#14 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'Take On Me' by A-ha (1985)

VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown returns once again with #14 of the countdown, which goes to 80's Norwegian new-wave sensation A-ha and their mega-hit Take On Me. Take On Me is arguably one of the most well-known 80's songs of all-time, and it can be found on the group's 1985 Hunting High and Low album. A-ha was founded in 1982 out of Oslo, Norway by members Morten Harket (vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards), and Pål Waaktaar (guitar). Throughout their career A-ha have sold around 36 million albums, and 35 million singles, and they are one of the top 50 highest grossing bands in the world to date. Be sure to check out the music video on YouTube as well as it was really one of those songs and videos that really helped to define the decade and YouTube has disabled embedding for some strange reason. Take On Me charted at the #1 spot on over 10 country-charts worldwide including the UK Singles and U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. And there we have #14.
