Big Guy 1,400 Posted December 10, 2019 It's quite sad when anybody dies but other than the 1 hit they had, what's the big deal? I mean I've seen it 20 times today, musically this is quite trivial in the scheme of things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 3,950 Posted December 10, 2019 Really sad. Was always a Roxette fan. They had way more than one hit btw Big Guy. I knew she had been treated previously but thought she was in remission. Didn't know it had returned. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In just the US: 4 - #1s 6 - top #10s 10 - top #40s Also.... CNN Article... https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/10/entertainment/marie-fredriksson-roxette-death-scli-intl/index.html ends with the sentence "Things Will Never Be the Same" --- which is one of their songs, but not a hit.

Big Guy 1,400 Posted December 10, 2019 "Listen to Your Heart" is the only memorable Hit to this avid music fan, and even it is pretty weak. They're up there with the likes of Scandal & Milli Vanilli in my book. Is there some alternate ghey music universe that I'm unaware of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted December 10, 2019 Sorry to hear it. Roxette's songs aren't in my library, but I am aware of several. They're not bad, just not something I seek out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
