Number 48: A-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV
A-ha makes their only appearance on this list with "The Sun Always Shines On TV", which has always been my favorite track of theirs. Hitting #20 in the US and #1 in Britain, it was a very successful third single release from their 1985 album Hunting High And Low. Morten Harket and crew take the #48 spot on my Top 200.
I'm not sure why "Take on Me" was such a huge hit and this one wasn't (in the US, anyway) but I think it must be because "Take on Me" had the flashy video.
Very clever beginning to that video ... he was always too pretty for her anyway
