1988年,一位到瑞典唸書的美國交換學生,將「The Look」帶回美國提供電台播放,讓當時成就還僅限於母國瑞典,尚未打進國際市場的Roxette一夕爆紅,開啟未來叱吒全球的大門!以流暢好記的旋律,配置Per Gessle和Marie Fredriksson男女對唱或獨唱方式演繹,佐入大量吉他或鋼琴伴奏,成為繼ABBA、Europe之後,在80年代末期崛起的瑞典國寶級樂團!締造全球超過7500萬張的唱片銷售量,多達19座獎項加冕,Roxette還是第一支受邀參加MTV Unplugged演出的非英語國家樂團!
年輕時期受到David Bowie影響的Per Gessle,和小時候能唱出如同Olivia Newton-John甜美嗓音的Marie Fredriksson,兩人雖然音樂起源不盡相同,但都是不折不扣的搖滾客!各自累積豐富歌壇資歷後,在唱片公司的建議下,Per與Marie於1986年正式成立Roxette,造成全球性的大成功,穩坐超級樂團銷售保證地位。在台灣,許多玩團做場時的翻唱名單中,也必定出現Roxette的歌曲,很能煽動氣氛、引起共鳴點。這張匯集30首超級暢銷金曲精選,帶領大家一起重溫Roxette的音樂輝煌史!CD1收錄:一戰成名登上24國冠軍的「The Look」;Marie求好心切下引發許多爭執,一再修改而完成美國第14名的「Dressed For Success」;蟬聯美國雙週亞軍的「Dangerous」;賣座電影【麻雀變鳳凰】主題曲「It Must Have Been Love」;搶攻英國Top13的帶High現場必殺曲「How Do You Do!」;寫下英國Top11+美國成人抒情榜#27的「Wish I Could Fly」;曾發行過西班牙文版在歐洲與南美洲大受歡迎的「Spending My Time」;電影【超級瑪莉】主題曲「Almost Unreal」;美國亞軍抒情紅歌「Fading Like A Flower」;原本是Per個人專輯之作,最後成為Roxette轟動歐洲排行紅歌「June Afternoon」!
CD4珍藏:拿下美國冠軍,並成為Toyota Corolla廣告曲的「Joyride」;瑞典金唱片冠軍曲「Sleeping In My Car」;美國冠軍,更是【1989年25首最佳銷售單曲】之一的「Listen To Your Heart」;快速奔入英國金榜#27的「Run To You」;瑞典再次金唱片入袋的「Stars」;霸佔瑞典4週冠軍的白金銷售「The Centre Of The Heart (Is A Suburb To The Brain)」;和入籍【創作名人堂】的Desmond Child合寫之「You Don't Understand Me」;2011年復出的主打「She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)」,攀入睽違多時的美國成人抒情榜Top30;就連僅發單曲,沒有收在任何一張專輯的「The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye」,也首度曝光典藏。Roxette陪伴許多人的成長記憶,感動依舊蔓延…..
