Well yeah it looks cool, really!!!
Only one thing; I’d say Dutch chart positions and not Holland.

Some mistakes, for instance:
Stars in the UK #56 (not 58)
WICF in Italy #10 (not 4)
and Room Service reached no. 22 in Italy and no. 120 in the UK.
Try to manage to correct the rest yourself, Mr Wise-guy!

@ animalkingdon!
Did you make your own Rox chart website???
If you did, let me see it & judge it!
It took months of preparation to make that site so shut the fuck up!!!
’mr. wise guy’? what the fuck are you 12?

Somebody’s knickers in a knot?
You can be constructive with your remarks if the individual has made an honest mistake. You were down-right rude. I like the site, and if there’s a mistake, the owner’s big enough to admit it.

Nice to have all the charts on one page. One hint: animalkingdom was just being nice to you, to give you some corrections.... So don’t be angry at him.
I’ve also got one correction: since when is malaysia in Europe????

@ Jason
@ LittleSpooky
@ everyone else
I had just read his “Want Rox chart positions...?” thread...S.T. thinks he’s some sort of almighty god who no one dares to ignore. I just happen to dislike him and _his_ rude remarks.
@ Small-talker
I’ve spent a lot of money to get some of the chart positions (eg from Billboard), very much time emailing different chart compilers, IFPI etc.. I did have my own chart page online for some time but then took it off because of...hmm, some reason - must have been because of my internet account...anyway, I’ve got a page coming up (in Finnish though) with chart data from the U.S., Germany, the UK and Sweden (the most important & accurate ones :-)...

DBUGTTC was #1 in Finland... At least I remember so... I can recall when I saw June Afternoon on TV... DB... was #1...
...Animalkingdom do you remember this kind of thing?

@ Small-talker
Forgot: about your discography plans..We already have one GR8 Roxette dG site on the net...You wouldn’t rip ’your’ info from there, would you?!
But then again, you’re just Gary - I am sure you will.
animalkingdom said on June 22, 2002 17:45:
@ Erno
No...Its chart-run went like this: 7(new)-2(lot of predictions about being #1 though)-4-4-11(ouch)-9-9-off the top 10 again->down,down,down...

