| - A-ha (stylized a-ha; Norwegian pronunciation: [ɑˈhɑː]) is a Norwegian band formed in Oslo in 1982. The band was founded by Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen(keyboards) and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars). The group initially rose to fame during the mid-1980s after being discovered by musician and producer John Ratcliff, and had continued global success in the 1990s and 2000s. 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.[1][2] In 1994, after their fifth studio album, Memorial Beach, failed to achieve the commercial success of their previous albums, the band went on ahiatus.[3] 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 hit 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 – their most successful album there since 1990's East of the Sun, West of the Moon.[4] 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.[5] The album peaked at number 2 in Norway (their first release 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, the Ending on a High Note Tour.[3][6] Thousands of fans from at least 40 different countries on six continents congregated to see A-ha for the last time.[7][8] On 4 December 2014 a-ha officially announced its upcoming participation on Rock In Rio 2015 which will celebrate 30 years for both the band and the event. A-ha will play in the main stage on the same night as Katy Perry.[9] The band has sold more than 55 million records worldwide[10] In less than a year, during 2010, the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian Kroner on touring tickets, merchandising and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the 40–50 largest grossing bands in the world.[11]

* A Good Name for a Rock Band: They chose "a-ha" because it was a name that everyone would be able to say easily.
* Animated Music Video: "Take on Me" and "Train of Thought", at least large parts of them. The Internet exclusive video for "I Wish I Cared" was actually one of the very first wholly Flash-animated music videos.
* Continuity Nod: The first 30 seconds of the video for "The Sun Always Shines on TV" are spent ending the storyline in the "Take On Me" video. Snifff.
* Creator Backlash: "We've done better songs. It's great to be recognized, shame it's "Take On Me"."
* Downer Ending: As stated above, the beginning of the video for "The Sun Always Shines on TV" ends the story from "Take on Me" with the man turning back into an illustration and running away.
* Todd was particularly upset with the scene.
* Executive Meddling: Most tracks on Minor Earth Major Sky were remixed by the album's producer to make it more radio-friendly for the German market. Whether it made them worse, or better, is entirely up to the listener.
* Grandpa What Massive Hotness You Have: The guys are bordering their late 40's/early 50's and still look DAAAAMN fine.
* Intercourse with You: "I Call Your Name" is actually a honeymoon song, complete with metaphors.
* Long Runner Lineup: 18 years with the same three guys before disbanding (with one reunion benefit concert).
* Lyrical Dissonance:
* Many, many of their songs have this going for them... "The Blood That Moves The Body" comes to mind.
* That one pales in comparison to "Scoundrel Days". The beat is rock-ish and spirited, the lyrics are pure Mind Screw.
* "I've Been Losing You" is the musings of a male Yandere who has just shot dead his own wife.
* "Maybe Maybe" is cute and poppy. But describes rather lightly how a guy and his ex-girlfriend bitch each other, until said girlfriend runs him over with her car.
* Mood Dissonance: "Velvet" is a song about a man praising a woman's beauty. In the music video on the other hand, the band members' love interests murder all 3 of them. Morten dies in an Electrified Bathtub, Pal is killed by a bullet on the head, while Magne's corpse is locked in a freezer. Morten's singing as he is transported out of the tub and into a body bag is part of the video's Narm Charm.
* New Wave
* Notable Music Videos: "Take on Me"
* Obligatory Bondage Song: "Celice", a love song... dedicated to a chastity belt. The group that gave us "Take On Me", people!
* Power Trio
* Rotoscoping: The music video of "Take on Me".
* What Beautiful Eyes!: Paul Waaktaar-Savoy's Green Eyes.
* Yandere: The narrator of "I've Been Losing You" and the girl from "Maybe Maybe".

- A-ha er et Gotisk emo band fra Norge som spiller på SM og emo fester. Navnet a-ha kommer fra at band medlemene skrev ut "A-ha" når det kuttet seg. A-ha kommer også av at bandet oppdaget at ingen av de faktisk kunne å spille et eneste instrument ganske tidlig, men som dere sikkert skjønner så hadde ikke dette noen invirkning på deres senere karriere. Den eneste av disse som faktisk kunne spille noe var John Arne Riise, som selvfølgelig spiller på sin enestående sjarm, og sine fantastiske brystmuskler. Jeg har et fint knallrødt hår, og fregner, og er tilgjengelig for et åpent forhold med hovedsaklig alle kjendiskvinner i Norge. jeg liker turer i skog og mark, og koselige kvelder foran peisen sammen med sin utkårede. Hvis noen ønsker kontakt, så ligger info om hvordan dere ska komme i kontakt med denne "hunken" så er det bare å gå inn på Facebook siden hans, og add as friend.
