What song should "Ballad Hits" include?

Should it be only the singles ( so that many non fans can get songs they know) or should they put on some album tracks that might be even better than the ones released as singles ( like “Im Sorry” Or “Excited”). I hope it will be like in the last example, but I think it will be only singles included.
Could this tracklist be;
01 A Thing About You
02 Listen To Your Heart
03 It Must Have Been Love
04 Fading Like A Flower
05 Spending My Time
06 Queen Of Rain
07 Almost Unreal
08 Crash! Boom! Bang!
09 Run To You
10 Vulnerable
11 You Dont Understand Me
12 Wish I Could Fly
13 Anyone
14 Salvation
15 Milk And Toast And Honey
16 Breathe

For the last post, I think “Church Of Your Heart” will make the “uptempos” CD, not the “ballads” one. So it looks like your tracklistings predictions are quite accurate.

Church Of Your Heart is definitely a ballad! But I wasn’t that sure about Fingertips, it has elements of both directions.

if church of your heart is ballad then roxette play metal...
coyh is faster than any ballad we could compare it to. coyh is a mid-tempo with predictions for uptempo (guitars, fast chorus...), btw per sings coyh and per used to sing uptempos:)

if “church of your heart” isn’t a ballad then “Fading like a flower” also isn’t a ballad...
In my opinion COYH is more a ballad then FLAF, which is a power-ballad...

I also think that the compilations will mostly feature the singles, but if we count all the ballads & all the up-tempo songs (+ the 2 new ones) we only good 16-17 songs on each compilation and I think that is not much enough for a GH album (min. 18 tracks should be on each CD) ;)
I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some non-singles (like Marie did it on Äntligen). Perhaps they will add some PoP Singles like Neverending love or I call your name...
At least I don’t think that they’ll do so :(
But I hope that they will add “I WANT YOU” to the ballads tracklist - I need this song in CD quality, please!!

well i think on the ep for ballads the acoustic version of stars will probably be on it

Just please tell me that the compilation won’t be titled as “Ballad Hits”... The previous one, “Roxette’s Greatest Hits: The Ballads” sounds much more better - and professional.
About Church Of Your Heart: How on earth can you call it a ballad?!! Come on, listen to the song!! It’s more of... what was the term Per used...
Power pop!
But I agree on FLAF...It’s not really a ballad. Especially the chorus has too fast a tempo...But then again, where do Per & Marie draw the line?

Church Of Your Heart- NOT a ballad.
Fading Like A Flower- IS a ballad.
Plain and simple...
Btw; isnt “Fading” on Balads En Espanol?

i would like to include. you don´t undestand me (abey road version) and the spanish lost version and see me, i love it!

You can claim it to be this or that, it’s something between. Listen to the unplugged version. Btw, when Roxette released Vulnerable, they said it was the first Per sung ballad since... guess what...Church Of Your Heart! ;-) So P&M see it as a ballad.
Did you ever listen to the showcase version of Stars? Hey, is Stars a ballad?
