Charm School (Roxette album)

Charm School is the eighth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on February 11, 2011. It marked Roxette's return to recording after a decade-long hiatus, prompted by Marie Fredriksson's diagnosis with a brain tumor in 2002. The album was released by EMI and features a collection of pop and rock songs, drawing influence from their earlier work while incorporating contemporary production techniques.

The album's title, Charm School, is meant to reflect Roxette's approach to songwriting and recording. Per Gessle has described the album as a collection of new songs recorded with the energy and enthusiasm of a "charm school" - a place where one hones skills and rediscovers passion.

Several singles were released from the album, including "She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio)," which became a major hit in several European countries. Other singles included "Speak to Me" and "Way Out."

Charm School received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the album's catchy melodies and Fredriksson's vocals. It was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several European album charts and selling well internationally. The album was supported by the Charm School World Tour, which saw Roxette performing in front of large audiences across Europe, South America, and other regions. The tour helped solidify Roxette's comeback and re-establish them as a major force in the pop music scene.
