Roxette, one of the most rockin’ bands ever, was made up of two of the most rockin’ rockers ever to come from Sweden: Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle.
Their breakthrough album Look Sharp! was a hit in Europe, but wasn’t released in the US until a Swedish exchange student from Minneapolis brought his copy of The Look to KDWB in 1988. The local station started playing the Swedish hit and soon they started making copies for other stations in other cities.
The record company then decided a US release was in order, and the rest is Swedish Rock history.

Yes, that song is totally bangin. But I don’t see it anywhere on the top 40 list.
And I would recommend this version because it includes a giant scary rabbit head.
To be clear, I did say the sirius xm top 40 list.
Ah yes. That is what you said. I remember now.
