Culture Beat also had a third, fourth, fifth and sixth hit - Anything, World In Your Hands, Inside Out and Crying In The Rain respectively.

'Anything' >>>>> 'Mr Vain'

'Got To Get It' was really annoying.

Does Seaside Shuffle by Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs (#2 on its second release, 1972) count even though it was really Jona Lewie?

Diana King 'Shy Guy'

I'm sure she had at least one follow up single (maybe a cover?) but barely anyone would remember it surely.

Pseudo Echo - Funkytown

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Sabrina's follow-up "All Of Me" reached #25 in October 1988. I challenge anyone to sing it from memory without looking it up on slsk or similar.

BOY OH BOY
DON'T WANT A PART TIME LOVER
ALL OF ME
WANTS ALL OF YOU

(PWL Hits Factory Vol.2, cassette, autumn 1988, second song on side 2, possibly)

Starland Vocal Band struck gold in the summer of '76 with "Afternoon Delight".

Hey, Macarena. Oi.

― mox twelve (Mox twleve), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I can actually remember the 'All of me wants all of you' part of Sabrina's follow-up now but no more than that and this is only because of Alex's prompting.

You mean list ;)

Was Sixpence None The Richer's 'Kiss Me' a Summer release? I know they had other songs but I doubt anyone in the world has heard them.

Old Pop In An Oak might have been exactly the same song, but they're still a two-hit wonder.

What about that slacker dude with the "I'm a loser everyone should kill me" thing that sampled Dr John? Remember seeing it on TOTP just before Britpop.
