Nope, not me.... I've not been there as yet.... I played a lot of cheesy stuff amongst the good ones when I did a dj stint a while back.

1990 had a lot of my favourite one-hit-wonders:

Adventures of Stevie V - Dirty Cash
Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart
DNA feat. Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner
Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven
Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You
Partners In Kryme - Turtle Power
Patsy Cline - Crazy
The La's - There She Goes
The Soup Dragons - I'm Free

The song was always called "What's Up"

They had 6 top 10 hits, and 6 more top 40 hits!

"Finally" was her biggest hit, but she had 6 other hits, including the very similar "We Got A Love Thang" which got to number 6 a couple of months before "Finally" hit the charts.

Are you including the millions of records she sold when she was recording in the 50's and since her death in about 1963 in that assesment?

Oh yes, MARRS and Pump Up The Volume is deffo a great one hit wonder.

I also love Strawberry Switchblade's Since Yesterday as a Top 40 OHW.

I think that The La's & Partners In Kryme are the only one-hit wonders on that list. All the others had more than one top 40 hit.
