“It’s not bad, it’s just not super.” That’s from the owner herself, and I think it sums it up. I’m no a-ha historian, but I don’t think “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.” was even a hit. The flipside is “Driftwood.” Either one ring any bells?

    Even though “Driftwood” was never released aside from this 12″ and another 7″, “..Sun Always Shines..” was a-ha’s second biggest hit and one of 7 singles off their first album, only overshadowed by “Take on me”. Reaching #20 in U.S. charts, #1 in the U.K.

    So even though it may not ring any bells for those who never owned any of a-ha’s albums. It’s far from no hit.

    Thanks for the clarification Cal.
