Which single? I looked at Wikipedia and tbh I can't recall any of them by title alone.

Just because I'm now obsessively stuck on the pedantry, I checked and Joboxers were #39 on Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" the week of Nov. 5, 1983. If Casey got to say your record's name on the radio, it was a hit AFAIC! And Cock Robin was at #36 the week of Aug. 4, 1985. Eurogliders, not so much, but it's still a great tune.

Okay, I remember that Mel & Kim song (barely).

I remembered the name Danny Wilson (probably because I'd seen the record a lot when flipping through dusty lp bins), but I'd forgotten completely the song they were famous for. That's NICE.

According to my Joel Whitburn Billboard book, "Just Got Lovely" was a top forty hit, yes.

re: Scandal - you've probably heard "Goodbye to You" before, even if you didn't realize who it was by.

You're right I heard "Goodbye to you"! I checked and it only hit #65 though. There's been plenty of acts listed here who even had more than one top 10, such as Glass Tiger and Corey Hart. (x-post)
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:19 (2 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, I knew that about Glass Tiger and Corey Hart w/o even looking it up, but I was trying to be non-pedantic at the time.
