Falco is no one hit wonder. Perhaps it's After The Fire he's referring to.

Then again it does depend what country your're in. For example Jona Lewie only had two hits here in his home country but was hugely popular in Europe.

I agree Country makes a huge difference... in either case in this instance though Jona Lewie is not a true one hit wonder...

I think there are some artists that are truely one hit wonders.... regardless of country though... they are the ones I (personaly) am interested in... but they can be very hard to find..

I could _guess_ at maybe Toni Basil and Marilyn as 2 examples...?

TM

Jonia Lewie was an example of an artist being more popular elsewhere.

Marilyn has had more than one hit here; 'Cry and Be Free' and 'You Don't Love Me' were also top 40 hits here.
