Have a look on the new album’s backside! The new stairway photo combined with Gessle drawings and what looks like an airport pictogram. Don’t overlook the Crash! Boom! Bang! style reference on the track names!

It was just per accident that we learned Roxette’s Travelling is “Record of the Week” on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. That means the single is getting special daily airplay. The website points to the single release on March 16. Let’s hope this promotion opportunity does more for the new single in the UK than it did for She’s Got Nothing On a year ago!
PS. Note that they misspelled the name to “It’s Impossible”. 😉
Update: Actually they write “Release date: 16 April”, not March. A physical UK release on the horizon?
It’s the second time that Roxette enters Billboard Boxscore chart that shows the concert with the biggest gross sales. As not every concert is reported to Billboard, we get those pieces of information randomly. This time Live Nation decided to go out with two Brisbane concerts. It gave Roxette #2 position in the chart.
