Awful. So young. I knew she was sick but you’re never prepared for this. Roxette had some great tunes, love “Joyride”, “Fading Like A Flower”, “Spending My Time”, “It Must Have Been Love”, “The Look”, “Listen To Your Heart”, “Dressed For Success”...all hits. So sad. She had a great voice. She will be missed. RIP.

Looks like Marie's musical Joyride has finally come to an end. Sad, and died young.
R.I.P., Marie.
The only songs by Roxette I enjoy are "Joyride" and "The Look".

I've loved their music since they hit radio airwaves here in the States. And in 2016, I downloaded their album "Good Karma". Lots of radio-worthy gems on there. Reminds me a lot of their early stuff.
RIP, Marie...and to you and Per, to quote ABBA, "Thank you for the music."

Roxette is one of my favorites. I went through and played my favorite songs of theirs today.
I compiled selections from AT40 with Shadoe where Marie was featured:

Although I lost interest in Roxette over the years, I used to love all six of their #1 and #2 hits, and they were probably one of the earliest (if not the first) music acts that I really liked.

Roxette, along with ABBA and Ace of Base, are perhaps the biggest Swedish acts to ever chart on Billboard.

I'd say Roxette wins the battle of Sweden: ABBA: 14 Top 40 hits, One #1 (Dancing Queen) Roxette: 9 Top 40 hits, Four #1s (The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love, Joyride), Two #2's (Dangerous, Fading Like A Flower) Ace Of Base: 7 Top 40 Hits, Three #1s (All That She Wants, The Sign, Don't Turn Around - only on AT40s Mainstream Chart) I think Shadoe told some story about how Roxette and ABBA had their first number ones on the same date in April? "The Look" had two hit remixes also: |

"The Look" had two hit remixes also: Ironically, you can add Blue Swede; they also hit #1 on the very same weekend in April as ABBA and Roxette. Shadoe told the story of the amazing coincidence in the 4/8/1989 show. |
