More on Look Sharp!
Description from Wikipedia:
Look Sharp! is the second studio album by the Swedish pop and rock duo Roxette. It was recorded at EMI Studios in Stockholm between March and June 1988 and at Trident II Studios in London in June 1988. The album was released on October 19, 1988, two years after their debut Pearls of Passion, and, unlike its predecessor which wasn't successful anywhere except Sweden, became a worldwide bestseller. Look Sharp! is often considered as Roxette's breakthrough.
"The Look", "Chances", "Dressed for Success", "Listen to Your Heart" and "Dangerous" were released as singles. In native Sweden, "Dressed for Success" and "Listen to Your Heart" were chosen as the first two singles, as Gessle and EMI Svenska chose to highlight Fredriksson's singing. The singles reached #2 and #3 on Swedish chart respectively. But despite huge popularity in their homeland Roxette were still unknown globally. Everything changed when the third single The Look was released in Sweden. While studying in Sweden, an American exchange student from Minneapolis, Dean Cushman, heard "The Look", then one of the most frequently played songs on radio (peaked at #6), and thought it was great so brought a copy of Look Sharp! home for the 1988 holiday break.
