A-ha is only "One-hits wonder" in USA. But in rest in the world, like continents in Europe, Asia, South-America their is A-ha huges with many hits from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s
Jaxon never fails to amaze me...I think it's great he is so well rounded culturally..it just shows how much this generation has changed from mine...where he gets praised now, back then he would have been the nerdy white boy...I think it's great that we have changed so much as a society
Jack and Izzy are adorable and fun together! Izzy dragged you in every time Jack! Brandel and Izzy together were a great team! They did better than any of the others! And I really liked Jaxon and Erin together. Everybody's having sooo much fun!
Izzy with hoodie really had fun in this episode. She enjoed music so much that even Jack wasn't able to resist. I like her for that. She allways having fun with music episodes.
FunFact: Toni Basil was 41 when she recorded 'Hey Mickey' and what she wore was her high school cheerleading uniform. Also A-Ha also recorded a song for the 1987 James Bond film Living Daylights!
I just want to see Izzy I and Izzy R side by side in a Try not to sing challenge because they seem to always have fun and their Chaos Energy would feed each other.
Take Me On! I was just singing and dancing with everyone. I just rewatched this 3 times already. Everyone was superfun. I had a ton of fun enjoying this with you guys. 🎉👍🏼
I'm Canadian and a lot of our charts are an amalgamation of US and UK charts, so we knew a lot of the other hits from these artists. "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was a big big hit for a-ha, it was even used as a theme song for a MuchMusic show.
also, soft cell werent one hit wonders, they had "say hello, wave goodbye", "bedsitter" & "torch". not as big, but still hits nonetheless. just like right said fred, they had "deeply dippy" and "youre my mate". still hits albeit not as big :)
I KNEW Jack and Izzy I. were gonna give in with Mickey, but not so quickly! lolol 2 seconds in and Izzy was like, F* it! Shoulder bop! Peer pressure, go figure. I don't blame Jack tho! Her enthusiasm is infectious! I did expect Jaxon to hold out but that song demands movement!
@@jabbahut755 americans should be so more educated if they learn more about the world than themself like rest of the world normally do. Its nice to be patriotic but stil 🤣
Gotye is an Aussie national hero. I spent many many times crying over his song “hearts a mess” as I went through a divorce. He is very very talented and has many hits here.
"Bulletproof" by La Roux is ironic, mostly because the song is bulletproof! LOVE the song and also the 80s inspired geometric shapes and patterns for the music video! I watch that music video often!
I had to look this one up. I was born and grew up in the 80s and had never heard it! Unlike people commenting about Afromans colt45, this one actually makes A-Ha not a OHW!
@@peircemarks9197 On top of that, I don't think any artists who gets asked to write a theme song for a Bond movie should ever be called a one hit wonder. To me one hit wonders are not about the amount of hits but rather having a hit and then disappearing pr breaking up.
@@peircemarks9197 No, to me being a one hit wonder is more than just having had one it. There are world renown acts that have never had even a single hit. People focus on the one hit part but not enough on the wonder part. If you have a long and successful career in music then you are not a one hit wonder.
Yeah, a-ha did not achieve the same success in the United States as they did in Europe; in the US, they only got two hits: Take on Me at #1, and the now oft-forgotten The Sun Always Shines on TV which had a modest peak at #20. Because Sun is mostly forgotten in the US today, that left Take on Me as the band's "true" hit in the eyes of Americans.
How could you possibly say a-ha is a one hit wonder?? They sold over 100million copies, 11 albums, went on world tour multiple times. And they are still active!
@@theshadowfax239 It all depends on how you define a hit. If you follow the generally accepted term: "A song that reaches top 40 in the billboard hot 100", then react are mistaken. The song "Sun allways shines on TV" Reached 20. Other songs like "Cry Wolf" reached the billboards as well, but not top 40. But if you demand a song to reach number 1. Hit to call it a hit, then take on me is A-Ha's only hit in the US.
@@jennifergreen6510 Unless it's 1985-86 then the general public knows of 3. Just because something isn't a hit 40 years later does it take away from it's greatness when released? In ten years My chemical romance will be a one hit wonder with welcome to the black parade. And maybe someone can remember Imagine dragons who never ever had a number 1 hit but they had that radioactive song that was kinda good. In twenty they will likely both be a vague memory unless new memes revive them.
