems that the center of the heart was the biggest hit since sleeping in my car or joyride, i love the two songs, but tcoth, in my opinion is one of the best roxette’s songs ever, i love the sounds , the voices, the arrangements, the drums the tempo ... i think its almost perfect....
