In 1987, prior to writing and recording of their follow up album, the pair released the song “It Must Have been Love (Christmas For The Broken Hearted)” which returned them to the top five in their home country.īy August 1988 they were ready to release new music and premiered the song “Dressed For Success” making No.2 and followed this at Christmas with the power ballad “Listen To Your Heart” which made No.3. Both tracks came from their debut album “Pearls Of Passion” which got as far as No.2 in Sweden. The following year they released their debut single “Neverending Love” which made No.3 in Sweden and followed this with “Goodbye To You” which reached No.9.

I said ‘hello’, Roxette, where are you now? C’mon join the joyride, be a joyrider! Roxette: purveyors of power pop for over thirty years, they got “The Look”, there were “Dressed For Success” and we fell for them…”It Must Have Been Love”! Per Gessle (born 1959) and Maria Fredriksson (born 1958) formed Roxette in 1986 and have gone on to sell over 75 million records worldwide including four US number one singles and five consecutive multi Platinum selling albums.
