Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Rix FM launched new Roxette single this morning

Written by David78 on September 18, 2006 to .

STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - RIX-FM reports that (perhaps with a small about of exaggeration) that all of South America was listening via the Web this morning, when the station played “One Wish” for the first time. “You see, Roxette are really popular in South America,” they report on their site.

  “It’s always fun to meet with Per,” they continue. “We spoke a little about the election [Sweden just elected a new government] and Per had watched the election returns come in on TV and thought the result was expected. Per was dressed for the day in workout clothes, as he was headed for the gym when he was finished with us. That’s what it’s like to be a world star; a world premiere one minute, a workout the next.”

  “Morgon Zoo” is a very popular radio show that can be heard all over Sweden – and all over the world on the Internet – with hosts Roger, Titti and “Miss Sweden.”

  It turned out that the RIX-FM broadcast was not actually the world premiere of the song on the radio, as EMI Germany had sent promo copies of the single to radio stations in advance of EMI Sweden’s previously announced “official” airplay date, and several stations, apparently unaware of the “hold for release” date, went ahead and played the song immediately.

CRIZ said on :

@Kiwein: WHAT???? Great!! They are allowed to play it already?? Great..!! Will start to “annoy” the other stations now... SWR3 seems to be extremely Roxette-friendly aren’t they?? I’d wish I could hear the programme here ...

about morronzoo...hopefully Per has to get up very early!!! >:) (I personally really hate monday mornings..but not the coming one then)

Kiwein1 said on :

CRIZ: Try swr3.de You can hear “webradio”. That’s what I do at the moment as well..

CRIZ said on :

Thanx...how did they introduce the song?? What did they say?

Kiwein1 said on :

Actually they told nearly the whole story. ;-)
When it all started, the best songs, about their success, Marie’s cancer. They had a jingle in which Per and Marie said: You are listening to our new single ...on SWR3 and then they played One Wish. Afterwards the moderator said: “Die neue Single von Roxette hat ordentlich Schmackes.” I’d translate this with “the single has a lot of power.”

Sascha said on :

Wow!! Have to switch radio on! Maybe NDR2, FFN, WDR2 as well..?

lonely_girl said on :

SWR3 already played it?! How cool! Unfortunately I don’t get it here except over web-radio :-D

Wonder if the song will ever be played here in Switzerland :-/

Max-Tob said on :

hmm. does it mean the video will be out as well?...i mean...on vh1 or at least viva?

gyllene_tjej said on :

yes, if anyone can download it - especially the interview, please provide us with suitable links later on. I don’t know how I’m going to get up THAT early...but well, just about anything for you...Roxette, he-he-hey!!

Starrox said on :

Poor guys at RixFM, they always think their station’s going to be the first one worldwide to play the first single of a new album by Roxette and some other station always plays it before they do! This is the 5th time since 99 this has happened...

gyllene_tjej said on :

haha Starrox - maybe noone will tell them they failed again? ;)

CRIZ said on :

Airplay on the radio is cooooooooool!!!! Wake up World..Roxette is back

room-service said on :

@Starrox: Had Rix FM plans to premiere ATAY? I just remember us sitting in front of our pc listening to MixMegapol which announced to play it at 8 o’clock in the morning and at least already played it earlier ;-)

andi11 said on :

@lonely_girl: I’m sure the song’s going to be played on Swiss radio stations! They even played “Jo-Anna Says” for quite some time, Argovia still plays that song!

substitute said on :

The promotion starts!

AURYTE said on :

I’d just like to ask if Morgon Zoo has any special spot (time) in their programme where they play premieres?

Emikloj said on :

I heard yesterday that “One Wish” will be the Hit of the Week next week on Rix FM.

Katuska said on :

Can anyone record it? I can only listen to webradio...

shannyn77 said on :

roxtexanet said on :

Same here! But it’s still nice to hear the word “Roxette” over and over again, after SOOOOO long... (-: (-: (-: “One Wish” is perfect music for getting the Swedes out of bed!!

gyllene_tjej said on :

streaming anyone? to download the interview, thanks!

AURYTE said on :

It was fantastic :) It was a bit funny when Per said the full title of the Greatest Hits. He seemed to have forgotten it ;)

CRIZ said on :

Hmpf..you can download the Lisa Miskovsky part but not Pers...

Fernanda-Brasil said on :

Yeeeeeeeees South America love’s you Per and Marie!!!!! :D

qrox said on :
