So we don't have a thread about Roxette, one of my favorite bands. I'll try to post news, and updates about them.

"It Just happens" is their new single for "Good Karma". They've released a music video to the song, too. You may see a review here of it. Their album is set to be released the first week of June 2016.

You can order their new album here. We've got most of the lyrics transcribed already for the album. Yippie!

The single is already out and their album is being released on Friday June 3rd, 2016. In USA, I doubt it's available, probably will have to buy it online here - from their official website. I believe it's on Amazon, too. We have all the lyrics listed - not sure if it's 100% correct, but Ray, Aisha and I tried our hardest.

The USA market usually gets screwed, so I'm happy to say you can stream it on Spotify and buy it on Amazon.

Roxette released their third single - Why Don't You Bring Me Flowers? with many fan clips.

So - Snap went and added featuring Per Gessle on some of the songs. What's going on?

Ray | 22-03-2017 13:16

If you are sure Per Gessle isn't feature, sure, removed Per Gessle from the song.

Is there perhaps another version of the song featuring Per Gessle? If so, then a new song can be added with the same title but where now Per Gessle is featured.

I think the issue is that because Per Gessle is a member of Roxette, he shouldn't be credited as a featured artist. I notice Snap does this a lot - if it finds a "featured" artist in merely one source, then it'll add it to a bunch of songs. It's extremely annoying. It's done it to several songs by artists I moderate repeatedly, and I've seen it do it to plenty of other artists, as well.

A good example is this - Snap created over 60 songs in Daryl Hall's archive that are credited as his own songs featuring John Oates. This is incorrect and all of those songs belong under Hall & Oates.

Snap just loves to go crazy adding featured artists, and 90% of the time, it's wrong. Perhaps this is something to look into because hardly ever have I seen it add a correct featured artist. I'm not sure where it gets this data half the time.

Hi Ray! He's a member of the band so it's a little silly to say "featuring" because he's already given credit for the words and music. Also, none of the albums say that. So I guess I was correct to say - just remove the featuring part.

roxcyn | 23-03-2017 03:43

Update - it looks like he did it for every song on "Room Service" - weird. Also, I noticed he has submitted duplicate songs that are already on file. Ugh! Snap - we love you, but hate you.

MCSMeister | 23-03-2017 14:41

Yeah, Snap has been annoying me a lot lately. He keeps changing/adding stuff to my artists, and more often than not, it's incorrect or a duplicate.

roxcyn | 04-08-2017 09:51

Snap back at it again adding featuring. And he changing videos to the wrong song.
