Billboard Radio praises “Wish I Could Fly”
Written by DanJKroll on July 19, 2000 to Misc.
Roxette’s first American single in the better part of a decade, “Wish I Could Fly” has already earned its first honor.
Billboard’s online radio named the single its “Pick To Click” for its broadcast ending the week of July 22nd. The “Pick To Click” is awarded to songs that the Billboard magazine editors feel have the best chance to make it to the top of the charts.
Radio personality Chuck Taylor said of Roxette, “We love ’em around here” and that Roxette is “ready to re-conquer America.”
The mention comes about 28 minutes into the broadcast.

It’s a great song, but not the best on the album. The primary reason it did so well in the UK charts was because Per and Marie were extensively promoting it on various UK TV shows.

I just heard it and I must admit this is great promoton for roxette. They play the full song and give them tons of credit saying marie and per are back. Love it
