Every year Swedish tabloid Expressen ranks the most important Swedish celebrities of the year. In 2009 Per Gessle was on the 33rd position and Marie was 84th. This year, thanks to the royal wedding and small summer tour, Roxette was ranked as the 23rd celebrity of the year in Sweden.

Hello there!
We hope you had a lovely Christmas break. Only 4 days are left in our Roxette World Tour 2011 competition – December 31st is the deadline. You can choose max. three songs that you would like to hear during the forthcoming concerts. Of course, we skip the big hits and concentrate on those less known pearls. In fact I would like you to choose only these tracks that were NEVER performed live before. It was you, dear RoxetteBlog.com readers, who managed to place “Silver blue” on the Roxette’s 2010 playlist. Marie and Per are still interested in your opinions. Rehearsals start in February, but now it’s the last moment to vote.
I have counted almost 180 votes so far and results are quite interesting. If you haven’t voted yet, do it know. And yes, we are going to do a second part of voting after the “Charm school” album’s release.
Just in time for Roxette’s new single, album and tour, the official site www.roxette.se got relaunched. The website had been under the previous design concept for roughly five years. It shared the basic concept with all other official Per Gessle homepages and had been launched with Per’s “Sun Of A Plumber” album in late 2005 (as far as I remember). Now it appears to be a standalone website, the other homepages remain unchanged so far. Check out the new content and functions! WordPress PBN Hosting companies can help those who are planning to launch a new website for their business or blog.
The site features new and improved pages for news, biography, discography, lyrics, gallery, newsletter, webshop (via bengans.se) and contact adresses, embeds Per’s latest Twitter messages and links to the merchandise store, Gessle/Roxette forum, Snowish, Twitter and Facebook pages. Note that it’s the Roxette Facebook page, not Per Gessle Official. So it looks like Roxette will control that (so far passive) page soon as well.
She’s Got Nothing On (but the radio)
What she got she got to give it to somebody
What she got she got to give it to someone
It’s not a case of growin’ up or lots of money
It’s just the fundamental twist of the sun

Swedish 50+ women magazine “M-magasin” is organizing a competition where their readers choose the most important women of 2010 in various categories. In “The hero of the year” Marie Fredriksson is nominated for her comeback with Roxette after the brain tumour. We think it is really important to show our support through this voting. Please, share this message with other fans and let’s make Marie as the hero of the year in “M-magasin”.
