99 red balloons and I melt with you would be hits now.

I get that a cold war song & one w/racial insensitivity accusations could "only be made in the 80s" but I Melt You?🤷

The Buggles don't really fit in this category. One-hit wonders have only one hit and the members are never heard from again. The Buggles were Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn. Downes left for, and had great success, with Yes and Asia. Horn became a full-time producer and had numerous hits.

Numerous hits is a bit of an understatement! Trevor Horn produced some of the biggest hits of the early 80s.

“Turning Japanese” existed again with Kirsten Dunst.
