* Actually, even though people call Falco a "one hit wonder" he did have other known songs aside from Rock me Amadeus: Der Komissar and Vienna Calling are two of his lesser known hits (And der Komissar was covered by another great 80s wonder After The Fire!)

VH-1 did a entire show about one hit wonders with William Shatner hosting.

No one is really being all that nasty, but we will correct you so if you are looking for music or movies you will have that appropriate names and artists.
WE are DEVO

Simple Minds are hardly one hit wonders lol: they're a key early 80s New Wave band, who then went mainstream in the mid 80s before eventually imploding after frontman Jim Kerr began singing about political issues in a faux Irish accent!
I'll nominate DEVICE - HAMGING ON A HEART ATTACK for this thread, although, again, not strictly a one hit wonder, as I think the track WHO SAYS also charted, briefly. They put out a now hard to find (but absolutely excellent), album in a Pop/AOR style circa 1986 and then called it a day.

The criteria for One Hit Wonders does vary depending on whether you are from the UK or the US. In the UK, it tends to mean 'someone who has only had one hit'. Over stateside, it means 'someone who has only had one hit that I have heard or can remember...'
Many of our most memorable artists never really made it over in the US - Dexy's and Simple Minds included. We should just feel sorry for them missing out on so much great music..... Posts: 3646 | From: Shermer, IL - where else? | Registered: Mar 2001 | Site Updates: 37

I dont see In a Big Country by Big Country on your list. Thats a great song. At least I think that was their only hit. If I'm wrong please tell me.

But I was under the impression that Don't You Forget About Me was the track that broke Simple Minds in the US in a big way - didn't they start doing stadium gigs ala Depeche Mode?