@ Japeke - “One hint: animalkingdom was just being nice to you, to give you some corrections.... So don’t be angry at him” -
His ’choice of words’ was rude, he used a dispicable tone and I found his comments (try to manage to correct it yourself, MR WISE GUY) highly insulting! How is that nice? Since when is that foul mouthed slut nice???
@ coyboyusa - “i really am to my wits end with this small talker clown ..for a 16 yr old he sure acts like he is a child” -
I am seriously sick of idiots like you who only think that age is something which creates boundaries! I bet you if I never relased my age to anyone no-one would be embracing such comments! How is it people like AnimalKingdom can be foul-mouuthed and quite-dispicable and people like yourself insult me! I’m confused! Now you’ve just put yourself in a corner! Can you tell me what exactly I did wrong in this topic as I’m lost! This will prove my point once and for all that you people just jump on the band-wagon and insult me without good cause!
@ animalkingdom - “I had just read his “Want Rox chart positions...?” thread...S.T. thinks he’s some sort of almighty god who no one dares to ignore. I just happen to dislike him and _his_ rude remarks” -
WHAT RUDE REMARKS?!? The only rude remarks I used here where the ones which were in retaliation to your stupily-predictable remarks!
“I’ve spent a lot of money to get some of the chart positions (eg from Billboard), very much time emailing different chart compilers, IFPI etc.. I’ve got a page coming up (in Finnish though) with chart data from the U.S., Germany, the UK and Sweden (the most important & accurate ones)” -
It’s wierd that all these supposedly ’new & oh so almighty chart positions’ are the ones which I have fully completed in my website! ISN’T THAT WIERD Animal...
“Forgot: about your discography plans..We already have one GR8 Roxette dG site on the net...You wouldn’t rip ’your’ info from there, would you?!
But then again, you’re just Gary - I am sure you will” -
Name one thing I ripped off! Yes, I took chart positions from all over the place but these are in the public-domain (do you know what that means?) so they are free for use by anyone! NO ONE CAN COPYRIGHT CHART POSITIONS!!!! The new ’discography section’ that’s coming up on my website isn’t of all the albums, just of POP,DP,HAND & RS. I have more material on the albums then even you will have! Don’t think that you have some sort of connections to Per & Marie which makes you a higher status above everyone else! You’re only human and all your remarks about “having an ultimate account of German/UK etc,... Chart positions” makes you seem terribly arragant & I personally can’t stand it!
animalkingdom said on June 24, 2002 10:46:
@ smalltalker
you think i’d take your false info on my site? hope i may laugh... ha ha ha
well, believe it or not, i had my chart page on the net before i first got into a fight with you back in the old dailyroxette.com. back then it was already about chart positions which you had mis-interpreted.
Small-talker said on June 24, 2002 10:51:
You’re not particularly insulting me when you say my chart info is wrong! A lot of people here sent that info to me - so a lot of people are reading this now thinking that you’re dis-respecting them!
You’re walking on ice my dear chum, thread carefully!
Small-talker said on June 24, 2002 10:54:
so if I was to look at pieTRoxette’s info that he sent me & if it was wrong & I posted it, what would you think you were doing - insulting me or pieTRoxette?
As I said, the ice is melting and you’re still in the middle of a big frozen river! better hurry out of there but don’t go too fast! you’ll fall through!
animalkingdom said on June 24, 2002 14:28:
@ smalltalker
someone’s a bit too dramatic here, don’t you think?
anyway, a lot of ppl don’t know the meaning of ’official chart’ therefore one shouldn’t take very seriously the #1’s in belgium & brazil...the charts have always been a bit of ’a problem’ among the roxette fans...that’s one of the reasons i’ll only concentrate on the countries where i’ll sure get the correct info.
and about pietroxette: there is an official hungarian _sales_ chart and the country’s not divided into two (like belgium for instance) so i guess there’s no difficulty compiling the information from there...if you don’t go guessing the positions. :)
animalkingdom said on June 24, 2002 14:33:
...and i do not intend to insult anyone (except you when you really deserve it). and if i correct someone’s info is that an insult?! i just ask...
JoyRidErno said on June 24, 2002 16:40:
@animalkingdom
Niin siis jos en nyt ihan väärin muista niin siihen aikaan kun Lista tuli vielä telkkarista niin joka vuoden ekalla viikolla tuli kaikki edellisen vuoden listaykköset. Ja mulla oli vaan tunne, että ’96 olisin nähnyt June Afternoonin. Voin olla väärässäkin. Muisti pettää...

@small-talker: pffffffffffff........... I think you are a bit irritating....

Alright Small-talker... you’ve been on this board as three usernames right? Gary, Vodafone and now as Small-talker. (Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Knowing you you’ll probably have a few other choice words for me too).
Under every username you have managed to piss everyone off. I’ve read over this page and people are trying to give you a little bit of constructive criticism and you totally lose it. Look, if you get pissed off about what people say about you or your sites than why are you still here? Why do you continue you to come back and piss everyone off? Furthermore why do YOU continue to come back and get insulted?
I’m not trying to insult you here, just voicing my opinion and hope that you will understand what I’m trying to say. And I would like to THANK you for the Canadian chart positions, too bad you couldn’t find more (this isn’t an insult, just me wishing that you could find more chart positions.)