Toni Basil actually was a cheerleader at Las Vegas High School. I remember some of these and they are still classics. My two boys still dance to Never Gonna Give You Up. Tainted Love was also featured in the movie Coneheads.
To each contestant: "How quickly can you forget that you are supposed to not sing or dance to these songs?" Everyone: "Yes." The dogs in the pound next door: 😆
I was singing along to 'Take On Me' at work a few weeks ago. My coworker approaches me, stops, listens, and then incredously asks, "Are you singing that as Goofy?" I paused, and realized I actually was singing as Goofy.
I love Gotye for a few years before he blew up and you gotta love that while that song blowing up the way it did was unexpected, he was probably capable of just having a full pop career with his talent and he just decided "nah, i'm good. i'm gonna go do whatever the f i feel like" so he did. haha
Spin Doctors and A-ha aren’t one hit wonders Apart from Two Princes the Spin Doctors have Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, Jimmy Olsen’s Blues and then a cover of Have You Ever Seen the Rain Apart from Take on Me A-Ha had ‘Hunting High and Low’, ‘The Sun Always Shines on T.V.’ And ‘The Living Daylights’
WOW, to say a-ha has only one hit, they had albums that sold millions, lol This was in 1985-6, and they are still going strong. "During 2010, the band earned an estimated 500 million Norwegian kroner from concert tickets, merchandise and the release of a greatest hits album, making them one of the 40-50 highest-grossing bands in the world." "The band were listed in the Guinness World Records book for having the biggest-paying rock concert attendance; they drew an audience of 198,000 at Maracanã Stadium during the Rock in Rio festival. They have sold more than 100 million units, albums and singles combined." *not a huge fan, but damn, even I know a-ha 😛😛😛😛
Man, Bulletproof was EVERYWHERE when it came out. I remember hearing it at least 10 times a day between the music played at my work and the radio in the car.
Jaxon doesn’t care if he wins or loses these challenges. He’s just here for the vibes.
Maybe on react but we all know he can’t handle punishments on pvf 🤣
Erin and Jaxon’s duet for Take on me was perfect!! They looked so in sync
Lol, I think that's the third time he has reacted to that song. First time he reacted to it, as a kid I think, he said it was his favourite song.
Jaxon is such an old soul, and I LOVE that his parents introduced him to so many kinds of music at a young age.
A-ha is only "One-hits wonder" in USA.
But in rest in the world, like continents in Europe, Asia, South-America their is A-ha huges with many hits from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s
They were a one-hit wonder in Canada, too.
So was Right said Fred....
@@jennifergreen6510Who cares about Canada though
@@jennifergreen6510 Nah they had other hits in Canada too in the 80s and 90s.
I love how Izzy and Jack did not care its was a try not to and just went in
Jaxon never fails to amaze me...I think it's great he is so well rounded culturally..it just shows how much this generation has changed from mine...where he gets praised now, back then he would have been the nerdy white boy...I think it's great that we have changed so much as a society
He's the proof of reincarnation.
I couldn't agree more!
Did you guys used to watch the original versions of these. His mom appears and you can see why he is so well rounded.
Jaxon's a bad azz - knows music from 4 decades back...
80s
Jack and Izzy are adorable and fun together! Izzy dragged you in every time Jack! Brandel and Izzy together were a great team! They did better than any of the others! And I really liked Jaxon and Erin together. Everybody's having sooo much fun!
She caused him to get his first point on Take Me On..... but they never gave her points for the dancing. LMAO
Jaxon just wanted an excuse to sing his fav songs lmao
Don't we all?
@@Gabriel45206yep
The passion that girl Izzy had when pointing out that Gotye is the villain is actually the best
Izzy and Jack said "its a vibe" they danced and sang every time 😂😂
Izzy with hoodie really had fun in this episode. She enjoed music so much that even Jack wasn't able to resist. I like her for that. She allways having fun with music episodes.
