I was asked by some fans to register on this Site and share with all of you, what I had shared with other Fans already. Please have a read of the email I sent out to a lot of Fans:
Dear Roxette Fan!
My Name is Daniel Thompson and I am working for a Local Newspaper in a small town of Balbriggan, in Ireland. As a new Roxette Album is going to be published this year, I was asked to create the Top 20 Roxette Charts. Because of this, I started a poll. I startet to sent out 1000 Emails to Roxette Fans all around the World. I would like to ask you, to send me an email back please, with your favorite Top 20 Roxette Songs. Each mentioned Song will get points, the Song you placed as your personal Number one will get 20 Points, the 2nd one - 19 Points and so on... down to Song Number 20 with one point. From all your Votes I will make up the Roxette Fans Top 20 Songs. The Song with most points abviously is the Number one and so on... I NEED YOUR HELP TO CREATE THE ROXETTE TOP 20!!! Please reply to this email and send me your personal Top 20. I know it can be hard to decide what Song is going to be better than the other sometimes, the way I work it is, I give each song points between 1 and 1000. If I have two songs I like the same, I think of every detail of each song and decide, which song should get one more point... it is A LOT OF FUN and you apreciate Roxette Songs even more! ;-)
Please don’t just reply to this email, please also send it on to all Roxette Fans you know! If you are a WebMaster of a WebSite, please publish this email on your Site with my email Address. Please help me to create the Top 20, as I need at least 5000 Votes to be able to publish the figures in the local Papers. After this is done, I am going to send the figures on to the Roxette Managment. Again, please send me your Personal Top 20 Roxette Songs and send this Email on to as many Roxette Fans as Possible.
I hope to receive your personal Top 20 soon. If you have any Quesitons, you are more than welcome to get back to me and I will answer any Questions that may arise.
Kind Regards,
Daniel Thompson
All of you, please email me your personal Top20! It will be highly appreciated.
[email protected]

The Problem is, I would need all votes as emails, as a proof that I received it all, should any questions come to me later on.
As I said earlier on, I sent out 1000 Emails to Fans already, but hardly got any responses. So please, please send your Personal Top 20 on to me and PLEASE also send my email on to everybody you know! Roxette Fans of course! I need all your help, as I don’t want this to fail.
I had mentioned earlier already, that successfull Reports from the Newspaper I work for, get published in the Big ones (Irish Times...) I need as many votes as possible, to make the Poll as accurate as possible. If the Article is going to make the Irish Times, I could get something amazing going, that would get Roxette being notoced big time here in Ireland again.
I feel like I have been given a huge chance to help Roxette out with this project, I really don’t want it to fail and need all the help of the Fans I could possibly get.
Thanks in advance.

Good luck with your project, Daniel! You already got my Top 20 and I’ve passed on your mail, I hope you get many answers! :)

just a question.. how did you get hold of 1000 email addresses of Rox fans??
TDaniel said on August 15, 2002 07:23:
Judith:
I simply studied through the whole web on all different sorts of Rox related Fan Sites. I only put email addresses on my list, that were viewable to public...
it took me a really long time to find that many... but I really want this poll to be successfull and bring some accurate figures forth...
Sadly so far I hardly got any Replies. The goeal is to get at least 5000 Votes, otherwise I won’t be able to publish the Poll. So far I only got 80 Votes, and that is really dissappointing, but I won’t give up, as this is just the first couple of days the Poll is going. I have faith in the other Fans and hope to get all their help to accomplish my Goal. I hope we will be able to reach every Roxette Fan on the Web and even beat the goal of 5000 Votes.

