ROXETTE HITS! (CD)
The year of 1986, Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson decided to record the dance pop single 'Neverending Love'. They called themselves Roxette and it was the beginning of an amazing career which now spans 20 years! To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, 'Roxette Hits!' has just been released. It includes all their major hits and two brand new recordings - 'One Wish' and 'Reveal'. Also just released is a special limited edition version of 'Roxette Hits!' which includes a bonus DVD of all their clips (except the two newly recorded songs). Roxette's 20th Anniversary is also highlighted with the release of 'The RoxBox 86-06', a special treat for true fans who "thought they had everything". 'The RoxBox 86-06' includes 4CD's featuring all the hit singles and best album tracks, two new songs, rare recordings, demos, and much more. Included in the box set is also a 3 hour plus DVD with all their videos and the previously unreleased complete Roxette MTV Unplugged TV show. Roxette have sold over 45 million albums and 25 million singles since their international debut in 1989. During their extensive worldwide tours, Roxette have visited every corner of the world, performing to more than two million people, including Australia. Their singles have topped every chart in the world including the US Billboard Hot 100, where they've had four #1's: 'The Look', 'Listen To Your Heart', 'It Must Have Been Love' and 'Joyride'. Furthermore, two of their songs reached #2 on the same chart: 'Dangerous' and 'Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)'. Locally, 'The Look', 'It Must Have Been Love' and 'Joyride' all hit the #1 spot on the national ARIA Chart while 'Dressed For Success' peaked at #3. In 2005, Per Gessle was honoured by the American music publishing organisation BMI with an award for four million airplays of 'It Must Have Been Love' from the classic movie 'Pretty Woman'. Four million spins, on US radio alone, equals 36 years of non-stop airplay. 'Listen To Your Heart' is also moving into the finer parlors. Later this year, Per will receive another prestigious BMI Award for more than 3 million airplays of 'Listen To Your Heart'. In 2002 Roxette was struck by tragedy when Marie Fredriksson was diagnosed with cancer. After extensive treatment and rehabilitation, Marie is now fully recovered and slowly getting back to recording and performing again. Don't bore us - get to the chorus. This is ultimate Roxette! 'Roxette Hits!' is out now.
