Boardsies Greatest One Hit Wonder Song

Kolido

Welcome to the Boardsies greatest One Hit Wonder song.

Remember that song but can't remember much else from the act, that's what we are looking for here.

As I can't find a definitive definition of a one hit wonder, I will place some criteria for entries.

The act must not have had no more than 3 top 20 singles in the UK or US charts (mainstream charts)
The act must be primarily known for the song entered
The act may have had success in another band or as a solo artist.

I will leave this opened until I get a good number to go ahead with. Please PM me your 5 song picks, please include the act name.

Such a great idea for a thread, thanks Kolido!

I went for one hit wonders from the 80's - this is when I started listening to and learning music!!

I did yeah and ironically ever since I've been attracted to cougar's..

I still think she's hot, denim shorts and leg's, clevage etc

That doe eyed eyetallian look, she did a duet recently with Samantha fox yes and I liked it ðŸ˜

Thanks for all the submissions so far. A word of advice for anyone still to submit, dont avoid the obvious expecting someone elae will pick them.

In a break from the norm here, I will be submitting my own 5, I will post them on thread for clarity.

But 5 is just not enough, I had to leave out BBC radio DJs with one offs, TV series personalities real and not so real, numerous real one hit wonders from the likes of the wurzels, paper lace etc.

As Oliver Twist said " Please sir, can I have some more?"

I agree. I propose that everyone should be allowed to submit one more one hit wonder.

What ya say Kolido?

Everyone can now pick 6 songs, if you have already submitted, please add one more, and remember, you can still change your picks until we close. Anyone who has still to submit, please choose 6 songs when doing so.

We are currently at over 70 unique picks, I will keep this opened for another few days and see how far get.

As mentioned yesterday, I will be picking also. Here are my picks.

Europe - The Final Countdown
Climie Fisher - Love Changes Everything
John Waite - Missing You
Chesney Hawkes - You and Only
Unkle Kracker - Follow Me
Sugar Ray - Every Morning

I do this too

Some good memories in there.

I think there's a difference between acts who only had one hit song and acts who'd be described as one hit wonders. I think at least two that I submitted would qualify for the former description. Regardless, this should be an interesting battle for the best.

Kolido

We currently have 95 unique songs, 9 of those are multi nominated and will be seeded. How these will be seeded I'm not sure yet. If we got 128 songs we could run with a straight knock out format, keeping the seeded songs apart in the first round.

If we don't reach this number, we can figure something out. I will leave this opened for another while.

Kolido

We have the song list complete, for clarity, I added some wild card songs as we didn't enough to run with a straight knock out.

I will get the pairing for round 1 sorted and we can start the contest then.

Thanks to everyone for submitting songs, please stand by for live thread.

Kolido

Thread is live, first match will start shortly

The correct and only acceptable answer is White Town - Your Woman

God damn it, just dawned on me that nobody submitted this in the end.

Really should've listened to Kolidio here....

Just listened to Your Woman there, it really is a monster of a tune.

I had a list of ones that didn't make it and I've been adding to it in the last few days as more pop to mind. I'm up to 34!
