#6 ("True", by Spandau Ballet) was NOT a one-hit wonder! According to Billboard's Book of Top 40 Hits, they also charted with "Gold" (my personal favorite) and "Only When You Leave".

She's not a one-hit wonder. "Love Bizarre" with Prince was a hit as well.

#12 is "Two Of Hearts" by Stacey Q. I don't think she's truly a one hit wonder either.

Yeah and when you look at the quality of Soul II Souls music compared to the sheer garbage around now making No 1 it's a crying shame. :\'(

#3, I happen to know, is from "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, who again aren't a one hit wonder. That may have been their only top 40 hit in the U.S., but I think they had at least one other well-known song.

Peter Schilling to me wasn't really a one-hit-wonder, he had another song out in 1989 called "The Different Story", which happens to be a really good song!

It's the only song I know by them and being that it was thier only Top 40 hit in the USA...I think that alone could qualify it as a 1 hit wonder :-\\ At least here in the States ;)

Guys, don't you think this 'discussion' should be in a Soft Cell blog somewhere?This is a quiz and no has bothered to guess at anything for at least two weeks now. Can we finish? ::)
