I like that Rocky Burnette song, but I'd never heard it before just now.
Speaking of Rocky...

I dunno if she had more hits in other places, but "Touch Me" is the only thing I remember Samantha Fox for in the US..
However, youtube just reminded me of "Naughty Girls Need Love Too". Oh well.

Not sure if this was a hit in the US but it got to No. 5 over here (also big across Europe apparently):

Madness that in the US, er, Madness was a one hit wonder. But what a wonderful hit!

I have that Rocky Burnette song on a 45 at home, amazingly enough.

P. sure this was Rainbow's only Top 40 in the US. (It peaked at 40 lol.)

I know Deep Purple is hardly a one-hit wonder but it blows my mind that this nearly made the Top Ten in the year of Bruce, Madonna and Prince.

Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days
(actually they had another hit or two... this was the only one to make it to ·1 tho...)
― Moka, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 13:56 (2 years ago) Permalink
I would have sworn "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" was a bigger hit.
Yeah, in the US anyway "Dance Hall Days" hit 16 and "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" hit 2 and "Let's Go" hit 9.
Their best song, "Fire In The Twilight" from "The Breakfast Club" soundtrack, wasn't a hit at all ;_;

Yeah, Fire in the Twilight is great.

I'd include Benjamin Orr's 'Stay The Night' here but I don't know if that technically counts as a One Hit Wonder because of Orr's vocals on The Cars 'Drive'. Two hit wonder then? Sure.
― Leopard on the Cheetos Bag (MintIce), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 20:46 (2 years ago) Permalink
I would count it.
― Dreaded Burrito Gang (DJP), Tuesday, 3 May 2011 20:47 (2 years ago) Permalink
I would too, and it's a better song than "Drive."
There I said it.

Orr-sung Cars singles that hit the Top 40: "Just What I Needed, "Let's Go," "Why Can't I Have You," "You Are The Girl."

huh
I don't think I realized until just now that he sang all of my favorite Cars songs

Ric Ocasek's a one hit wonder too! "Emotion in Motion," remember.

They did release several albums and still have some present-day cache, though.

Oh man, Joboxers, had forgotten about that song! (Although I remembered the Trouser Press review starting "Responsible for a brief Dead End Kids fashion fad in Great Britain...")

Daryl Hall's "Dreamtime" is a good choice.

Eurogliders went to #21 on the Billboard US Mainstream Rock tracks chart, Cock Robin went to #35, and Joboxers went to #36.
