This blog is inspired by Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen". That's one of the best one hit wonders and also one of the best 80s songs ever. It made me start thinking of what are the greatest one hit wonders of all-time. Which ones are the best sellers, the most popular or any other metric that can be used.
According to Ranker.com, these are the Top 26 one hit wonders:
Why Top 26? Because this song is so cool, it's definitely an all-time Top 100 song. 26) Lipps Inc. "Funky Town":
Perhaps the worst facial hair ever? 25) Mungo Jerry "In The Summertime":
24) Gary Numan "Cars":
They have a lot of great songs, I doubt they are a one hit wonder. 23) Dead or Alive "You Spin Me 'Round (Like A Record)":
22) Semisonic "Closing Time":
21) Chumbawumba "Tubthumping":
20) Toni Basil "Mickey":
19) M "Pop Musik":
18) Fountains of Wayne "Stacy's Mom":
17) Men Without Hats "Safety Dance":
16) Thin Lizzy "The Boys Are Back In Town":
15) Nena "99 Luftballoons"
14) The Vapors "Turning Japanese":
