In 1983, spell to the highest degree of the stria members were doing their military service, Gessle released his self-titled solo debut, but it didn't come close to the winner of Gyllene Tider.

In deuce age, they had become one of Sweden's to the highest degree popular groups, and in another year they reached routine one on the American charts for the number one time.

The next twelvemonth, Gessle released his third solo album, which was the first one in English, this metre backed by members of Gyllene Tider and Brainpool. The record album, called The World According to Per Gessle, didn't sell well even at home, simply proved that Gessle hadn't got all caught up in recipe at a time when Roxette had started to feel pretty outdated. The undermentioned two albums by the group did slight to change that impression.
