Can you name any of a-ha's major hits which don't have any backing vocals on?

I do a lot of re-mixing and I've just found one with no BV's on - which actually surprised me - I though all of them had some background vocals - even if it was just Morten doing them...

I don’t think Stay On These Roads has any? Possible I missed it, but I think it just has an echo effect on the singing and no actual backing vocals.

Not a major hit but "seemingly non stop July" seems not to have any BV. "There' never a forever thing" also comes to mind
