This is a comprehensive discography of a-ha, a Norwegian rock band. a-ha has released eight studio albums, four EPs, ten compilations and thirty-nine singles. This list does not include solo material by Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen or Paul Waaktaar-Savoy.

They are the best-selling band from Scandinavia together with ABBA, a Swedish pop group. Eighty million worldwide record sales make them the best-selling band Norway has ever produced.[1] They rose to fame during the 1980s and continued to be globally successful in the 1990s and 2000s.

The band was formed in 1982 and achieved its biggest success with its debut album Hunting High and Low, which peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard charts. The 1985 album yielded the Grammy-nominated single "Take on Me". After the release of their first album a-ha released another three commercially successful albums, namely Scoundrel Days, Stay on These Roads and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. The band went on a hiatus in 1994 following the commercial failure of their fifth album, Memorial Beach. The band returned after a well-received performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 1998. Since, they have recorded another three studio albums: Minor Earth Major Sky (2000), Lifelines (2002) and their newest best-selling album Analogue (2005).[2] While their 2002 album didn't get a British chart position, their 2005 album did very well in the UK: it has been certified Silver.[3] The Analogue album also went Platinum in Russia .[4]
