After the great popularity of "It Must Have Been Love" single and enormous sales of ''Look Sharp!'', ''Joyride'' became just as successful, spawning the #1 hit "Joyride", which topped the charts in the US and Australia. ==Album information== "Joyride", "Fading Like a Flower", "The Big L.", "Spending My Time", and "Church of Your Heart" were released as singles. A promotional music video was made for "(Do you Get) Excited?", as it was considered for single release too. The album featured a new re-recorded version of "Soul Deep", which was more synthesiser-driven and with fewer guitars (the original version appeared on their 1986 album ''Pearls of Passion''). In some releases, "I Remember You" was an additional track on the album, bringing the total track count to 15 instead of 14. "Joyride" became Roxette's fourth and last US #1 single.〔 ''Joyride'' immediately became a worldwide best-seller. It held the position of best selling album in Europe for 2 weeks in June 1991, following its debut and peak at #2 on UK charts two months earlier. It was certified 2x platinum by BPI in August 1992 for selling more than 600,000 copies,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPI certifications )〕 after staying on British charts for almost a year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK charts archive )〕 ''Joyride'' reached #12 on the American Billboard Top 200 albums and was certified platinum by the RIAA in July 1991, eventually selling 1.3 million copies there〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ask Billboard section on billboard.com (2005) )〕 and stayed on charts there for over a year.
