a-ha - Take On Me (Long Version) Norweigan Nu Wave/pop band a-ha successfully hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Take On Me“ in 1985. After a few failing attempts in the UK, the single finally broke into the top teir of the UK Singles Chart in November 1985, while screaming to the top in the U.S. Thanks to its cutting-edge music video, which focused on an innovative mix of pencil-sketch animination and live-action shots, the music video won six MTV Music Video Awards in 1986. The video proved to be a major staple in MTV video rotation while the song popularity has been satisfied by its heavy use in video games, “best of '80's“ compilations and cover versions. Produced by Alan Tarney. BACK TO BLACK is a video series celebrating the spirit and legacy of vinyl with audio of maxi-singles, essential records, exclusive mixes and rare grooves.
