STOCKHOLM - Per Gessle and Mats MP Persson will travel to London October 7 to receive yet another "Million-Air" award for "Listen to Your Heart."
"Listen to Your Heart" has been played over 4.000.000 times on US radio, same as "It Must Have Been Love" in 2005. According to BMI.com, based on an average length of three minutes, one million airplays is the equivalent of 50,000 hours or 5.7 years of continuous airplay. Top Million-Air songs are for instance The Police's "Every Breath You Take" and The Beatles' "Yesterday" with both over 8.000.000 plays.
Roxette has eight BMI awarded songs.
Per Gessle is obviously very pleased with this and comments "Yay!"

It seems the radios are not that fond of “The Look” and “Joyride”... I’d like to know if these songs have ever got an award of this kind.

I’ve been trying to find that out, but the only thing I did find was that eight Roxette songs have been awarded this way. Search BMI.com for more info.

Looking on that site, there are loads of Per tracks which have never been released? Where are they all??

Yeah, I know that - Just a shame that we’ll probably never ever here the song called Ghost In The House. I’ve always been intriuged by that one!

Given what’s happend in the past, i’d say Tev knows something more about that song than he’s letting on :-)

How much do you get for each song played in royalties?
