Comment:

I have been wanting to compile all my one hits for a long time. So I finally did it. I realize some of these may not be true one hits, some artists may have had other hits or maybe made it big in other countries. But for the most part these are my favorite one hits as I know them to be. I love the 80's!

Of all the one-hit wonders of the '80s, you chose some of the best, including "Pop Muzik", "In a Big Country" (although they did have "Fields of Fire" also), "The Promise", "I Want Candy", and the annoying yet ever-listenable "Electric Avenue". Actually, that's kind of a recurring theme of one-hit wonders, or at least most of the ones are here: they're really irritatingly goofy, yet so catchy and addictive that you can't resist them.

Red Rider as a one-hit wonder?
