I was really only using A Ha as being an example of good music from the 80s, verses their popularity. They didn't seem all that big to me.

I`ve travelled around the world quite a bit and everybody I`ve ever met knows who A-ha are.

The Sun Always Shines on TV, Living Daylights, Touchy, Cry Wolf, Train of Thought, Hunting High and Low, I`ve Been Losing You, Manhatten Skyline, Crying in the Rain all reached the Top 20 in the UK plus they had 4 albums that also reached the top 20 in this time period of which three of them reached number 2.
Then we`ve got all the stuff since they reformed as well.........
I was growing up when they were big in the UK and everbody in the UK knows who A-ha are, they`re about on the same level in terms of popularity as say Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club etc which were huge bands in the Uk in the 80`s.
