“Ballad Hits” turns Gold in Sweden
Written by Jud on November 11, 2002 to Sales & Charts.
STOCKHOLM - After only being on the market a week, “The Ballad Hits” have reached gold status (30,000 copies) in Sweden.
To promote Gold and Platinum awards in Sweden, the sales limits were lowered a few years ago. The previous limits were 50,000 and 100,000 respectively.

We still heard nothing about The Ballad Hits. I found Roxette’s album sold well in Shanghai, China, such as Have A nice Day and Room Service.
If Roxette can do some promotion in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hongkong those cities, the sale of The Ballad Hits will be huger than they thought. Although I am sure we can buy this album here several month later, it’s a pity that they released this album in Japan at the first time and China later. It’s unfair! We have a wonderful website http://cn.roxette.org to talk about Roxette and download audios and videos. Once some Japnese fans want join us, but they didn’t know Chinese and asked us to talk in English. But we still like using mother language, but you can easily find the downloads what we provide.
