A-HA RECIVES PRESTIGIOUS AWARD

 

The three members of pop group a-ha are awarded The Royal Order of St. Olav.

 

The Norwegian Royal Order of St. Olav is awarded for distinguished services for Norway and mankind. Each of the three members of a-ha, Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Pål Waaktaar Savoy will, after a proposition by Music Export Norway, receive this Royal Order for their outstanding musical contribution.

 

a-ha has a unique position in Norway, with an unprecedented international success. The group has sold 35 million albums worldwide and is the first and still remains the only Norwegian band that has topped the U.S. Billboard list. This happened with "Take On Me" in 1985. They have had 15 singles in the top ten list in the UK, received eight Norwegian Grammy Awards and been nominated for, and won, a number of others.

 

In addition, a-ha obtained an entry in the Guinness World Records after a concert in Rio de Janeiro in 1991, where they performed in front of nearly 200 000 people.

 

An inspiration

 

The group has also been an inspiration for several generations of artists, both at home and abroad. The a-ha members have on several occasions contributed to charity. They have played charity concerts for both Mercy Ships and Live 8, and the they have been involved in bringing attention to the situation in Haiti and East Timor.

 

In 2010 the group wanted to support Norwegian talent with International potential. This resulted in the artists Casiokids, Moddi, Shining and Susanne Sundfør receiveing a grant of one million Norwegian kroner each, paid solely by a-ha.

 

The official ceremony will take place on November 6th.
