Roxette made it to #16 of the “current top artists” at amazonMP3 in Germany! At the same time the “Roxette Hits” album is in the MP3 charts since 40 days, currently at #30.
Looks like an early effect of the NOTP promotion!

Big interview with Per, 2 new Roxette tracks
There’s a big interview with Per on www.gessle.com, mainly about the Party Crasher tour experiences. The band members promised each other to let this tour literary “never end”. Per will fly to NYC to get an US release for the album.
Today I asked Per on twitter if Roxette aim for a whole album or just some tracks. He responded “2 tracks. that’s it for now.” Not exactly the answer I dreamed of! But we’ll see how it continues. Wonder how these songs will be released…
Update: The interview was moved to The Daily Roxette.
NOTP tops ticket charts
One week after the line-up announcement, the NOTP tickets are found straight at the top of German ticket charts at www.eventim.de. Judging from the forum entries at www.notp.com the Proms audience is very pleased with our Swedish superduo as this year’s headliner!
More about Roxette’s future plans
In an interview with dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad Per and Marie reveal a bit more about Roxette’s future plans beside NOTP.
Now after the comeback announcement there are plenty of offers for concerts and tours, but Marie feels still unable to do a complete Roxette tour. One step at a time. Despite this limitations Per thinks everything they do now is unexpected fun. He learned a lot from Marie’s story and changed his focus from career and money to the best possible entertainment. His recent solo tour already went into that direction.
When asked about a new album, Per reveals that they plan to go into the studio in the autumn. Both look forward to spend a lot of time with each other again, to be creative. If this studio time leads to good new songs they will be released. If they fail, the songs will never be mentioned again…

So I’m glad they aim for more than some mediocre filler tracks! They want to reach the best Roxette standards again. And I got a feeling, they will succeed! Marie and Per seem to have some hunger again. How about you?
