Gyllene Tider’s latest album is still No. 1 for the 7th week in a row! The already gold, platinum and double platinum record, Dags att tänka på refrängen entered the Swedish album charts on 3rd May, 2013.
Gyllene Tider’s previous studio album, Finn 5 fel! was No. 1 for 7 weeks, but ”only” for 6 weeks in a row.
Guys, you are unstoppable! Congrats!
The last news we could read on mariefredriksson.se in April 2009 was about Marie’s exclusive performance at the royal gala celebrating the 10th anniversary of the World Childhood Foundation. Since then there was silence. In the meantime, Marie went on an awesome tour with Roxette and was very busy with the gigs and travelling around the world, but now that she was performing at the royal wedding and is working on her new solo album, 2 posts appeared in the News section on her official website (Swedish). Nothing else is new there, but the design and content might change very soon. The website is most probably handled by D&D Management.
It would be great to have a Marie Fredriksson Official Facebook page, too. Let’s see what happens.
It’s nice to hear so many news about Ms Effe being very active nowadays. Today it has been announced that Marie will appear in Niklas Strömstedt’s ”Tack för musiken” (= Thanks for the music) show.
The show provides an exclusive and unique picture of Sweden’s most famous artists. Niklas and his guests are talking about music, memories, anecdotes from the artists’ career and also singing songs during the program that is recorded in Maximteatern, Stockholm. Other famous guests related to the participating artists are also attending the show, so we might see Per in the part with Marie as well.
The third season of this program starts in December on SVT, but recordings with Marie are on 27th August.
If you want to be in the audience, apply for tickets asap by sending an e-mail to Joanna Nilsson (Audience Manager): tackformusiken@titan.se. Provide your name, phone number, e-mail address, number of tickets you need and the name of the artist you want to see. Tickets cost only 70 SEK, payable in cash at the entrance. Who comes first is served first!
As several online sources informed today, Marie is currently working on a new album – it will be the first Swedish album with original songs since her “I en tid som vår”, 1996. Her “Min bästa vän” record from 2006 was a cover album.
Marie Dimberg says it will be Ms Effe’s first original album in Swedish in 17 years. The recordings of the album are in progress and there are still no release date or title, but it is planned to be released this year. Woohoo! Hopefully a Marie tour is in plan as well for next year. 😉
