I was surprised to hear from a Malaysian colleague that A-Ha has not only produced a whole bunch of studio albums since they first got big, but they have stayed big in Asia. All the Norwegians I know (of which there are quite a few if you count all of my cousins) are into punk or metal, so maybe A-Ha only goes for the export market these days.
Yeah, I know a British girl that's a big A-Ha fan. Didn't even know they were still around.
