Another favorable review of “Hits!” in the US
FORT MYERS - Written by Mark Marymont for NewsPress.com, Southwest Florida.
Roxette "Their 20 Greatest Songs" (Capitol/EMI)
This Swedish duo scored more than a dozen international hits between 1989 and '99. Featuring the strong vocals of Marie Fredriksson and the writing, producing and singing skills of Per Gessle, they specialized in glossy, danceable pop. This two-disc set includes 18 of their most popular songs — i.e. "The Look," "Joyride," "Listen To Your Heart" — and a couple of new works on one CD. An accompanying DVD sports 18 stylish videos. It's all a bit dated, but still a strong chronicle of their hit-making acumen.

It’s a bit strange that It Must Have Been Love isn’t mentioned. Anyway, a great review!