Seriously love how Jaxson just doesn't care and sings to every song
thinking the same thing
Basically, the equivalent of Sharon with Try Not to Eat
OMG😁😁😁 Jackson is so talented with all the voices he can make.... He needs his own show!!!! Awesome CAST!!! 💌
As soon as Take On Me came on, I just KNEW Jaxon was gonna lose his shit 😅😅😅
You know they're one-hit wonders when you can sing the song but have literally never heard the artist's name. 😂
Izzy and Jack together are so much fun. I just want to hang out with them cause you know it would be a blast.
Izzy and Jack seriously makes me laugh so hard 🤣
I love Izzy and Jack together they are such a good pair👍🏼🤣
As a man named Micky who was born in the mid-70's, that song was the bane of my existence. It occasionally still rears its ugly head.
Watching these babies react to the songs I grew up with is both fun and difficult.
FunFact: Toni Basil was 41 when she recorded 'Hey Mickey' and what she wore was her high school cheerleading uniform.
Also A-Ha also recorded a song for the 1987 James Bond film Living Daylights!
Jaxon is so real for his reaction to Bad Day. It's my mom favorite song, and I really like it. It always gives me childhood vibes.
it's always a party when Izzy and Jack are paired together
I worked radio back in the day. And We played the living crud out of A-Ha..... The Sun Always Shines On TV. It was absolutely Top 40!
Izzy and Jack were so much fun this episode 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love how the "Try Not to Sing" challenges on React have basically become Karaoke Hour.
And I'm okay with that. 😀
I will never not click on a video that Jackson is in. He’s my favorite!
Jaxon, you sir, was born in the wrong decade!!! He knows the good music!
If A-HA was a one hit onder in the US, they've been missing out.
A-Ha wasn't a one-hit wonder in the US; they had two top-20 hits on the Billboard pop singles charts.
I just want to see Izzy I and Izzy R side by side in a Try not to sing challenge because they seem to always have fun and their Chaos Energy would feed each other.
As a Norwegian, calling A-HA a one hit wonder was like being punched in the face… 😅
samme. Men ikke bare i Norge de har hatt flere hits. I USA også, so one hit wonder er en fornærmelse
Same for me with Gotye as an Australian
As an American, I knew better! "I Wish I Cared" should have been a hit here, it even made its way on to an episode of Smallville in season 2.
I always thought they were Australian 😮
Take Me On! I was just singing and dancing with everyone. I just rewatched this 3 times already. Everyone was superfun. I had a ton of fun enjoying this with you guys. 🎉👍🏼
A-Ha also had Living Daylights and The Sun Always Shines on TV
Ahem ... a-ha a one hit wonder? They also had "Living a Boy's Adventure Tale" that hit the charts. They were a TWO hit wonder thank You very much. lol
? two hits? Sun always shines on TV? Crying in the rain? Cry Wolf?
I was trying to be funny, but Yes indeed, a-ha had a great many hits and it's too bad people only remember the one. 👍🏻
Came back here after couple of years to find out Jaxon is still my favourite :) amazing young man, love his vibe :) and love REACT!
All these couples are fantastic! All their energies match each other. More of them together please!
Don't call them couples plz
the Izzys, Jack and Jackson always get me going. its an energy thing!!
Jaxon
@@lifewuzonceezr autocorrect bruh
I am obsessed with Izzy and then I found she's Brazilian. Gurl, I live.
Was waiting for Tubthumping and 99 Red Balloons, lol
Man, how did La Roux not take off beyond Bulletproof? She was lit.
I knew Jaxon would lose to “Take On Me” but no shame Jaxon! That song is awesome!! 🎤
I like how he's a Gen Z who likes some 80's music.
@@IWantToPetYourDog he’s got excellent taste on music for sure.
I'm Canadian and a lot of our charts are an amalgamation of US and UK charts, so we knew a lot of the other hits from these artists. "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was a big big hit for a-ha, it was even used as a theme song for a MuchMusic show.
Riiiiighhht? Don't OHW A-HA
actually The Sun Always Shines on TV got to #20 in the US too
I can't believe that they actually knew the songs that are from the 80s and 90s! It's amazing! 🥰
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and Chumbawumba's "Thumb Thumping" comes to mind as memorable one hit wonders.
