Did they really get an American Grammy in 91?
Also since IMHBL is their most famous song, did they ever get nominated for this, maybe for soundtrack for a movie or something?

No, they didn’t get a Grammy in 91 or any other year for that matter! Maybe they were nominated, but if you do a search on http://www.grammy.com , there are no results at all for “Roxette”...

Oh, and that “Australian Grammy (1991)” - what award was that? AFAIK it was neither an ARIA nor an APRA award (those are the only big Australian awards I know of) and Google hasn’t been much of a help :-/

They won the Mtv Music Awards 1991/92 as Viewer’s Choice from Europe... with “Joyride” !!
All the best

I am also not sure about the american Grammy, I did read it on the website of a german radio station (www.swr3.de/), there are biographies of some artists and the Grammy for Roxette was mentioned.
Starrox said on June 22, 2003 15:19:
Yeah, I know, I read that, too... maybe it’s only a mixup between Grammy and Grammis - that is between the American and the Swedish version?

Roxette received a key to the city of Atlanta. That was pretty cool, especially for somone from out of this country.

They never were nominated for the American Grammies!