LittleSpooky said on June 25, 2002 04:20:
I am thinking that maybe it’s time for this thread to either be deleted, or ignored. We aren’t getting anywhere and the childish attitudes are really starting to wear thin.
Here’s how I see it (and I don’t care whether or not someone thinks I’m right, wrong, or I should blow it all out my *ss. And before anyone starts calling me childish, I will have you know that I am 27 years old. Yes, I have the occassional temper-tantrum, but now is not one of those times):
1) Title of the thread. Now there’s a challenge if I ever heard one. But I must be a moron, since I didn’t know that you were even WORKING on a website such as this. No biggie, I’ve not been around, my choice.
2) While I’m not really caring about most of the arguements here, animalkingdom did ATTACK first. Now before everyone gets their underwear in a bunch... STOP. “Try to manage to correct the rest yourself, Mr Wise-guy!” animalkingdom: You were doing real good until you decided to turn this into a pissing contest. Critisism could have been considered constructive until you decided to have the age old “My wank’s bigger than yours, nanny nanny nanny”.
3) Small-talker: You should have just let it go man. But instead, you bent to his/her level and had to continue the fight. Ever hear of the words: “Strategic retreat”? It basically means: Grab your *ss and run before you lose more than you’ve gained. Also, grab an atlas buddy, Malaysia AIN’T in Europe. Check more towards the Pacific Ocean.
4) coyboyusa: Can I ask you something? Who asked for your personal opinion? Way to throw gasoline on the bonfire there bud. I know I am doing the same right now, but there’s GOT to be a voice of sanity somewhere (despite the fact I am EXTREMELY sleep deprived and wanting blood anyway).
5) animalkingdom: You wasted your money when you can get most of the information off of the public domain? *shrugs* Okay. And if you have a problem, take it off the board.
6) japeke: Are you a qualified person to determine whether or not Small-talker needs professional help? If so, fine. If not... stuff a sock in it please. NO ONE deserves cracks at their self-esteem like that.
Bet yall didn’t think about that, did you? While most of us here are fairly secure with who they are in life, there are those that aren’t. I am one of them. My self esteem stands as tall as a blade of freshly mowed grass. You think I’m kidding? I try my damndest to avoid confrontations. I put myself down on a regular basis because it hurts like a mother when someone else does it.
I found Roxette and The X-Files to be a “safe haven” of sorts. Unfortunately, I don’t hear much from fellow X-Philers, with the exception of Den on here. She’s kept me up to speed since Haven’s been down and I haven’t found any of the latest news out (who will be starring in what upcoming movie/tv show/and so on).
As for TDR, it’s degenerated into a sort of free-for-all-I’m-gonna-kick-your-*ss-because-you-disagree-with-me. This is why I quit hanging around here. I got tired of the put downs, the shove downs, and the general abuse. If I want to feel THAT sh*tty, I’ll call my dad and let him tell me how worthless I am. Or I’ll try to do stuff with my mom, but she’s too busy taking care of her mother-in-law to be bothered with me.
Long and short of it is, folks: I don’t like coming around here anymore. I don’t like talking to about 95% of you because you act like children. My 2 year old neice acts more grown-up than a lot of you here. You don’t like what I just said, it might be true. Roxette decided that the US wasn’t worth the effort, but I remained a fairly loyal fan because the music still means something to me. But you people here... yall leave a lot to be desired.
And if you act like this here, God help the world because it’s going to Hell quickly.
Questions? Comments? Flames? Fine. Questions and comments will be answered, flames will be used to toast my marshmallows.

’Bout time someone started acting mature around here!
Can anyone tell me exactly what part of the following statement entitles anyone to ’flame’ me?
“My website wouldn’t be done by now!
http://www.geocities.com/roxrule2002/index.html
It contains chart positions from all over the globe!”
I don’t see how I’m the one getting flamed when AnimalKingdom is the one that started this latest wave of ’flaming’
Small-talker said on June 25, 2002 12:13:
I say that we leave this topic on a mature note and let this page swift quickly off of page 1. Even I’m getting sick of this! Please, no-one else reply to this
Small-talker said on June 25, 2002 12:14:
Well, one good thing came out of this! 130 people visited my page!
