DC Tom Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Has no one mentioned "Mickey" by Toni Basil yet? That's the prototype for one-hit wonders. That and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I disagree with SDS on this one. i think the 80s were the decade of the one-hit-wonder. Example: he had way more than one hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought this thread was for the "best" 1 hit wonders, not the ones that make you want to drive a dull pencil through your eardrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn in your man card. But great call on "Fade Into You." Was thinking of mentioning that one. However I don't think that qualifies as a "hit."
