I n 2002, the one thing a-ha didn’t need was a lifeline. With all six of their albums hitting No.1 in their native Norway, and most performing well around the globe, there wasn’t much worry when their seventh LP hit CD shelves in April. Except, though it peaked at the top in the Land of the Midnight Sun, it would be their first release not to go Top 30 in the UK and their first not to chart at all in Australia.
