Most Successful One Hit Wonders Songs Of Each Month In The 80s In Europe

What's your favourite 80s One Hit Wonder?

From an American standpoint, Kim Carnes, Ray Parker Jr, & Cutting Crew all had multiple Top 10 hits in the US. Berlin had 3 big hits with TMBA, no more words & the metro. But if it's from a European point of view then I'm not certain. Otherwise good job!

Five singles that have entered the annual top five in Italy that I would have expected to see.
Although Paradise and Run to me were only successful in Italy.

Amoureux solitaires - Lio. Fifth best-selling single in Italy in 1981.
Paradise - Phoebe Cates. Second best-selling single in Italy in 1982.
I like Chopin - Gazebo. Second best-selling single in Italy in 1983.
Self control - Raf. Third best-selling single in Italy in 1984.
Run to me - Tracy Spencer. Third best-selling single in Italy in 1986.

I think this must be mainland Europe as several of these artists were not one hot wonders in the U.K.

Depends on country of 1 hit wonder

Love it!!!

I know it's a year since but there are many acts in this clip are not one hit wonders.

Wow and we thought today’s music was bad

Fun fact - Limahl made it here twice. Once as part of Kajagoogoo, then by himself

Well, Robbie Neville had few more succesful singles, as well as Dead or Alive.

It's better to be a one hit wonder than a no hit wonder.

No shot you called Ofra Haza a one hit wonder. She had lots of hits, a legend

Why no rick astley

70s, 90s, 00s and 10s please?

John Farnham ofcourse ❤ The GOAT

Yeah it’s European
But in Australia John Farnham is massive , regarded as a living legend . Out 72 singles 21 top 20’s with 4 number 1’s including You’re The Voice . Age Of Reason in 1988 , Raindrop Keep Falling On My Head ( cover ) in 1970 and Sadie The Cleaning Lady ( novelty song ) in 1967/68
John Farnham’s in the late 80’s and 90’s are all Multi platinum chart topping albums in Australia . John Farnham 1986 Whispering Jack album highest selling album in Australia by an Australian artists. John Farnham’s recording career started in 1967 but probably retired now in 2022 with record sales in Australia alone about 7 million .
In Europe and the UK yeah one hit wonder but not in Australia .John Farnham even 2 top 20 hits in USA while he was the lead singer of the Little River Band in the early 80s with The Other Guy and We Two

Ray Parker Jr. isn't a one hit wonder. What about his hit songs "A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)" "The Other Woman" & "You Can't Change That"

baltimora tarzan boy favorite song!!!!!!

ALL THESE SONGS HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON , THEY ALL HAVE " MEGA BASS "

How are Living in a box 1 hit wonders they've had many hits
