One Hit Wonders of the 1980s
As with every era of music, if you didn't make the grade in all the vital areas, you were soon forgotten as other better sounding, better looking, more uniquely creative acts appeared.
Here are some featured one-hit wonders who had one hit top charts in both the US and UK. It is my intention to rotate video content of this page, or possibly to create sequels, as there is just no way to include all the songs which deserve to be here in one page.
