ABOUT THE RECORD Look Sharp!, by the Swedish pop duo Roxette became an international hit, reaching No. 23 on the Billboard 200 and spawning the No. 1 singles The Look and Listen to Your Heart. Because of the worldwide success of the album and its singles, Look Sharp! is considered as Roxette's breakthrough. The album has sold over 9 million copies worldwide. Despite huge popularity initially, in their homeland Roxette were still unknown globally. Everything changed when the third single The Look was released in Sweden. It was while studying in Sweden, that an American exchange student from Minneapolis, Dean Cushman, heard The Look, and brought a copy of Look Sharp! home for the 1988 holiday break. He gave the album to a Minneapolis radio station. The station started playing The Look and based on positive caller feedback, the song became very popular, and quickly spread to other radio stations. The song became a radio hit before any Roxette music had been commercially released or promoted in the US market. The story was covered by radio, newspapers and TV in the US and in Sweden. By 2009 Look Sharp! has sold over 9 million copies worldwide including over 1 million copies in US alone, which gave the album platinum certification by RIAA. It is also the second best selling album in Swedish music history (only behind ABBA's Arrival) where it held the top spot for 14 weeks and has gone 6x platinum. Dressed for Success and Dangerous were also hit singles from the album.
