1. Reveal

   Reveal is a song by Swedish pop music duo Roxette, released on 10 January 2007 as the final single from the duo's fourth greatest hits compilation album, A Collection of Roxette Hits: Their 20 Greatest Songs! (2006). Gessle was reportedly unhappy with the original album version of the track, so a slightly remixed single version was created, incorporating a re-recorded middle 8. Two other remixes were also created: one by Swedish house duo The Attic, and another by record producer Kleerup. "Reveal" became the duo's 35th and – as of 2017 – final song to enter the Swedish Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 59. It failed to chart elsewhere.
