'''''Don't Bore Us – Get to the Chorus! Roxette's Greatest Hits''''' is the first [[greatest hits album|greatest hits]] [[compilation album]] by Swedish [[Pop music|pop]] duo [[Roxette]], released on 30 October 1995 by [[EMI]]. The record contains the duo's four number ones from the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart: "[[The Look]]", "[[Listen to Your Heart (Roxette song)|Listen to Your Heart]]", "[[It Must Have Been Love]]" and "[[Joyride (Roxette song)|Joyride]]", and a further two which reached number two on the chart: "[[Dangerous (Roxette song)|Dangerous]]" and "[[Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)]]".<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/369191/Roxette/chart?f=379 |title=''Billboard'' - Roxette - Chart History - Hot 100 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]] |access-date=28 May 2017}}</ref> It also includes four newly recorded tracks, three of which were released as singles: "[[You Don't Understand Me]]", "[[June Afternoon]]" and "[[She Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]". The album's title is based on a quote from [[Motown]]-founder [[Berry Gordy]].<ref name="AM"/>

The album was an immediate commercial success, selling over 2 million copies worldwide within 2 months of release. As of 2001, the compilation has sold in excess of 6 million copies worldwide. The record would not be released in the [[United States]] until 26 September 2000. This edition featured different cover art and consisted of an altered track listing—it excluded singles which were never released in the US, and included two singles from their then-most recent album, ''[[Have a Nice Day (Roxette album)|Have a Nice Day]]'' (1999).

==Background and recording==
Roxette recorded four new songs for the compilation, three of which went on to be issued as commercial singles. "[[You Don't Understand Me]]" was released in October 1995 as the compilation's [[lead single]] internationally.<ref name="RoxDiscog">{{cite book |last=Thorselius|first=Robert |title=The Look for Roxette: The Illustrated Worldwide Discography & Price Guide|edition=1st|date=May 2003|publisher=Premium Förlag Publishing |location=Sweden|isbn=978-9197189484}}</ref> It was co-written by [[Per Gessle]] with American composer [[Desmond Child]], and was originally intended for submission to other recording artists. However, Gessle was so pleased with the song that he asked [[Marie Fredriksson]] to record the vocals. In the album's [[liner notes]], Gessle described it as the first Roxette song to be written by an "outsider".<ref name="liner"/> In the United Kingdom, a remixed version of "[[The Look]]" – titled "[[The Look '95]]" – was released in November as the album's lead single there, where it peaked at number 28.<ref name="UK"/> This remixed version does not appear on the album.<ref name="RoxDiscog"/>

"[[June Afternoon]]" and "[[She Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]" were released as subsequent singles.<ref name="RoxDiscog"/> Both songs were predominantly recorded with members of Gessle's former band [[Gyllene Tider]].<ref name="liner"/> The former would go on to become a top 40 hit in Belgium,<ref name="Flanders"/> Sweden,<ref name="Sweden"/> and Switzerland,<ref name="Switzerland"/> while the latter charted in the lower regions of the [[German Singles Chart]].<ref name="Germany"/> The remaining new song, "I Don't Want to Get Hurt", was issued as a [[promotional single]] in Brazil, and became a sizable airplay hit there after it was predominantly featured in a Brazilian [[telenovela]]. Also included on the compilation are two previously released non-album singles: "[[It Must Have Been Love]]" and "[[Almost Unreal]]", from the soundtracks of [[Pretty Woman (soundtrack)|''Pretty Woman'']] (1990) and [[Super Mario Bros. (film)#Soundtrack|''Super Mario Bros.'']] (1993), respectively.<ref name="RoxDiscog"/>

Bryan Buss of [[AllMusic]] said that the album "exhibits what pop masters Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson are,&nbsp;...&nbsp;[they have] crafted some of the best tunes of the '80s and '90s." He described every song as a [[Gemstone|gem]], and said: "Even with the [[1990s in music|pop renaissance of the late '90s]], no one picked up where Roxette left off. This is a comprehensive collection of great contemporary music from overlooked and underrated pros."<ref name="AM"/> A 2016 feature in ''[[Renowned for Sound]]'' praised the record as being the "definitive greatest hits record to own above all other hits collections over the last 30 years." Editor Brendon Veevers described the new songs as "some of the bands finest work."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://renownedforsound.com/index.php/featured-artist-roxette/ |title=Renowned for Sound {{!}} Featured Artist: Roxette |author=Brendon Veevers |website=[[Renowned for Sound]] |date=30 May 2016 |access-date=28 May 2017}}</ref> Ronny Olovsson from Swedish publication ''[[Aftonbladet]]'' also complimented the new songs, calling them "just as strong [melodically]" as their biggest hit singles, but claimed that the [[Sound design|production]] on their earlier material had aged badly.<ref name="afton"/>

In a review of the 2000 US version of the album, ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' said: "It's ironic how some acts just rack up hit after hit, seemingly under the radar of pop culture. It's also interesting to note how easy it is to take such acts for granted. During its early-'90s heyday, no one took Roxette seriously. And yet the masses happily consumed one tasty treat after another—as evidenced by this compilation." Commenting on the performance of "[[Wish I Could Fly]]" at US radio, they opined: "[Do Roxette] still have the golden touch? If ["Wish I Could Fly"] is an accurate indicator, the answer is resoundingly positive.&nbsp;...&nbsp;It looks like Roxette will be adding to that pile of much-deserved (if [[guilty pleasure]]) hits."<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NBAEAAAAMBAJ&q=roxette+don%27t+bore+us+review&pg=PA25 |title=Vital Reissues {{!}} Roxette - Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus: Roxette's Greatest Hits |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=30 September 2000 |volume=112 |issue=40 |page=25 |issn=0006-2510}}</ref>

These were replaced by the fifth and final single from their third studio album ''[[Joyride (Roxette album)|Joyride]]'' (1991), "[[Church of Your Heart]]"—which reached number 36 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] in 1992;<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1992-04-04 |title=Music: Top 100 Songs {{!}} Billboard Hot 100 Chart |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=4 April 1992 |access-date=28 May 2017}}</ref> as well as two singles from their then-most recent album, ''[[Have a Nice Day (Roxette album)|Have a Nice Day]]'' (1999): "[[Stars (Roxette song)|Stars]]" and "[[Wish I Could Fly]]".<ref name="RoxDiscog"/> The latter had reached number 24 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s [[Adult Contemporary (chart)|Adult Contemporary]] and number 40 on [[Adult Pop Songs]].<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/369191/Roxette/chart?f=341 |title=''Billboard'' - Roxette - Chart History - Adult Contemporary |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=28 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/369191/Roxette/chart?f=343 |title=''Billboard'' - Roxette - Chart History - Adult Pop Songs |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=28 May 2017}}</ref>
