TV spots for “Radio” and “Charm School” in Germany

by

Advertising spots for Roxette’s new single “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)” and the album “Charm School” are broadcasted on Germany’s TV channels ProSieben, Sat1 and Kabel1. The longer spot (seen below) features audio snippets of the single and the album track “Speak To Me”. The speaker reminds of Roxette’s big successes and informs about the new CD release dates on January 28 and February 11, 2011. There’s another spot for the single only. And then we heard the channels are using the single also for show trailers. Looks like a full marketing package!

Update: Here’s the shorter single-only spot…

… and a cooperation spot by the TV channel.

Enjoy! 🙂

EMI Taiwan: Full song countdown on Facebook starting this Friday

by

According to EMI Taiwan’s (now called Gold Typhoon) blog one full “Charm School” song per day will be put on Roxette’s official Facebook page for preview, starting on January 28!

Thanks our reader Yu Ho for the tip! If you readers from Asia and other regions which are hard to monitor for a European find more news, official charts or other interesting info, please tell us!

Update January 27: It’s just about “beautiful snippets”, not full songs.

Update January 28: Yu Ho got to now the following: “EMI Taiwan explained that the notification they got said “a new track” each day, and they translated it into “??” [Chinese signs] on the blog. That was why I said full length in my comment on RXB.”

Roxette to perform on German television show “Die Ultimative Chart-Show”

by

On March 4th, Roxette will perform on another German TV show as EMI Germany confirmed this morning. The show is called “Die Ultimative Chart-Show” and is broadcast on RTL.

The show is nothing but a chart show coming with a certain motto and will be recorded on February 22th in Cologne. Roxette will play their latest single “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)”. Motto of the show is “the most famous synthiepop songs of all times”.

Tickets are still available HERE.

Additional info: The Chart-Show had between 3 and 3.5 million viewers in the last season. Normally the episodes get broadcast again after some months or even years. The show’s concept is a song countdown with videoclips based on the German charts/sales according to the motto. Some celebrities are talking and commenting the songs on a couch, while a couple of show acts perform on stage. Always one of the old charting hits, sometimes a new one as well. Sometimes playback, sometimes live.

Update 28-01-2011: both the broadcast and the recording dates haven’t been 100% confirmed by the production company. We will let you know as soon as we have this confirmation.
