I was in Lake charles at a casino playing black jack, when all of the sudden they start playing “listen to your heart” on their radio!
It was such a great feeling, and what made me feel so good is that there were like 5 people on the table that WERE americans, and they all new the song and the band! ( tears.. tears...)
Cause i thought american people only knew IMHBL or The look!
I know its stupid but it made me fell so good that those people knew who roxette was!
=)

I’ve only ever heard them in a store twice.
once I was in a DIY store with my dad. I had my walkman with me and CBB came on. my dad thought at first that it was just me playing the walkman very loud and told me to turn it down. I didnt even have rox in, but when I took the ear-piece out I heard it. that was quite cool, and nice to hear.
then one time last week on the way back up to the exams in the afternoon we called in to somerfields to buy some jelly babies, and IMHBL was playing. I assume it was from the compilation but anyway. I didn’t recognise it at first, it was my friend that pointed it out and said ’hey I recognise this song’. I’ve infected all my mates with the rox fever!! :P

A friend of mine used to be a meatcutter in a grocery store where they had the song Crash! Boom! Bang! in rotation. He wasn’t a fan really, but the jangly guitar got him every time so he asked to listen to it. . .hated the CD for the most part. He liked Place Your Love—until the digging a diamond line, which he said ruined the song. The only one he liked really was What’s She Like?
And I heard First Girl On The Moon in a restaurant once. Liked to bowl me over, I was so surprised. Not even a release, but they had it in their soundsystem’s playlist—at least for a while. The one who compiled it must’ve been a Rox fan.
Otherwise all I usually hear on the radio is IMHBL, The Look, and occasionally Dressed For Success.

oh, I remember something: I was on the way to a shop to buy “The Pop Hits”. I saw, that it cost more than I had with me, so I ran to get more money and when I came back, I got the CD and while I was holding it in my hands, they played “Stupid”. I thought, “hey, isn’t that Per’s voice?” I looked at the song list at the back and there I saw “STUPID”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great storys everyone!!!!!!

And I even have a rule: if I hear Roxette in a store when I’m choosing a present for my friend,I should buy this present and my friend’ll like it! It’s like a sign for me)) And it always happens, so now I’m never surprised if I hear some rare Rox-song in some strange place-it’s just fate)))

hey!! ohhhh, I know what you’re talking about! I was in Croatia on vacation, and all of a sudden they played C!B!B! on the radio - I was so happy! But it wasn’t only that: when I was on the way to Croatia, I stopped at a coffee bar and they played Opportunity Nox on the radio - I thought I die!!!!
It’s such a great feeling, when I hear Roxette on the radio, because I know many other people (maybe rox fans like me too) can hear it too - and they like it maybe!!!!
I’m talking toooooooooo much. . .
