a-ha is a Grammy Award-nominated band from
Norway. They are the best selling Norwegian band around the world with a total of 75 million albums and singles sold (approximately sixteen times the entire Norwegian population). They rose to fame during the
1980s, but continued to be globally successful in the
1990s and
2000s. The
trio, composed of lead vocalist
Morten Harket, guitarist
Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (Pål Waaktaar until his marriage in 1994) and keyboardist
Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1982 and left Norway for
London in order to make a career in the music business. They chose the studios of musician, producer and soon-to-be-manager John Ratcliff, because it had a
Space Invaders machine. The origin of the name "a-ha" comes from the lyrics of an early song ("Nothing To It"). After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that "a-ha" was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, easy to say and unusual.
