‘Take On Me’ video reaches milestone on YouTube

The 1980s hit “Take On Me” has reached 1 billion views on YouTube.

The hit from “A-ha” is the second music video from that era to hit the benchmark, WTOP news .

The band released the song back in 1985, but the memorable video wasn’t uploaded to YouTube until 2010.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” is the only other ’80s video to reach 1 billion views.
