by

All South African fans (and all others as well) – heads over to the Roxette website www.roxette.co.za launched by Hanro Manefeldt. There you will find the latest information from the world of Roxette, snippets from “Charm school” album and – hopefully – more content to be added any time soon. By the way – we love the “links” section 🙂

Don’t forget to follow the Facebook page Roxette South Africa and Twitter account RoxetteSA.

Roxette has just landed in Cape Town today. They will play seven sold-out shows in South Africa form more than 40,000 people.

Landed in South Africa! Great place. “I was here two years ago with friends enjoying the lions”, Per says. “My daughter puked on the carpet in this very hotel”, says Marie. She was three!!! Seven great shows to come, y’all!

Roxette’s “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio) enters Svensktoppen at #10

by

Roxette’s first single off “Charm School” finally entered one of Sweden’s most popular radio charts, Svensktoppen, at #10!

Svensktoppen is a program on Sverige Radio (Swedish Radio) which runs on P4 between 11 and 12 CET each Sunday and presented by Carolina Norén.

Three newcomers are chosen each week by P4 music producers based on how often a song is played on P4. The list is created each week with the votes of a randomly selected jury, who can vote for up to 3 songs each week.

Thanks Evgeny for the information!
