You may have noticed that it got harder and harder to find official Roxette music videos on YouTube in the past months. That banning of “official” content is a matter of copyright issues between YouTube, music labels and the recording rights organisations. Now it appears that a user called “roxette” uploaded all the Roxette videos into a channel called “Roxette”.
Well, the channel already exists since 2006 but the videos only got uploaded 2 weeks ago. According to the channel page, it’s an official YouTube partner based in Sweden. Who’s behind this? EMI, Per or the management? Or just a fan – despite the “partner” tag? What speaks for EMI is the rather low video quality… but at least they’re available again!

PS. Um, the presence of “Fireworks” may speak against Per… 😉
Update: EMI Germany is linking to this channel! www.youtube.com/roxette works as well. Looks pretty official!
It seems like it could be the official one (finally!). After not-very-used Per Gessle official account now it’s time for Roxette. the site looks quite depressing and I do hope they will change it soon, if it’s EMI or Dimberg behind it. I like it!
And you mean that the low quality speaks for EMI? You mean they cannot upload high quality clips? 🙂
In this case I think they don’t want to, to keep the DVDs interesting… 😉
I saw there’s an official Rox account by EMI Germany too, not used.
Edit: it’s the same!
