In the golden age of the pop trio Aha sold an incredible eleven million copies of his first album and eight in one evening MTV Video Music Awards loaded into the crook of your arm – the most Norwegian thing about the band was that all three members were from the Oslo area. The musical borrowings, on the other hand, came from Great Britain and the USA, as did the hairstyles and jeans boy outfits. They had already composed “Take On Me”, their world hit, when they were still at school, but it also only became the pop-become bouncy and squeaky castle under the hands of various London producers, which one still has to love it to this day.
