I always had a sad fascination for the U.S.'s treatment of this band. Once the release of "Take On Me" ran its course, the U.S. record companies didn't really give them any mind. Much contributed to this abandonment, mostly the American's constant need for attention. Even Morten Harket made a comment about how "a-ha didn't have the energy to babysit the Americans." As an American myself I couldn't blame them. Sad to think this band created even greater works since and evolved into a respectable contributor to great pop music – and the U.S. basically missed out on it.
