is to write & perform a/some songs for a film,look at what imhbl & almost unreal did for them even though the film super mario bros was a flop the single was huge reaching number 6 in the uk charts beating the likes of madonna.it might be the only way forward!

have to differ with you there kingdom,au entered the charts @ # 7 then climbed to #6 & then fell back to # 7

Ummm no! It did not get higher than 7. As far as I remember it went something like 7-7-8-off top-10.
@ coyboy
If AU was a flop you can add every single release after SIMC to that category!

I always find it surprising that people of a certain age over here can remember Almost Unreal, along with their other UK hits.
Well, I suppose there weren’t that many hits... But there were enough! Enough to get them back into the charts again today. It just needs to be a good song. Not any of this ’living in a box’ rubbish.
Heck, another remake of It Must Have Been Love would do. They did it with Wish I could Fly, and it worked well.
“I Wish It Had Been Love.”
There. It’s sorted. It’ll be a double A side with “Dressed For The Look”.
#1!
Ok... #2
Unless there are any more records with explicit lyrics released that week, in which case I’m hoping for a chart placement of #48 or higher.

@marksufc, I’ve been saying this for months, but no one seens to agree, until now :-) I think a good song in a good movie can make a lot for Roxette. And fans would be happy of having at least a new song while we wait for that dreamed new album.
In this moment there aren’t good songs for movies, so maybe it’s the time for a Roxsoundtrack.

It doesnt even have to be a new song.
There a plenty of existing Roxette songs that could be used in a soundtrack/movie. We just need somebody with connections to send a “Possible soundtracks for a movie -by Roxette” demo cd to some high ranking producer or director.
...Liv’n’n hope

coyboyusa: You are wrong.
Almost Unreal was (at least in Europe) quite a big hit. I think not much Roxette-songs released AFTER Almost Unreal have hitted the charts so well as Almost Unreal (so now I am not talking about the singles released BEFORE almost unreal, like The Look, Joyride, Listen To Your Heart and It must have been Love).

Well, after making it into the movies they should make sure the song also ends up on the soundtrack (i.e. It Will Take A Long Long Time - Runaway Bride).
Oh, and AU ’only’ reached 7th.
