Roxette- a Swedish pop group- they certainly weren’t Abba- although they did have great success over a short few years in the US. They had three other #1’s ‘Listen To Your Heart’, ‘It Must Have Been Love’ and ‘Joyride’ Marie Fredericksson died in 2019 and the band then disbanded- they had been active until then- even though the hits in the US had long dried up.
