As we did for “Charm School”, we will collect the different official chart entries and positions of Roxette’s new album “Travelling” for some weeks in this post. How is the album doing in your country? Let us know! Please provide links to the sources to your numbers.
Roxette’s latest album “Travelling” will enter the German charts at #7 on Friday. So far only new entries and other special changes got published by the chart company. The charts run from Friday to Thursday.
There was very tough competition in the release week. Madonna’s latest album “MDNA” entered on #3 behind German act Silbermond on #2 and Unheilig keeping the #1 spot from the previous week. Iron Maiden debuted on #4. The entries of Roxette’s previous studio albums:
Look Sharp: 30 (peak 7)

C! B! B!: 4 (peak 2)
HAND: 2 (peak 2)
Room Service: 4 (peak 3)
Charm School: 1 (peak 1)
Thanks to Dennis Korbel for the info!
Roxette’s latest single “It’s Possible” reached #1 in the German radio station SWR3′s chart. This chart is done with the votes sent in by the radio listeners during the past week. Roxette entered the chart at #2 last week and has finally climbed to #1 this week.
SWR3 (Südwestrundfunk) was is one of the biggest radio stations in Germany and the biggest in south Germany.
Roxette entered the Swedish album chart at #8 with “Travelling”. As expected, #1 was Madonna with her “MDNA”. This means that Roxette was the second highest entry this week.
(One could think it was a bit of a bad timing to release the album the same week as Madonna…, but who cares, we still love our great band).

Roxette are nominated for the German Echo award with their album “Charm School”. The category Roxette is nominated is called “Gruppe International Rock / Pop” – best international Rock/Pop group. The award is really important in Germany, as much important as the Grammys in the US. There’s not a jury choosing the winner. The sales charts decide the nominees and in the end – the winner.
On the Wikipedia site it says (used Google translate):
The ranking of the winners in most categories results from the added up weeks results of the Media Control sales charts in February of one year to January of the following year. This has the consequence that the absolute sales figures – should be – distributed over the entire year. This easy distortion of the results is possible. Good sales of the artists who achieve over longer periods (no weekly current top positions in the charts) good sales results will be penalized. [1] In some categories (lifetime achievement and special rates) are the winners selected by a jury, the most successful live act is nationally determined via online voting.
The awarding will take place on March 22th in Berlin. The show will be broadcast the same evening. Other nominees are Coldplay, Sunrise Avenue, Snow Patrol and Superheavy.
Our reader Dennis informs that Roxette have been nominated several times before:
According to wikipedia Roxette were nominated for the ECHO award in the categorie “best international group” at least in the years 1992, 1993 & 1995 – (For the year 1994 no nominations were listed, but as Roxette had no new album out the year before, I guess they weren’t nominated).
Thanks for letting us know.
