FNY seems to be going ok according to the website. can’t wait for the album release! it’ll be cool if roxette and a-ha keep taking it in turns to release albums(as long as they are both released in the uk!!!).

The new single is doing great in Germany! It entered the charts at # 13!!! In Airplay charts it´s at #18!

I once wrote to Per in roxette.se what did he think about Marie and Morten recording a very romantic ballad single...what do you think? (he didn’t answer yet).

I love, love a-ha. Since Take On Me. What a band. What a shame VH-1 keep calling them “one-hit-wonder”. It´s not like that, at least not in Europe.
Morten´s voice is marvellous. My fave album by theirs is their debut Hunting High And Low.

Stormkeeper -when Vh-1 says that..??

roxchurch:
everytime they are talking about a-ha.
Like on ‘80´s music specials etc.
I think there are many other single releases that are better than TOM!
Like Hunting High And Low, Stay On These Roads, Summer Moved On... etc.
Long live a-ha.

one more thing. I‘m surprised they never released Swing Of Things as a single. Marvellous song, smart lyrics! From their 2nd album!

Hey! so great to see all of you here... and I thought I was the only roxette and a-ha fan here... :o)
@Stormkeeper, you are so right, whenever they are mentioned on TV they are always refered to as a “one-hit-wonder 80s boyband”. People got so hooked on the cartooned Take On Me video they seemed to have forgotten that a-ha had plenty of other -better hits as well... and even more great songs that were never released. (Scoundrel Days, Living A Boy’s Adventure Tale, etc.)
I think both Pal and Per have an extraordinary talent for writing beautiful songs. I hope they never quit (again)...

@tinytim: Morten and Marie recording a romantic ballad together? would be awesome, but I think Per might get a little jealous... ;o)

“i’ll be gone now forever not yours!” seems like aha did it again..have u noticed how mature their music have become lately? and mortens voice always crystal clear..this song made me cry just like “summer moved on” aha is always in my heart and this song does great in europe!

They really made it in Rock in Rio II - I guess it was in ’88...or in ’91?? After INXS they were the preferred pop band in stage...
80’s moved on...

Just ordered tickets for their concert in Helsinki in June...Anyone else gonna see them?
