Does anyone know how many copies of the US version of Don’t bore Us they sold? It is constantly on amazon.com rank 3000-4000, which is pretty good for an album released >1 yr ago.

Due to a bad record company and lack of PR it never entered the Billboard Hot 200 Albums Chart.
So 50,000 would be a lot!

I remember shortly after it’s release reading at the “Ask Billboard” section of billboard.com that it had sold over 30,000 units. So over time, I don’t think 50,000 units would be totally incorrect.

Let’s just say that some record companies would consider that a doorstop, rather than an actual album because of how poorly it did on the US market.

let’s face it...i love roxette and am in the US...the problem is as i am sure with many US roxette fans is that I did not spend money on this cd because I had already purchased HAND and the original DBUGTTC cd’s as imports. to therefore base the success of roxette in the us market solely on sales from this released american album is simply misguided...

For those who care, the music on the U.S. version of DBUGTTC is remastered. I guess I’m one of the few who noticed. ;)
In any case, after listening to “Breathe” in a better quality, I’m going to also have to say that this would make a better U.S. single than “A Thing About You.” I like “A Thing About You” a bit more myself, but I think “Breathe” *might* be a bit more fitting for the U.S. radio format.

Don’t know about Amazon, but I heard an “official” figure of less than 50,000 in the actual US.
