I am searching for sales figures of the Roxette albums in the different countries as well as for Gold & Platinum Awards. So let’s put them together.
Thank you!

@Coyboy: Sorry, but i think you are wrong. they are higher as far as I know, because they sold around 42 MILLION albums worldwide....... There are some fan-pages with the correct numbers

Yes, the full length CBB album was released in the US. I managed to get a copy from Columbia House last year. Now they no longer have it. I must have got the last copy.

Why are for you sales so important??? I mean, does sales state the quality of the music??
If so I just have to say that maybe Spice girls, N’Sync or Britney Spears or some other good-looking people are the best in music, because music is just image and they’ve got millions of teenagers in love with them and they’d buy a coprolith of them in some years if someone sell it...
I find this a nosense, because for me music used to be harmony, rhythm, melody, all this together conveying something, that means something to me, I don’t care for the other million people who bought the same record.
Pop music is art, does anyone agree? And art doesn’t need high sales figures because otherwise is industry, just goods, no feelings in them.
rouven282 said on July 7, 2002 12:59:
I agree that every kind of music is art, but the sales figures are important as well, because an artist selling badly will be kicked by his/her record company. If this has happened, it’s often difficult to find a new company and so on...
Mfan28179-Jason said on July 8, 2002 06:07:
That’s true, Rouven. Personally, I was just curious as to what Roxette have sold, especially in the US - to see how many people actually had/have interest.
Anyone know the sales figures in the US for “Don’t Bore Us”?

200.000 for US dbu? Sounds a lot for an album that didnt enter top200 on the charts. Where did u hear this?
arnie said on July 8, 2002 19:46:
