  mmh, well, what's the use of this page? just for promotional purposes? It probably will be forgotten within the next 12 months, I think. Nice, however...

  UK promotion for Story Of A Heart is the name of the game Alexander!

  So will Benny hit No 1 in the UK after the free concert and all the publicity ?

  Ahem, after all what happened in the last few days, I believe the No 1 spot (and no 2 and no 3...)will be taken by Micael Jackson ?!
  
  But on Amazon UK, Story of a Heart is doing quite well since weeks on the forthcoming releases charts, amazing!!
  
  I don't believe that this concert will trigger much album sales, but I dont care, I will have a wonderfull evening there anyway!

  I really don't care if BAB sells 10,000 cds or a million of them.
  
  I don't know about you, but I no longer rely on chart positions and record sales to somehow validate my choice of whose music I love and buy.
  
  While I'd be thrilled if BAB DID become really popular with the general public, it wouldn't bother me at all if they didn't.
  
  Back in ABBA's day, I was really proud when they sold a lot or got to number one. These days, though, I don't place much importance on that kind of thing.
  
  I've matured, I suppose. I love what I love regardless of public reaction to the object of my fandom.
  
  (In fact, I'm sometimes proud to be in the minority these days - with BAB, it's almost like a well-kept secret that only we Benny Andersson fans are "in on". It's also strangely delicious to be able to count myself a member of a "select" group of fans, I think!)
