That’s exactly Ace of Base’s chart run for the 1st 2 wks: 14-20...Spooky. Let’s hope the album won’t face the same destiny. ;)

And in Germany: Ace of Base new at #38 and then down, Roxette new at #37 and then down.

That means ATAY is the less succesful “before an album single release” in Sweden. Every take off single from POP to Room Service was until now a Top 10 Hit (mostly even Top 5) in Sweden!

This is quite interesting I think. I mean, looking at it, I really thought A thing about you would be a smashing Hit especially in Sweden. I thought it would get into the top 5 at least with no problem, because of all the shoking news about marie etc... roxette were in all headlines... and newspapers front pages. I even thought they could brake Germany again, but they didn’t do anything. Maybe this is, because A thing about you is just not such a great song. Maybe Roxette were not able to promote it as good as they could have done under different circumstances, maybe the Record Company is just crap and not suporting them.
But what annoys me the most is, I am living here in Ireland actually, and Ireland is not part of Great Britain, so why does Ireland not receive the new CD’s??? I keep going to the Stores but I just can not get anything whatsoever! This really annoys me, well, I guess I have to get it all next time I am in Germany... which is not going to be for another three months, and I am really annoyed that I am missing out on all the good stuff... first the news was, A thing about you would be released world wide, but USA and Great Britain, so Ireland should have received it as well. But we have not! If Roxette would do a big promotion here in Ireland, I know ATAY would be a huge hit, this stuff is big here at the moment... but who cares about such a small country with only a few million people, if there is much more money to make in countries with more than 20 times as many people living in there, such as Germany...