Chumbawumba all the way
I don't believe you spin me right round or rock me Amadeus wasn't on this list! We need a part 2! 😱
Izzy energy always on 1000 when it comes to reaching to throwback videos luv it.
Yea!!!!! Jack and Izzy together rock.
❤
Glad the future generations will keep take on me alive
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba has to be on that list!!
gotye was a one hit wonder, now he's just somebody that we used to know

just not in the US
@@jabbahut755 americans should be so more educated if they learn more about the world than themself like rest of the world normally do. Its nice to be patriotic but stil 🤣
Now Gotye is just somebody that we used to know.
Gotye is an Aussie national hero. I spent many many times crying over his song “hearts a mess” as I went through a divorce. He is very very talented and has many hits here.
Not gonna lie, the only reason I know “Hey Mickey” is purely the end credits of Bring It On 😅
Izzy and Jack are just great vibes
a-ha a One Hit Wonder!?!?
In Germany we say: Habt ihr Lack gesoffen?
In Europe they had way more hits. They even had a James Bond song “The Living Daylights”
"Bulletproof" by La Roux is ironic, mostly because the song is bulletproof!
LOVE the song and also the 80s inspired geometric shapes and patterns for the music video!
I watch that music video often!
OMG Jaxon so talented
Jack and the Izzys are a vibe 😂 brilliant
Jaxon really loves music and it shows! He always know every song, no matter of the age or genre!
I love how they're not even trying to resist singing along.
Take On Me would have broke me too. Such a classic.
I talk for all of eastern Europe when I say Mr. Saxobeat was THE song of like 2/3 summers.
A-Ha is technically not a one hit wonder even in the US since The Sun Always Shines on TV was also a top 20 hit for them.
I had to look this one up. I was born and grew up in the 80s and had never heard it! Unlike people commenting about Afromans colt45, this one actually makes A-Ha not a OHW!

Cry Wolf hit 50 at Billboard, so it's there, too.
A-HA is one hits wonders,you kidding me ..please be serious
The irony about A-Ha is that Take On Me never hit the top spot in the UK. The only #1 single they ever had was "The Sun Doesn't Shine on TV".
Sun ALWAYS shines on tv.
A-HA one hit wonder ???
I know right?
they say in America. Maybe only take on me blew up there@@douglassilva2709
I love The Living Daylights.

Yeah AHA is not a one hit wonders
Afroman could have released a second hit song but didn’t because he got high 😵💫😂
😂😂
Jackson has the soul of a 35yr old lol
But that's what alot of us love about him. 😀
A-Ha is not a one hit wonder. The Sun Always Shines on TV reached #20.
Jaxon cracks me up. I love watching him. He just loves music, especially the 80s. He is just such fun. I bet he would win a game of Name that Tune
Gotye dropped that banger and disappeared. It's almost as if he's somebody that we used to know.
He was an independent artist in Aust. The biggest drive for that song was Kimbra which nearly did not happen.
How could you possibly say a-ha is a one hit wonder?? They sold over 100million copies, 11 albums, went on world tour multiple times. And they are still active!

It's crazy how Jaxon chose take on me as one of his favorite songs in an older video
I'm so proud of these young people's parents for raising them right
They should have been rickrolled. There was no better opportunity
Now im sad that's not going to happen lol. I'm halfway through the video reading this
'Take on me' will be a belt out song even 100 years from now 🤩
It’s physically impossible to not sing to 4 Non Blondes.
Toni Basil actually was a cheerleader at Las Vegas High School. I remember some of these and they are still classics. My two boys still dance to Never Gonna Give You Up. Tainted Love was also featured in the movie Coneheads.
Jacksons laugh at Right Said Fred is sooooo good!
I'm actually offended by the fact most of these are 'One Hit Wonders' when they've had massive careers! hahahaha
Jack is so damn adorable lol...I love that he fed off of Izzy's energy!
To each contestant: "How quickly can you forget that you are supposed to not sing or dance to these songs?"

Fun Fact: Linda Perry, lead singer for 4 Non Blondes, wrote beautiful , that incredible Christina Hit

Hey Mickey straight outa holiday camps in the UK when i was a kid
7:00 Jaxon once again showing himself as a man of impeccable taste.
