hen morten harket, paul waaktaar and magne furuholmen
formed a-ha in the early 1980's, they probably never suspected they would become the biggest musical act ever to hit the blue-box charts in pop history! a-ha have the distinction of having the most no.1 songs in history, so far throughout their career they have had 23 no.1 hit singles! this norwegian trio has also had 13 no.1 albums! they have spent a total of 117 weeks at #1 on the singles chart, and a total of 124 weeks at #1 on the albums chart – the most weeks for any artist at #1 ever! after their initial split in 1994, their comeback in 2000 was considered one of the most important musical events in recent music history. following a very successful decade in the 00's, a-ha have announced they'll finally call it quits at the end of 2010. certainly ending on a high note, they're leaving a legacy as one of the greatest pop bands ever!
