25 (A-ha Album)

''25'' is a greatest hits album by Norwegian band A-ha. It was released in Norway on 19 July 2010, in Germany and central Europe on 6 August, and in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe on 4 October.
''25'' includes all 33 of the band's singles (excluding the promo singles "I Wish I Cared", "Birthright", "Waiting for Her", "Lie Down in Darkness", "Maybe, Maybe" and "Love Is Reason", as well as the original 1988 single "The Blood That Moves the Body" and the 2003 live version of "The Sun Always Shines on T.V."), along with five album tracks and the B-side "Cold as Stone" (remix).

The album includes the single " Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)" which had the world premiere on 14 June 2010 and was made available as a digital download on 9 July. The Japanese version features a different track list, with three tracks chosen by the Japanese public. This compilation is far more comprehensive than either of the two previous compilations ('' Headlines and Deadlines – The Hits of A-ha'' and ''The Definitive Singles Collection 1984–2004'').
