I would like to know how good were the sales of the last two albums of roxette (RS and HAND), because I heard that they were poor. Thanks

The booklet of DBUGTTC’95 told that they sold 36 million albums and 15 million singles before the greatest hits. So if you add Greatest Hits, Baladas, Have A Nice Day, Room Service and the continued sales of older albums it has to be near 50 million copies. This was also stated in some press infos.
