#1 Record? Did you do your duty?

I didn't realise Alan Partridge was such a big deal in Norway:)
Only joking. A-Ha had a couple of massive hits in the 80s. Take On Me for example.
Is it sad that I actually know that.
A-ha is very popular here since they come from Norway, they have had eight albums at #1, Maiden got their first #1 album with Final frontier:-)
 
Everybody that was young in the eighties remembers A-Ha. They were huge at one time , like Duran Duran huge . They even wrote a song for a Bond movie , the living daylights .
 
They went well beyond the 80s, in fact. :yes:

And yes, I did my Maiden duty, Deluxe edition. I really fancy the vinyl edition now.
 
Number 8 in UK after the weekend, hopefully go up a place or 2, Slayer at number 6 is likely to be very front loaded. Slayer might be number 1 in US this week with 55K in pure album sales, about 20K less than Maiden sold to be number 3, luck of the draw.
 
I do believe we're starting to need an A-ha or general pop thread, if there isn't one already in the Music Discussion section.

There definitely needs to be a pop thread. It has potential to be an active discussion.

:funnypost:Ehehe only the deluxe version, but considering the lines and lines of people i saw at the store, it became really predictable that it would easily reach #1
