Big Country a one hit wonder,

Are you for real,

Big Country is one of the best Scottish bands ever (and there's a lot to pick from)

I think people are getting confused with what makes a one hit wonder...the verve? pfft

Anyhow

You will all hate me for this one lol.

Mmmbop Hanson lol



The best ever one hit wonder that continues to make Carl douglas cash.

Impossible to choose one or even 10 favorites. Quite a few of my favs have been posted already

Start with these two. Although Time Bandits had two top 10 hits, this was the only one that was huge in South Africa.



Love this one so much.

My favorite 80's one hit wonder.



Favorite 90's one hit wonder.

Lots of entries here were actually good groups and not one hit wonders. Come on The Scorpions one hit wonders....really?

I believe they were "one hit wonders"

Anyways I love this song!

Not shabby for a 2 person group.....

GET THE KNACK!

I gotta go with this one just because of the back-story. No multiple mics or multi-track back in those days. Everything else went without a hitch so, rather than risk another take that wasn't perfect, they left in a glaring mistake. Listen at the end of the lead guitar break. The singer comes in too early and has to wait 'til next trip around...

I'm stunned no one posted this yet:

Maybe because Eurythmics had many hits, and not just one?

Are you sure?

achieve global success with their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), released in 1983. The title track was a worldwide hit, topping the chart in various countries including the US. The duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split in 1990.

Wow, I had no idea. I thought they just disappeared. I'm going to have to call a "time slip" on this one.
