Ian wrote:Stina has consistantly sold around 50000 of every album except And She Closed Her Eyes which sold about 125000 to date.

This is the answer I got from Ian after asking him for the salesfigures of Stina's album.

pgss: That little!

I'm actually surprised to learn that. Oh and it's not a thing of popularity. I mean in the Swedish music industry. Stina has a lot of people having her back i think.

Dani?l, that information was given by Ian. So it must be true.

pgss: Yeah I suppose so. I mean, I was actually surprised. Her albums are sold all over the world, everywhere I see her name it's next to some kind of praise... and yet she hasn't sold that many copies. It's astounding.

Thanks for all your work on the translations,daniel.....the revealing text makes fascinating reading.

I'm glad to read that Stina and Emma are communicating once again.

Hopefully a musical collaboration might be on the cards?

Well done Daniel! Fascinating read! One tiny typo-'chock' should be 'shock'.Otherwise it sounds like very natural English.You have a gift for translation!

Thanks!!!

Is that the only fault you found? I am going to proof-read it once again later and I would really appreciate view-points from all of you.

"Would her status be any lower had she been sitting there in our TV-screens chatting about the time she lost her driver?s licence or about how it felt when Sarah Brightman did a cover of ?Little Star?? Probably. "

Did Sonic get it wrong? - Sarah Brightman did a cover of Murder in Mairyland Park, not Little Star.

While reading this interview one word kept coming up in my mind: acceptance.
I feel that Stina is accepting things as they are, realising it brought her where is is now. And she seems rather happy with where she is now. She's not running from her own past but dealing with it. I like that about her.

Acceptance is our only weapon in the face of the unacceptable!
