Details: Amazon.caImagine a poppier Pat Benatar fronting a more dance-oriented Berlinbig vocals, big beats, big guitars–and you’re just about there. Like fellow Swedes ABBA in the 1970s and A-Ha in the 1980s, platinum pixie Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle generate a bright, glossy sound that transcends borders. In 20 years, they’ve sold 45 million albums and 25 million singles, including four number ones. A Collection of Roxette Hits overlooks their 1986 debut Pearls of Passion and 1997’s Baladas en Espaol in favor of their biggest international triumphs. All told: 12 album cuts, four singles, two remixes (« Dressed for Success » and « It Must Have Been Love »), and two new tracks (« One Wish » and « Reveal »). There are no real surprises, but Roxette has a few tricks up their shiny sleeves, like the harmonica solo in « Dangerous » (1988’s Look Sharp!) and the children’s chorus on « Stars » (1999’s Have a Nice Day). This hook-filled collection is a fine overview for both old and new fans alike. –Kathleen C.
