This CD and DVD combination set features 20 hits and accompanying videos by the 1990s Swedish pop phenomenon Roxette, including the duo's first international hit, "The Look," the Abba-like "It Must Have Been Love," and the vintage pop tribute of "Crash! Boom! Bang!," which is a ringer for the '60s Bacharach-David hit, "Anyone Who Had a Heart." The genius of Per Gessle, Roxette's primary songwriter, who seems to just toss out smash hits with devil-may-care nonchalance, lies in his casual pop brilliance.

Capitol's Collection of Roxette Hits: Their 20 Greatest Songs collects 12 album tracks, a couple of remixes, four singles, and two new cuts ("Reveal" and "One Wish") that dutifully sum up the hook-filled careers of Swedish pop masters Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Longtime fans who balked at the group's mammoth six-disc box set (Roxbox 1981-2006) will find this concise and impossibly catchy compilation a whole lot easier to digest, both cerebrally and monetarily. ~ James Christopher Monger
