a-ha’s “Take on Me” Hovers Near the Billionth Play Mark

In 1985, a-ha released a single and a music video that would transform them into international superstars: “Take on Me.” 34 years later, we’ve probably all lost count of how many times we’ve heard the song, but YouTube can confirm that the video is on the cusp of its one billionth play, which is an occasion worthy of celebration.

First, take a moment to go watch the video, won’t you?

There, wasn’t that nice? It’s still just as great now as it was 34 years ago. But if you can predict the exact time and date when the video will hit that monumental billionth play, then you’ll win a prize that’s not just great, it’s amazing: you’ll be flown to Norway – home of a-ha, in case you didn’t know – and you’ll both meet the band and see them perform.

Are you in? Of course you are! So go get the details about this contest and sign up now!
