I think a couple of the songs posted were hits in countries OTHER than USA. Please USA only.

Hey bud, i started the thread and i'm posting fron Canad(er) so i'm not shuttin' her down.... :D:D

p.s. Yeah, most of my entries are not one-hitters, more like 2 1/2 hitters. Terry Jacks is a no-hitter.

Okay, Pal. Somebody posted a song that was a hit in Russian.

I knew somebody wouldn't be happy with my request.

Well, at least I wouldn't post a Swedish one hit wonder (unless it was a world wide hit), but I think there's nothing wrong to include a song from the UK charts.

Forgot about this guy :slapface:

I think he's been hit more than once, though.

Extra credit for anyone who can figure out wtf he's saying :D

:blink: :blink: :blink:

No extra credit for me :lol: :lol:

Sorry to venture outside the USA, but it's fascinating to see how differently regarded artists are in different countries. (For example, Melanie certainly wasn't a one-hit-wonder in the UK--one of her other hits was Ruby Tuesday, for instance.)

I think it's fascinating too. Melanie had a following here but she wasn't super popular. I always loved her music.

:blink: Really? I think it was a pretty big hit in the UK and many European countries. It certainly was here.

I'm in the US - I have to look them up to see how they fared here. Quite possible they had a following and I missed the boat on them.

Edited to add - just did a quick search on them- seems they had minor success here and much more so in the UK.
