From Wiki: a-ha (normally spelled entirely in lower-case) is a rock/pop music band from Norway. The band was founded in 1982 by Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards), and PÃ¥l Waaktaar (guitars). The group initially rose to fame during the mid 1980s after being discovered by musician and producer John Ratcliff and has had continued global success in the 1990s and 2000s. According to their official website, they have sold over 35 million albums worldwide plus more than 25 million singles,[1] making them the best-selling Norwegian music act in history and the third-best-selling act from Scandinavia, after ABBA and Roxette. a-ha achieved their biggest success with their debut album, Hunting High and Low, in 1985. That album peaked at number 1 in their native Norway, number 2 in the UK and number 15 on the U.S. Billboard album chart, yielded two international number-one singles, \"Take on Me\" and \"The Sun Always Shines on T.V.\", and earned the band a Grammy Award nomination as Best New Artist. In the UK, Hunting High and Low continued its chart success into the following year, becoming one of the best-selling albums of 1986.[2] In 1994, after their fifth studio album, the band went on a hiatus. Following a performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 1998, the band returned to the studio and recorded their sixth album, 2000\'s Minor Earth Major Sky, which was another number-one in Norway and resulted in a new tour. A seventh studio album, Lifelines, was released in 2002, and an eighth album, Analogue, in 2005, was certified Silver in the UK â€” their most successful album there since 1990\'s East of the Sun, West of the Moon.[3] Their ninth album, Foot of the Mountain, was first released on 19 June 2009 and returned the band to the UK Top 5 for the first time since 1988, being certified Silver there and Platinum in Germany.[4] The album peaked at number 2 in Norway (their first not to reach number 1 in their home territory). On 15 October 2009, the band announced they would split after a worldwide tour in 2010,[5] the Ending On A High Note tour,[6][7] which will culminate in four farewell shows in Oslo on 30 November, 2, 3 and 4 December 2010. Hunting High & Low 1985 Hunting High and Low is the debut album of the Norwegian New wave band a-ha. Released 1 June 1985 through Warner Bros. Records, the album was a huge commercial success selling more than 10 million units worldwide, peaking at #15 in the United States Billboard 200 and reaching high positions on charts worldwide. The album was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in Twickenham, produced by Tony Mansfield, John Ratcliff and Alan Tarney. In all, five singles from the album were released, though not all were released internationally: \"Take on Me\", \"Love Is Reason\", \"The Sun Always Shines on T.V.\", \"Train of Thought\" and \"Hunting High and Low\". The group was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards in 1986, making a-ha the first Norwegian band to be nominated for a Grammy. As part of a re-release of their first two albums, Hunting High and Low was expanded and remastered in 2010 \"Take on Me\" was the first single released by the band. An early version was recorded and released in late 1984 with an early music video. The song became a #3 hit in a-ha\'s native Norway but failed to chart in the United Kingdom. The band went back into the studio to re-record the song for the Hunting High and Low album, but a second UK release in early 1985 was again ignored. Before releasing their single in the United States, the band undertook the production of a new music video for the song, working with director Steve Barron. Barron had previously created hit videos for Toto, Thomas Dolby, Culture Club and Michael Jackson, but the a-ha video was unlike any of his earlier work. A plot-driven amalgamation of live-action and rotoscope-style animation by husband-and-wife team Michael Patterson and Candace Reckinger, it drew inspiration from Patterson\'s animated film Commuter and the film Altered States. The innovative video for \"Take on Me\" was first broadcast on local Boston music video station V-66, and soon after given heavy rotation on MTV. The single debuted in Billboard the week of July 13, 1985, and was heading into the U.S. top twenty when it was given an international release, including a second release in Norway and a third shot at the UK market. