According to Magne Furuholmen, &ldquo;the song also seems to resonate with people across time. It&rsquo;s just very fortunate to have such a big song in our catalogue. We probably spent a few years talking it down, trying to get people to focus on new stuff we&rsquo;re doing. At this point, certainly speaking for myself, I&rsquo;m just surprised and proud that the song has done so well and still finds an audience.&rdquo;
Take on Me passes their one billion hit in February 2020 with their two billion YouTube views this year. This only proves the trio&rsquo;s timeless charm that crosses from generation to generation.
Whatever generation you are, you can&rsquo;t escape with the &lsquo;Take on Me&rsquo; fever.
