if you are interested there are lists of these artists by decade at www.onehitwondercentral.com

[itc71]

i'm guessing this site is from american charts as kate bush t-pau soft cell to name a few where not 1 hit wonders in britain

[SHANIANUTS!]

I would agree - also I am not sure how accurate it is cuz several of these artists had other hits - at least I thought so - like Julie London and the The Elegants to mention just a couple.

[itc71]

i think they need to do their research better lol

[StarMan]

They forgot Jennifer Paige "Crush"
and Jam&Spoon "Right In The Night"

[StarMan]

I thought Kate Bush's biggest hit was "Wuthering Heights"

[SHANIANUTS!]

The also omitted The Aquatones "You" from 1958! That song is a spine tingler.

[SHANIANUTS!]

These are the lyrics - what a song and rendition:

YOU

The Aquatones

My darling, I'm lonely
Now that you're gone
Please come back to me
You are the answer to my prayer
I want to love you
And I swear to live my life
With one desire, you
I believed the sweet things that you said
You lied to me and instead you broke my heart
You, yes you

My darling come back and stay with me
I live just for you
We'll be so happy together
Please come back to me
It isn't right you'll never know
I am so sad why did you go
You broke my heart you, yes you
