“Milk And Toast And Honey” huge radio hit in Germany
Written by Sugarheart20 on October 15, 2001 to Roxette.
Following the success of “The Centre Of The Heart” and also the somewhat constant radio airplay of “Real Sugar” in most countries in Europe, “Milk And Toast And Honey” is getting fantastic airplay on some German radio stations. It has been #1 on some of their airplay lists for more than two weeks.
Per has mentioned many times that “after a pop tune there is alway a power ballad…” and M&T&H comes close to being that. It’s definitely a “Roxette song” and people are loving it.
The single is also on the top 100 singles charts at #59 and the “Room Service” album is climbing the chart again slowly. In this reporter’s opinion, this means that having a hit doesn’t truly mean that the song has to sell a lot but at least be recognized and appreciated when played on the radio and that is what is now happening to Roxette.
Also, in Portugal, the ballad is now getting airplay due to its apparence on the soap opera “Um Anjo caiu do ceu” produced in Brazil. Hopefully, it will become huge there as happens many times with soap opera soundtracks. Interestingly, the three singles from “Room Service” are now simultaneoulsy getting airplay on radio stations in Portugal - quite an unusual situation.

Milk and toast and honey is getting very well also in Poland. The third single from the newest Room Service album is No. 1 on some of the polish charts as well. This is gonna be a quiet big hit, maybe not as big as It must have been love, of course but as I said it was getting very well. Some of my friends ask me to bring them a CD with that song, that means the song is liked. By the way: Greetings from Poland :-)

If a soap-opera helps MATAH to get well and become a huge hit in Portugal, then what does EMI do?

Oh, I love the demo of it so much :). I really think it’s prettier than the actually version. Good to hear that it’s doing well in Europe :).
