A-ha is a Norwegian synth-pop band formed in Oslo in 1982. Founded by Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, guitars and vocals; left), Morten Harket (lead vocals; center), and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars and vocals; right), the band rose to fame during the mid-1980s. A-ha achieved their biggest success with their debut album Hunting High and Low in 1985. The album peaked at number one in their native Norway, number two in the UK, and number 15 on the US Billboard album chart; yielded the international number-one single "Take On Me", as well as "The Sun Always Shines on T.V."; and earned the band a Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist.

The band has released eleven studio albums, several compilations and four live albums, with their most recent album, True North, released on October 21, 2022. In less than a year, during 2010, the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian kroner from concert tickets, merchandise and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the 40–50 highest-grossing bands in the world. The band was listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest-paying rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during the Rock in Rio festival. They have sold more than 100 million units, albums and singles combined.
