sorry, A-ha had about three number ones and several albums (my sister still has them all), but maybe that was just in the UK. We have loads of wierd and wonderful one-hit-wonders here. Anyone remember the Mr Blobby no.1 for christmas???  |

I think that must've been just in the UK because they made the VH1 list at like number eight. |

Berlins "Take My Breath Away" didn't even make the list. I thought that was weird. |

Well, you yanks have it wrong yet again LOL. We had three albums from A-ha and morten haakett is still going in europe. Simple minds are still selling here too, they had multiple albums and chart singles here |

Macarena #1?? In what parallel universe? LMBO! How in the world did "who let the dogs out" make it so high on that list?? mind boggling! lol There are alot of really good ones that are far down the list that should be closer to the top! Theres a good one hit wonder that didn't make the list that I really like, anyone remember "toy soliers" by martika? hehehe  |

The Macarena sucked. The Lou Bega song "Mambo #5" was great though.  |

Katera I remember "toy soldiers" real well. How about "you light up my life" by Debbie Boone. For years you couldn't go any where without hearing that one.  |

well, to clear up something real quick, that list did acknowledge the fact that ah-a ejoyed international success, that list . . . though, is the worst. list. ever. *sigh* they have people on that list that were either groundbreaking, still doing music, or had sold millions of other albums (other than one they mention) . . .  |

Heh, A'Ha had another hit, Actually, maybe it wasn't a hit, but I, myself, was familiar with the song... (Hunting High & Low). Macarena was pretty well deserved in the number one position, though, I must agree.  |

There are artists on there that have more than one song...like twisted sister....but they are labelling artists like that as one hit wonders because they blew out with those songs and then the second, third or however many albums didn't even come close to comparing to the first one let alone having another song that compared to the one that they are famously known for. I know a lot of A-ha's songs....but Take on Me is the one that people remember, and probably 9 out of 10 times if you said hey remember A-ha people say who? but when you say the song or sing it they go OOOOOOH yeah I remember them! Name another song they did and sing it and most people would have no clue....I don't know what one hit wonder I would have voted number 1.......  |

Farley's dead on about Simple Minds (need proof?http://hallmusic.com/artist/simple_minds.htm LOL) they don't compile "best of" albums for one hit wonders. Same goes for Berlin... Maybe they didn't get a lot of airtime, but sales were huge!  I agree that Martika should have made the list with Toy Soldier (I actually bought that album, Toy Soldier was the only song that my ears could stand to hear! LOL)  |
