Ohhh a 5 minute tour featuring Take on Me!  (as he looks in his wallet to fork over hard cash for said show). I am kidding I know that thier hits expand a song or two beyond that song.
I always thought someone should do a one hit wonder show. Though it would have to be one band for the whole show in order to do it. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Well AHA's hits expand well past TAKE ON ME, in the UK they have charted 37 singles, including 23 top 10, plus there is more competition on the UK charts since there is only ONE chart not like here where music is broken into a million categories. To date they have sold close to 30 million albums worldwide, by USA standards they are a One hit wonder, but should the USA really be taken seriously, have U looked at our charts the last decade or so. As for AHA's concert draw's they never have a problem selling tickets, sure it will be tough to sell them here, but Universal is backing them and has given a 3 CD deal in the USA with a 3 million dollar advance, so i doubt they arent going to put some kind of push into them. And for the rest of the world AHA has set many records for concert attendance, including one in RIO where they played to over 175,000 people, breaking Paul McCartneys record in that country. And there German tours and UK are equally successful. So lets remember there is a world outside the USA, i know its hard for us to realize that there is, especially the way we do our politics, but there is a World outside of the USA.

I was only joking. I know they were bigger abroad. And I know their debut and subsequent were acclaimed.
