“The Look” #1 in the US - 20 years ago
Written by Ivanych on March 28, 2009 to Roxette.
On the evening of March 28, 1989, the telephone rang at Per Gessle's home in Halmstad. When Per answered, Roxette's manager Thomas Erdtman screamed down the other end that "The Look" was #1 on the U.S. Billboard chart!
Swedish radio P4 Retro celebrated the occasion with an hour of Roxette Special with a few rare demos!

I listen to pop music extensively lately and the fact is, that NO other song compares to “The Look” - it still sounds like it was written only an hour ago.
So fresh and unique... It’s a song most bands dream about, I can tell you that. Then I’m not even mentioning “Joyride” - but that’s a whole other story.... Ha ha ha

In swedish, so i had no idea what was being said. But there was an interview with Rox. Would be nice to know when that was done, and maybe a transcript?
