Yesterday we got the first hints of the possible new Roxette single title. After investigations by several Roxette fans it looks close to being true by now, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
The Cutting Room Studios, known for several mastering works for Roxette, had a news entry about the single, which some fans found thanks to google.com. The post was removed later for unknown reasons, but some fans managed to save the original text and do some screenshots, to which we now have access to:
Our long time friends at EMI Sweden & Roxette are releasing a new single titled “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)”. The Roxette duo started in 1986, combining Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson. Roxette has sold 75 million albums all over the world and have had four singles in the number one spot on the Billboardlistan in the US. With songs like “The Look”, “It Must Have Been Love”, & “Listen to Your Heart” och “Joyride” you can expect another great hit from this outstanding pair. Mastering with Björn Engelmann.
Björn Engelmann has mastered for example the Room Service singles.
As mentioned above, everything is based on the news posted by The Cutting Room studios. You might remember it was the same way, using google, that the participation of Roxette in NOTP was found out and revealed days before the official NOTP press release and artist announcement.
Update: The title got confirmed!
AFAIK the initial reason to search for “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)” were some already present rumours, correct? Can anybody explain where it came from?
I think somebody found it using a google alert for “roxette” or by searching for the latest websites mentioning “roxette”? and landed on the cutting room website, and started to spread it on Twitter (at least I saw the link to cuttingroom there for first time)?
like this for example:

Yes, this was the tweet: Scandipop
But wasn’t there some rumour (from South America?) even before that?
I don’t think so? I think the rumour was based on the same website-google finding?
It’s OFFICIAL – here’s the cover!!!!
