According to EMI Germany’s “Travelling” press release sent out to various media outlets, Roxette’s comeback album “Charm School” got the platinum certification for more than 200.000 sales in Germany. The album already got the gold award in spring 2011. Hurray!

TV Promotion in the works!
It looks like Roxette will promote the new album on the Swiss TV show “Benissimo“‘s 100th anniversary. The show will be aired March 24, 20:05 CET. Probably a sign for more TV appearances to come, right?
There will be sights of Roxette on German TV with no doubt since TRAVELLING will be released under the same label/TV channel cooperation as CHARM SCHOOL, which was promoted with numerous TV spots.
Thanks to Cathérine Frei and Roxette Café for finding out!
Australian TV report
Australian TV program Sunrise had a Roxette story in their morning show:
“Run To Roxette” forums closing due to inactivity
After many years as one of the biggest Roxette fan communities “Run To Roxette” announced the closing of it’s forums today:
Hi there,
Due to the growth of social networks, we’ll close the R2R forum on january 1st, so please save the messages, contacts and pictures that you want. We can keep in contact thought the Facebook page.Facebook fan page: facebook.com/RunToRoxette
Twitter: twitter.com/RunToRoxetteRegards,
The Run to Roxette Team.
The decrease of activity on the forums was clearly visible in the last months, when more and more Roxers concentrated their activity on social networks instead of the classical communities. After so many years it feels a bit sad though.
What do you think, can networks like Facebook replace the whole package of a dedicated fan community?
More tour dates: Amsterdam and Kaiserslautern!
More and more Roxette tour dates for 2012 get leaked. Today it was Amsterdam, Netherlands on June 29 and Kaiserslautern, Germany on June 30. Here Roxette and Sunrise Avenue will perform at a big anniversary party in a soccer arena. Watch out for more!
