Since the end of the 80s, the music industry only cares about putting out one hit and banking off of it. They don't promote or care about the rest of the tracks on an album, which are usually pure shit... but sometimes they are top 10 worthy.

They're just going for the fast buck and on to the next one hit wonder/image maker. Britney Spears really only had one hit... the rest were all forced upon us.

was barbie girl mentioned already?

that was funny aqua was the group i think

I have a thing for 8o's pop music, especially euro pop since I grew up during the 80's over there


One hit wonders I really like

Robick Beck - The Very First Time (Coke commercial song)

Samantha Fox-Naught girls need love too

Martika- Toy Soldiers

Glenn Medeiros- Nothing's gonna change my love

Will To Power- Babey I love your way


More recent one hit wonders I like

Paperboy- Ditty

Willa Ford - I wanna be bad

I really miss old EURO-80's pop. Can anyone recommend more songs for me

like Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson, nothing too serious pls.

:helpme

I believe Aqua had more than one hit song too

that's nothing new - been that way as long as i've been around.


Meredith Brookes - I'm a wife, I'm a mother, I'm a whore and a plumber ..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Rico Suave by Gerardo
What were we thinking to make that a hit?

Did she have a song called Martika's Kitchen? I masturbated to that video frequently.

i love that song that shit is tight
he did a version especially for ks107.5 in denver
it was tight

All I Need - Jack Wagner the hunky hearthrob Frisco from General Hospital

is david hasselhoff really like a huge pimp in germany or is that some stupid american rumor

O'h yea I forgot, I also really like

Taylor Dane- Tell it to my heart

Milli Vanilli- Girl you know it's true

Yes, I know they didn't really sing the song but I don't care, I like the beat, it sounds SO GOOD, and the video is hilarious!

Chumbawumba - Tub thumping or whatever the fuck that tune was called...

Milli Vanilli had more than one hit song

no that is actually true, Hasselhoff was big in Germany. and here is some David Hasselhoff trivia - he had a huge pay per view event, a David Hasselhoff live concert from Germany or something like that he was promoting like crazy - guess what night it was on - the night O.J. Simpson went on his drive in the white Bronco - about 3 people bought Hasselhoff's PPV show.

Egyptian Lover - "Egypt Egypt"

Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight

Falco had more hits than just Rock me amadeus, atleast in EU he had....

Ton Loc also had Funky Cold Medina

I can't believe nobody has mentioned

"I'm Walkin' on Sunshine"
Katrina & The Waves

I guess it's too obvious.

I'd hardly call Soft Cell a one hit wonder...

100 played out tunes

Not trying to pick on you but Cab Calloway had at least Minnie the moocher as another hit.

David Hasselhoff was big in Germany at the end of the eighties - shame on us :helpme

Lighting Seeds with "Football's coming home" - an all-time classic, but never heard of the band again

Silverchair - Tomorrow I liked every song their first CD. I bought the 2nd one and every song on it totally sucked.

Anybody remember Don Johnson's "Heartbeat"?

He was big in Miami Vice, but his singing career wasn't that big:winkwink:

aah c'mon does noone remember

Ramajam's Black Betty or The Knack's My Sharona?

Ya'll are sticking with your generation, for the most part. How many one-hit wonders had a movie made about that hit? I know of one...The Wonders (Oneders) "That Thing You Do"

..or Howard Jones' 'What is Love' ?

...or indeed that seminal classic The Vapors 'Turning Japanese' ?

Black Betty is a classic!!

what about Karen Young --Hot shot

more than words

cherone or some shit like that.

oh forgot about the Knack.. good call

the romantics- what i like about you.

Did someone get "Video killed the Radio Star"?

UGLY KID JOE (was a hater)

...and its now time to hit the sack, I'll leave it at Judie Tzuke's 'Stay with me till Dawn'

"Kung Foo Fighting"...can't even remember the guy who did it. Bad DJ!

and it's like 8 am here and I need to sleep. :(

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the sky. :)

i forgot who sang detatchable penis but i think that qualifies

Without reading 3 pages...."Groove is in the heart"

forget the band name:2 cents:

deelite

"More Than Words" was by the band Extreme - and they had many popular tunes. More Than Words was just overplayed. It was on the album "PornoGraffitti" which also spwawned the equally huge hit, "Hole Hearted." Other tunes off that disk that received acclaim, and much airplay at the time, were "Decadence Dance," "Get the Funk Out," the title track & "He Man Woman Hater."

Other songs that were quite popular by Extreme, include "Kid Ego" and "Mutha, Don't wanna go to School Today" off their first album. Also on that album was thier song, "Play With Me" which was a hit off the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack. It's the radical guitar jam that you hear during the scene with all the dead notables running amuck in the San Dimas Mall.

Thier third album was a concoction of the band's various influences that they made the way they wanted and against the advice of their record company. It was eagerly anticipated after the "EXTREME" success of "PornoGraffitti," was self-produced and was a massive flop. Gary Cherone (their singer) went on to do a brief stint as the lead singer of Van Halen. Nuno (guitar/vox/songwriter) released a solo album or two that can best be described as eclectic.