TDaniel: I think you are an Idiot, why do you feel free to take everybodies emails???
Of course I didn’t answer your email... so you are from Balbriggan... funny... I am from Swords...
Majdy said on August 16, 2002 07:55:
Brian: if you don’t want to response him, then simply not emailing him. You don’t have to say such a rude things to him...
To Daniel: I promise you’ll have my roxette top 20 TODAY!!!! (I work in the newspaper too)
Jud (moderator) said on August 16, 2002 08:14:
Brian, i myself wouldnt be surprised if he would email me, cuz it is me who has allowed my email addy to be seen here, and so have the other fans whose profile show it.. so i guess that when you dont want anybody to write you, you just click on the “email address not viewable” like you and thats it....
Brian said on August 16, 2002 08:28:
Guys, when you received his email, didn’t you think: “Where in the world did this freak get my email from? Why is this freak writing to me...” I think it is really strange and something fishy is going on here...
TDaniel: if you are from Balbriggan, why don’t we meet up, as I am from Swords and that is only 10 Miles away from Balbriggan...
I would never give one of my votes to a complete stranger...
Mfan28179-Jason said on August 17, 2002 05:02:
Freak? LOL. I think this is getting out of hand. It’s just a Roxette fan who is interested in everyone’s Top 20 favorites. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. And again, if you don’t want people to send you e-mails, then don’t make your address public! Quite simple I think.
Anyways, I’ll be sending my Top 20 shortly.
TDaniel said on August 19, 2002 07:10:
Just a reminder! Please send your Personal Rox Top 20 on to me at [email protected] !!!
Brian said on August 21, 2002 07:51:
Looks like no one is really interessted in your stupid poll. I really think this is a stupid Idea, why would the public, I mean, non Roxette fans be intessted in such crap. Of course to me it wouldn’t be crap, but I am a Roxer, that’s why... but think about other people! Gosh, get real, who would even look at this article. If I would see the Top 20 of another Group, I wouldn’t care about it.
Nefatari said on August 21, 2002 09:12:
@Brian
I’m sure I would read the articel if the Top 20 wouldn’t be from a Dancefloor-Techno-Band.
So why not making a Poll??
Just yesterday a friend of mine (Non-Roxfan) asked me to tell him some really good Roxettesongs, not only singles but also other albumsongs!
So I guess it’s quite interesting for some ppl outthere!
Brian said on August 21, 2002 09:19:
Yeah, but do you seriously think something like that would be interessting in general? Whom is Daniel Thompson trying to fool? I mean, he can’t be serious, I think his Idea is crap. Especially now that Roxette isn’t famous anymore.
I hope you didn’t sent him your vote, did you?
TDaniel said on August 21, 2002 09:29:
Brian:
Why are you so angry about this Poll? Please don’t put my work down. I try my best to help Roxette to get noticed here in Ireland again. Why don’t you feel the same, being from Ireland as well? I am working hard to achieve the 5000 Votes and if you put it down like that, it is sure going to be a great dissadvantage to my work. Please consider that. If you feel annoyed that you received an email from me, I am really sorry, I didn’t think I would offend anyone.
Brian said on August 21, 2002 09:56:
You don’t tell me what to do right? Get lost wit your poll. Don’t use us for your own benefits!!
Nefatari said on August 21, 2002 10:07:
@Brian
Take a deep breath and try to calm down a bit.
Actually that poll isn’t worth to be so angry!
Daniel asked us for our help, he doesn’t “use” us.
If you don’t want to help him, don’t do it, that’s the easiest way to deal with it.
And yes, I’ve sent him my Top 20 already, and I don’t regret it. It wasn’t that hard work for me, to write down 20 songs and send an e-mail.
Jud (moderator) said on August 21, 2002 10:24:
Brian I don´t think you are the most appropiate to complain about somebody using the others. YOU used this forum and the fan´s need for something new to sit on your chair and laugh about us, so I would rather ask you to think before posting something, and don´t insult people like this, cuz I think there are a few on this site who would like to see you gone.
Brian said on August 21, 2002 11:01:
okay, I am out of here.
I don’t need that BS, I don’t even want to comback if this is the way...
TDaniel said on August 21, 2002 14:33:
Brian, I am truly sorry, but I can not see how I have offended you. I am not here to judge you. Both of us are two Irish Blokes, we just live 15 minutes away from each other, why don’t we just put all the frustration behind us and go for a pint of guiness sometime?? C’mon, the Irish are meant to stick together...
Brian said on August 21, 2002 14:59:
How come you wanna go for a drink with me, you don’t even know me! But I am sorry if I overreacted. We actually live closer to each other than you think, I live in Skerries! So it really is just 5 minutes away from each other...
what Pub would you be thinking of anyway?
