Official videos are moved to Roxette YouTube channel

by

You probably remember when in May 2014 suddenly almost all official Roxette videos were set to private on EMI’s YouTube channel. It was quite weird, because even Per posted ”We are just as surprised as you are!!! However…we’re working on it!!!! /P.” It wasn’t only Roxette that faced the issue. Many other bands had the same problem during those times. We were afraid the vids and their view counts would get lost, since it seemed that the handover between EMI and Warner didn’t include the videos on YouTube. Fortunately, 2 months later the videos were set back to public.

Then in March 2015 the videos disappeared again. Some days later the official Roxette YouTube channel was set up and Marie & Per invited us in a lovely welcome video to subscribe. At the same time, all videos were set back to public, but still on emimusic channel.

Now it seems a great solution could be found to move all official videos from emimusic channel to Roxette channel with having the same link to the videos and not losing the view counts either. Well done!!!

1 month ago It Must Have Been Love reached 100 million views and now it’s over 106 million. Pure awesomeness! Keep on watching the videos, Roxers!

Hopefully, there will be new content, too. How about a new video clip? Maybe to the new single? Let’s see what happens!

Roxette’s official videos disappearing again?

by

Almost a year ago there was an issue with Roxette’s official videos disappearing for a while from YouTube. Only 6 big hits were kept online that time. It was a consequence of the EMI – Warner Music merge and back then it seemed no one was really prepared for the fact that emimusic channel on YouTube might not work after EMI is not existing anymore. The issue got solved in about 2 months and the missing videos were set back on YouTube at the same channel.

Roxette_videos_emimusic_YTNow it happened again. Some official videos, e.g. Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love, Joyride, Dangerous are set to private on emimusic channel. The last time Per shared IMHBL (March 4th) and LTYH (5th March) on Roxette’s Facebook page, the videos were still available. Will they be back with their millionaire view counts?

Other artists are facing the same issue, so it’s again not something uniquely related to Roxette, but still it’s quite annoying.

In the meantime, Warner Music Sweden is uploading many videos from the past. As per what we, Roxers are mostly interested in among them are mainly Marie Fredriksson videos, as well as a few Per Gessle vids. It’s lovely to see all those gems, but also funny to see Marie’s Tro got a new, interesting title from Warner, Sweetwater. Whatever it is and wherever it is coming from. 😉 They will surely correct it soon.

Roxette’s VEVO channel is still existing and many videos are still available at emimusic channel, but it would be great to get back all the other videos, too. Fingers crossed for it being solved this time for a longer period (forever maybe?) than just for another year.

 

Update on 21st March: When Roxette’s official YouTube channel was announced yesterday, the official videos were set back to public. Yay!
