Comment:

If you're going to have only one hit, it had better be good, and our '70s one-hit wonders produced some biggies. The Shocking Blue made #1 in 1970 with "Venus," and though [i]they[/i] never got there again, the song went back two more times (in '81 and '86) for two different acts. The Buggles made a splash in 1979 with their ode to olden times, "Video Killed the Radio Star," but they couldn't know how prophetic the song would be — two years later, it was the first-ever played on MTV.
