Roxette

Roxette is a Swedish pop music duo formed in 1986, consisting of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. The group enjoyed worldwide success from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s, gaining nineteen UK Top 40 hits and four US #1 singles with, "The Look", "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Joyride". Two further singles "Dangerous" and "Fading Like a Flower" hit #2. Finally, "Dressed for Success" was a modest hit in the US peaking at #14. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, their popularity continued in other territories such as Europe and South America, where they earned various Gold and Platinum awards until the beginning of the new millennium. The duo took a break from recording and touring, when in 2002, Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which she later successfully recovered from. Roxette took to the stage together again for the first time in 8 years, in 2009, during Gessle's European Party Crasher tour. Their songs continue to receive radio airplay, with "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart" both recently receiving awards from BMI for achieving four million radio plays. They have sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide, with over 3.5 million record sales in the United States, achieving platinum for Joyride and Look Sharp! there.

Look Sharp! (1988)

Look Sharp! is Roxette's second studio album, released on October 19, 1988. Look Sharp! is often considered as Roxette's breakthrough. Despite having a lot of success in their homeland, they were virtually unknown in the rest of the world. However, everything changed when while studying in Sweden an American exchange student from Minneapolis, Dean Cushman, heard "The Look", and brought a copy of Look Sharp! home for the 1988 holiday break. He gave the album to a Minneapolis radio station, KDWB 101.3 FM. The station started playing "The Look" and based on positive caller feedback, the song became very popular, and quickly spread to other radio stations. The song became a radio hit before any Roxette music had been commercially released or promoted in the US market. The story was covered by radio, newspapers and TV in the US and in Sweden, making for good press for many years, with Gessle telling this as the story which highlighted the beginning of their international success. The album has sold 9 million copies worldwide. The album charted to #1 in Sweden (6 Platinum discs), #23 in the U.S. (Platinum disc) and #4 in the U.K. (Platinum disc) It is also the second best selling album in Swedish music history (only behind ABBA's Arrival). The singles taken from this album were: The Look (#6 Sweden, #7 U.K., #1 U.S.), Dressed for Success (#2 Sweden, #18 U.K., #14 U.S.), Listen to Your Heart (#3 Sweden, #6 U.K., #1 U.S.), Chances, and Dangerous (#9 Sweden, #6 U.K., #2 U.S.).

Tourism (1992)

Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places is Roxette's fourth studio album, released on August 28, 1992. It was recorded mostly during their Join The Joyride world tour and is often mistaken for being a live album. In fact it's a mixture of live and studio tracks. Some tracks were even recorded in hotel rooms and nightclubs. Four live tracks were included in the album, "The Look", "It Must Have Been Love", "Things Will Never be the Same" and "Joyride". While "It Must Have Been Love" didn't appear on a Roxette album until their Greatest hits album Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!, the other three songs did appear on Look Sharp! and Joyride albums. Another three songs were also released before, "So Far Away" was included on their 1986 debut album Pearls of Passion, "Come Back (Before You Leave)" was originally the b-side for the "Joyride" single, while "Silver Blue" originally appeared as a demo version as the b-side for "The Look" single. "Here Comes the Weekend", the album's 11th track, featured some improvisation. As the song was recorded in a hotelroom, a Samsonite suitcase was used instead of drums. The album has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. The album peaked to #1 in Sweden, #117 U.S., #2 U.K (Gold disc). The singles taken from this album were: How Do You Do!

Have a Nice Day (1999)

Have a Nice Day is Roxette's sixth studio album, released on March 9, 1999. This was the first international Roxette release in 4 years and their first brand new studio album since 1994's Crash! Boom! Bang! The album was not released in the U.S. as the duo were no longer signed to a record label there. Additional Spanish language versions of "Wish I Could Fly", "Anyone" and "Salvation" were included as bonus tracks in some Spanish-speaking countries. The track "It Will Take a Long Long Time" was featured in the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere romantic comedy Runaway Bride, though it was not included on the soundtrack album. Have a Nice Day was the first ever Roxette album to feature a track solely written by Marie Fredriksson ("Waiting for the Rain"). The album cover had to be slightly altered for sale in neighboring Arab states as the presence of naked babies on the sleeve was deemed offensive. The success of Have a Nice Day saw Roxette win the 'Highest Selling Scandinavian Act' at the 2000 World Music Awards. For the Awards Gala, Roxette chose to perform lead single "Wish I Could Fly". The album has sold 2,200,000 copies worldwide. The album charted to #1 in Sweden and #3 in the U.K. The singles taken from this album were: Wish I Could Fly (#4 Sweden, #11 U.K.), Anyone (#35 Sweden), Stars (#13 Sweden, #56 U.K.), and Salvation (#46 Sweden).
