I enjoyed the quiz! However, one of the problems with labeling an artist as a "One Hit Wonder" is overlooking the fact that the artist may have had greater success in other countries or other genres. You may get negative feedback from people that are familiar with additional material from these artists on Album Rock stations (Asia) or Jazz and Soul stations (Patrice Rushen) or on Australian stations (Midnight Oil.) You'd have to be very specific and say, "One Hit Wonders in the United States on Top 40 Radio." No hate, but I've seen this happen on other "One Hit Wonder" sites and I would spare you the heartache!

Thank you, I appreciate the concern and you couldn’t be more right :) The songs here are mainly taken from «VH1’s Top 100 one-hit wonders of the 80’s». As a Norwegian, I had to exclude A-ha from the list for the reasons you mention. You’ve got a couple of other great examples there and I’m sure there’s more. I don’t mind if people share their opinions as long as they keep it civil. I’m learning a lot from this little community :)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - one hit wonder! That was fun, they got 4 - 5 songs at least from their debutalbum that was hits.

Not one hit wonders in the UK: Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Soft Cell, Kajagoogoo, A Flock of Seagulls (2 hits), Chris de Burgh, Mr Mister (2 hits), Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Buggles (although Video Killed the Radio Star was a hit in 1979 for us). Black Velvet by Alannah Myles was a 90s hit for us - 1990 when it was in our top 40.

Two artists that you labeled as "One Hit Wonders" that are actually not: Dead or Alive ( your song was "You Spin me 'Round"); but they also had a hit with "Brand New Lover". The second was Asia. You put their one hit as "Heat of the Moment"; but they also had a hit with "Only Time Will Tell".

23/30 Titles, 4 I'd never heard, and I actually named 3 wholes artists. Soft Cell, Devo, and Alannah Myles. I'm just young enough to not remember Black Velvet being on the radio, but my fam had the album on CD, so I had no idea that it was an 80s song or that Alannah Myles was a one hit wonder. I think Love Is was tied with Black Velvet for my favorite. Forget Me Not stumped me! I knew the music in the MIB song was copied from an older song, but I couldn't remember the name. Didn't even know it was a hit. I'm sad I didn't remember Midnight Oil. I knew that.
