One Hit Wonders...

It seemed that there were a lot of singles that were released that weren't ever followed up with a charting single in the 80's. (I wouldn't say that this is limited to the 80's, but the hits were just so cool and memorable.) These artists became affectionately termed "One Hit Wonders." Here are just a few examples: (Watch the videos at your own risk.)
