The rest of the music industry is also flooding the market with recycled products, including rereleases, “special editions” and other gimmicks. The list includes everything from a recent reissue of nearly two dozen old Rolling Stones albums to EMI Group PLC’s upcoming “Roxette: The Ballad Hits,” by a Swedish band that most people know as a short-lived 1980s act.

I agree, their international career was really shortlived in the eighties... it only lasted a year...

Even by ignorant american standards, how can anybody rate Roxette as an 80s band? They just scratched that century...

their international career last 88 89 90 91 92 so where does that equal one year?

@coyboyusa: I think you missed my (lame) joke... their eighties career internationally lasted only a year, i.e., 1989 - then it was the nineties (and that’s when they sold the other 30-odd million albums they sold, so the article is just absurd).
