Recent? Most of them are from the 80s, at least 4 are from the 70s

The people who did Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep did have other hits, but not another No. 1, so I take your point.

Good job I Beta test my quizes on you lot before I host my annual quiz nights, otherwise things like this cause near-fights!

Iris is by the Goo Goo Dolls. I always thought Achey Breakey Heart was by Elvis, but that's stretching the definition of One Hit Wonder a little too far I feel.

Moth - 'Touch Me' wasn't Sam Fox. Her song was 'Touch Me (I want to feel your body)*. You have to be a pedant to be a quiz master!



* But only if you're a lezzer, I presume

Out-pedanted

But according to the Guinness Book of Hit Singles, Lipps Inc only made no.2 in June 1980. It was kept off the top by the Theme from MASH by MASH. Another one-hit wonder

Ignoring what moff's already done.....

"Fire" - Crazy World of Arthur Brown
"Can you Dig it" - Pop Will Eat Itself, although I dispute the epithet of "one-hit wonder" in this case
"The One and Only" - Chesney Hawkes
"Live is Life" - Opus
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin
"I've Never Been to Me" - Charlene #
"Move Closer" - Phyllis Nelson. Aaah, fond memories of 10 to 2 snog-a-dog times
