SourceOffsetEquivalent ASongsSpreadConfidence
CD, Roxette Recordings/Capitol (2012)+0.4 ¢A 440.115−2.0 to +2.7 ¢High
 Offset from concert pitch (A 440). Spread: the middle half of the songs, when four or more share the album's pitch. Confidence: how well the notes agree with one grid.

Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Studio songs mixed with recordings from the road: Stars is a 2011 soundcheck in Dubai, She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio) was recorded live in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, and It Must Have Been Love comes from the 2009 Night of the Proms shows in Rotterdam. Every song sits within 5 cents of A 440.
