Harket held a note in the falsetto range for 20.2 seconds in A-ha‘s 2000 song “Summer Moved On”, believed to be the longest note in UK chart history. The note held exceeds the chest voice note in Bill Withers’ famous song Lovely Day by 2.2 seconds.In October 2009, A-ha announced that they would disband after a farewell tour in 2010. Tickets for A-ha’s final concert at the Oslo Spektrum on 4 December 2010 sold out within 2 hours.Pål Waaktaar-Savoy describes Harket as being “totally different from me.” He recalls the band’s first visit to London together, during which Harket burned all his clothes and re-fashioned his wardrobe. “He has given me self-confidence, encourages me to talk to people, not to be afraid and to use the abilities I have. Morten is actually the only one in Norway who had as much ambition as I did. I guess we both have big egos. In a way, we’re each sitting in our own little world, while Mags is more down to earth. Mags often has to mediate between Morten and me… It’s good that we’re so different and still respect each other. The tension between us is creative.”