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, spending 27 weeks on the charts and becoming the tenth-biggest single of 1985[2], and this time going to number two in the United Kingdom and number one in Norway. In all, the song reached number one in 36 countries, becoming one of the world\'s best-selling singles of all time with nearly 9 million copies sold. The second single for most of the world was \"The Sun Always Shines on TV\" (\"Love is Reason\" had failed to hit the Norwegian Top 40 earlier in the year), and the band followed its massively successful music video with another critically acclaimed clip for the song. Starting off as a sequel of sorts, Harket breaks away from his happy ending to join his band in performance amidst mannequins at a rural church, Saint Albans in Teddington, which has since become an art gallery. \"The Sun Always Shines on T.V.\" improved upon the first single\'s success in the United Kingdom, hitting number one and remaining there for two weeks in January 1986. It was a top-10 hit nearly everywhere it was released except in the United States, where it peaked at #20 and would be the band\'s last major hit to date in that country. The single sold 5 million copies around the world. The track was remixed as a dance version, which was a top-5 hit on the U.S. Dance chart, and B-side to the single and remix was the otherwise unreleased \"Driftwood.\" \"Train of Thought\" saw limited release as the third single in Europe. It was not released as a 7\" in the United States but received rock radio play and a set of remixes again made the dance charts. Waaktaar based the lyrics for this song on existentialist authors and poets Gunvor Hofmo, Knut Hamsun and Fyodor Dostoevsky, his favourites at the time. It was a-ha\'s third consecutive Top 10 single in the United Kingdom and Ireland, reaching #8 and #5 respectively, and charting well in Germany and Sweden. World sales hit 500,000 copies. The last single from the album was \"Hunting High and Low\", released in June 1986. The single saw its highest chartings in France, where it peaked at number four[3], and the United Kingdom, where it was number five.[4] The single was released in the United States but did not make the Hot 100. An extended version was available on 12\" vinyl, but the midtempo track did not see dance chart success. Coldplay, a band influenced by a-ha, has been known to perform \"Hunting High and Low\" in concert. The \"Take On Me\" video was nominated for eight 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, and at the third annual ceremony September 5, 1986, the video won six awards, including Best New Artist and Viewer\'s Choice.[5] \"The Sun Always Shines on T.V.\" was nominated for an additional three awards, winning two, for a total of eight wins. Even as the total number of categories has nearly doubled, only one other artist to date has won as many MTV Awards in a single year. Peter Gabriel won nine the following year for \"Sledgehammer\" and \"Big Time,\" two videos which progressed further down the roads a-ha ventured in groundbreaking use of animation in music video. In 2002, \"Take On Me\" was ranked at number eight on VH1\'s 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders, although this status is slightly misleading as it reflects a-ha\'s lack of mainstream success in the United States; the group was by no means a one-hit wonder elsewhere or in career terms. In 2006, \"Take on Me\" was ranked number 24 on VH1\'s Greatest Songs of the 1980s.[6] The cover photograph was taken by Just Loomis and was nominated in 1986 for a Grammy as \"Album Cover of the Year.\" The band released a live version of \"The Sun Always Shines on TV\" in 2003. Hunting High and Low was a-ha\'s breakout album. Upon its release in May 1985, Hunting High and Low peaked at number 15 on the Billboard\'s Top 200 album chart. The album granted a-ha international recognition. Hunting High and Low got 3x platinum status in the UK and Platinum status in the United States and Germany, and Gold status in Brazil, and the Netherlands. The album peaked at 15 in the U.S., according to Billboard music charts and has sold about 1.8 million copies in the U.S. It peaked at 2 on the UK charts, and hit 1 in Norway. The album has been certified platinum in the United States and 3x platinum in UK. Beginning with the single \"Take On Me\", a-ha\'s debut album sold more than eight million copies worldwide and spawned two number one hits. In the fall of 1986, \"Take On Me\" and \"The Sun Always Shines on TV\" were nominated for 11 MTV Video Awards combined, and a-ha won eight of these.[7] Tim DiGravina of AllMusic Guide said \"It\'s a cohesive album with smart pace changeups, and it rarely fails to delight or satisfy a listener\'s need for a synth pop fix... One can\'t escape the feeling that Hunting High and Low is a product of the 1980s, but with highs like \'Take On Me\' and \'The Sun Always Shines on TV,\' and no lows in sight, a-ha\'s debut is a treat worth relishing.\"[7] The album has sold more than ten million copies worldwide.
