The 80s was and is the pinnacle of music. The 80s is when music changed forever. New sounds and new styles of music were being made every day. New Wave, Dance, Freestyle, Pop, Rock, Punk, Jazz, Country, Hip Hop, R&B. House Music, if you youngsters don't know what Freestyle Music and House Music is look it up and prepare to move your feet. No one in the 50s was talking about 40s music and no one in 60s was talking about 50s music. The 60s and 70s had some great music but you do not hear them too much. We are in 2024 and we are still listening and dancing and talking and using them in movies tv shows and commercials. 40 years later 4 decades later 80s music is still as relevant as ever. That is how good our music is. Gen X BABY!

I thought of a few others that meets the criteria, at least with the US charts: Chilliwack- My Girl, I Believe (also had a #41 hit in 1982 with Whatcha Gonna Do) Pretty Poison- Catch Me I'm Falling, Nighttime Jermaine Stewart- We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off, Say It Again Vixen- Edge Of A Broken Heart, Cryin' Icehouse- Crazy, Electric Blue Brenda K. Starr- I Still Believe, What You See Is What You Get Berlin also technically falls into this category with their two Top 40 hits Take My Breath Away and No More Words. I don't believe they should be considered a two hit wonder because The Metro (#58 song from 1983) is the most popular with their fans and is well known from the 1980's.

Rena Day had the best voice I've ever heard and her range was phenomenal. Michael, unfortunately died of a brain tumor cutting short a very talented life. Where did all this happen? Champaign, Illinois. Now you know where they got the name of the band.

Eight Wonder were not a wonder of only 2 hits! In Italy they were very famous before 1988, because they reached top 10 already in 1986 with Stay with me and then in 1987 with Will you remember! They had also 2 more singles in the charts: When the phone stops ringing and Baby baby. Stay with me, their first single, reached even No.1 in the Hit Parade of Rai, the state television. You know in Italy we did not have an official ranking until 1996 but we had three rankings of three specialised magazines, but the one linked to the television state was then the most universally accredited. The date you find today on Wikipedia are from the magazine Musica & Dischi, where Stay with me still reached number 4.

Glass Tiger could have qualified for this video (in the US; they had a really good chart run in their native Canada). "Don't Forget Me" and "Someday" were top ten hits, but their subsequent top 40 singles stalled at #31 and #34. I was surprised to find out "Send Me an Angel" was released in 1983. It sounds *way* ahead of its time, and if you'd told me it came out in 1995 I would have believed it.

Then the QR success convinced the label to release a mashup of their last two UK albums for the US market and MTV gave them a push as well.

I legit think Sidney Youngblood deserves a comeback hit. Like a summer hit nobody expects but it blows up in the clubs and on the beaches anyway. Maybe he should team up with Tone-Lōc.

Not surprised to learn that 'Mister Mister', and 'Cutting Crew' each had a string of hits in the US; as opposed to just two hits each, here in the UK. They were both 'tailormade' for the American market, as Americans loved that kind of 'soft rock' music back then.

Let's be honest here, Mr Mister was an experiment, it worked for 3 albums, the 4th, that should have stayed in the archives when they broke up. If Richard Page hadn't been so busy with every other band in the world I think they would have been huge.
