Deluxe two CD edition includes a bonus 12 track live CD. 2011 album from the Swedish Pop duo. After 25 years as a world-famous act with 70 million albums sold, one of Sweden's biggest pop groups steps back into the spotlight with 12 songs that are best described as "updated classic Roxette". The chances that this would ever happen looked slim when Marie Fredriksson in the autumn of 2002 was diagnosed with a brain tumor. But Marie managed to defeat the illness, and during 2009, the pieces gradually fell together. The album's first single is the extremely infectious groove-master "She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)". Charm School has everything that has made Roxette one of the world's most played Pop groups; the clinging melodies, the passionate delivery, the humorous pop sense and the unique mix of Marie Fredriksson's and Per Gessle's voices.
