“It Must Have Been Love” covered, twice


The tremendously popular Roxette track that went all the way to #1 in the U.S. in 1990, "It Must Have Been Love," has been covered by no less than two artists lately. One of them being the British Idol version - The X Factor - runners-up Journey South who has done an acoustic version that's included on their debut album "Journey South." The album was released last week and went straight into #1 in the UK with more than 225,000 units sold. It's expected to stay at #1 (or #2) another week at least.

  Shirley Clamp is the other artist that has covered the song, although her version will be in Swedish when it's released in April. "The song has been wonderfully translated into 'När kärleken föds' ('When Love is Born') by Ingela 'Pling' Forsman." Shirley, who indeed is Swedish in spite of her name, will release a new album in April where she covers, or interprets, her favorite songs.

  Other artists TDR knows of recording IMHBL include Polly Esther, Digital Bitch, The Chipmunks and Sanne Salomonsen.
