Hi all,
I've just discovered a wonderful archive of European Hot 100 singles and album charts dating back to 1984 as reported in the "EUROTIPSHEET: The Pan -European Newsweekly For The Music Trade". Here for instance is the link to the edition from 6th January 1986 where Take On Me is back in the #1 spot with Take On Me, while TSASOTV is a new-entry at #78 and HHAL reaches #14 in the album charts. There's even a small article about the band where Morten is referred to as "Morton". Maybe that's where that mistake started? https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-M…-1986-01-06.pdf
And here's the full archive: https://worldradiohistory.com/Music-and-Media.htm
Good fun and a trip down memory lane
LG,
Peter
