Roxette to receive award on international TV program
Written by roxeteer on April 29, 2000 to Misc.
Roxette has accepted an invitiation to attend the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo where they will be presented with an award for “World’s best-selling Scandinavian Act of the Year (1999)” according to the Official Roxette Fanclub. The May 10th awards show is the 12th such event and will be broadcast on ABC (American Broadcasting Company) and 150 other international networks to an estimated 900 million people around the world.
Roxette will perform “Wish I Could Fly”, the lead single from the Have A Nice Day album.
Assuming that their segment is not cut, this will be the first time — in countries like the United States, for example — that Roxette has appeared on television in many years.

Regardless of the chosen song (I think WICF will be fine - providing it’s sung live), this is such great news.
The WMA are seen in so many influential countries, I cannot see anything but positive things for Roxette from this.
Be warned however, not all countries see all the awards. Because of the nature of the awards, some countries omit certain parts that they consider will not entertain their local demographic viewers.
I think Roxette are safe though?

Wish I Could Fly seems like the perfect song for this opportunity
