Having seen those 4 major UK dates I gotta wonder - - are they REALLY that popular on the British soil??

@animalkingdom: Last time they played in the Wembley Arena in 2002 it was sold out though their last albums weren’t that succesfull in UK

@ Superbullie
Is that so? Hmm...Just thinking...They don’t differ music-wise so much from Roxette...Why didn’t Per & Marie take a chance and book a couple dates in the UK though Room Service flopped.
Anyway back to the topic...I think A-ha are quite a good live band. Saw them playing in 2002 in Helsinki at a very small venue. I think there were only 500 people there. However, I like their newer material A LOT more than the old songs..

...and they are even back in the UK-Charts. Their album “THE DEFINITIVE SINGLES COLLECTION” is been in the charts for two weeks now falling from 14 to 17.
Not bad for a-ha who have not been in the UK-Charts for years.

Still hoping for a date in Holland though...
Saw them live 2x in 2002, which was GREAT!!!
