first of all hi !!
Got to say just heard breathe ’wow’ needs to be xmas single. A video a cool icy snow feeling vid, roxette never done a snowy vid. Not saying i dont like ATAY, but its not strong enough for a lead single for a group which is best known for the power ballads.
ATAY is no WICF, it wont touch the UK charts/ US
but think it would be very wrong not to release breathe , to get best promotion for THE BALLAD HITS. it has the power to sell millions if done right.
thats it cheers

Totally agree with you guys... “Breathe” HAS TO BE a single... specially in UK and US.
I just LOVED “A Thing About You”, but “Breathe” is better.
PER, LISTEN TO US !!! :) RELEASE BREATHE !!! :)
All the best

Hi Australian here.
Breathe needs to be a single. It really must be a single.
Such a good song, but what a waste if only the fans are going to be the ones to know about it and hear it.
I hope they release this song as a single.

Yes, Breathe is great! Much better than ATAY and ATAY is very good, though!
The world needs Breathe.
Only the video shoot would be a problem in this time..!
GIVE us BREATHE!

Breathe should have been the first single because is awesome!. Anyway Atay is great too but not so good as breathe.

Per can you read this ??
It’s correct ! Breathe is wonderfull and powerfull. It has to be a single ! Imagine ATAY is having a quite good succes ... but imagine than Breathe.
We understand that the trouble is the videoshooting ... but why arn’t you doing a simple video with existing videoshoot’s or a mix from older Video Clips or just some personal tour clips or clips from, the Promo tour or or
Come on Per : Come on ROXETTE ! This will be the hit single ... be´live us !!!

Very good idea for vid you have. like the best bits of roxette vids put together for breathe, simaliar to marie’s det som var nu.
If i was per with my ’business head’ i would finish releasing ATAY everywhere poss, the wait till everyones ’ok ’ see if marie is well enough to do some small vid shoots looking stunning as ever next valentines day mix with past roxette clips and release ’BREATHE WORLDWIDE’ .
i just love breathe its the first roxette song to give me gouse bumps since TCOTH.

I agree but I doubt that it will be next singel becuse Marie sings it and it whould be strange when shes not there to promote it.
get well Marie

I agree.
But what do we fans know? Nevermind that we predicted the last 4-5 chart flops DUE TO BAD SINGLE CHOICES.

I agree with you Markuz. Atay will be a big flop here in Austria. And that’s so sad, cause I’m sure that “Breathe” would have done sooo much better. Don’t understand why they always release the wrong songs.
They never had this “bad” taste earlier.
The sad thing is, that a good single would have pushed “ballads” a lot and I’m not sure what will be now. Of course it will sell good, but I’m sure with a hitsingle it would have sold a lot better, maybe to get no.1.
I don’t like atay that much and I never believed that it will be good in the charts. If I were no Rox-Fan I would have never bought the single ..

It’s not about “wrong singles” or “bad taste” but i think it’s more about the teenagers these days,i mean,we’re already a few years later,and the music-industry is changed.....
Pascal said on November 1, 2002 19:57:
It’s true they release the wrong songs. ATAY will be a flop (just like Anyone, Salvation, Real Sugar and Milk And Toast And Honey).
I’m pleased to see that so many people want Roxette to release Breathe in the US, instead of ATAY.

@steven:
you’re right, lets push ATAY in US & UK at #1 :-D
are there any ways how we European can help Roxette in the US and UK?
Pascal said on November 2, 2002 09:36:
MATAH big success?? You must be joking, right?
Maybe it was in Sweden, Germany and Russia but elsewhere?
Kiwein1 said on November 2, 2002 09:42:
MaTaH didn’t even reach the TOP50 in germany..so who is saying that it was a big success? It was a radio hit, yes that’s true, but it was not a hit.
DTR24 said on November 2, 2002 11:41:
Interesting here in Germany Roxette is always a radio hit ! Hm very interesting
rox-kuryliw said on November 4, 2002 21:25:
now that marie is on the way to get better they might release breathe early next year??
cskendras said on November 1, 2002 03:07:
i share your opinion ;-) Breath HAS to be a single though the uptempo-album will be released soon...or why not releasing Breath in UK and US instead of ATAY?!...
