Unlike OneHit Wonders this collection is from Artists who, whilst had a number of hits, only one of them has turned out to be a classic. That's in my opinion of course.

PUBLISHED - Oct 2007

"I'm Not In Love" sung by 10cc, No1 in 1975. Their other No1's were 'Rubber Bullets' 1973 and 'Dreadlock Holiday' 1978. Four talanted guys these. Kevin Godley & Lol Creme split in 1976, to form Godley & Creme. Eric Stewart went on to collaborate on Paul McCartney's solo albums (Bet Paul edits his Wikipedia entry himself) and Graham Gouldman wrote a string of hits.

"Will You" sung by Hazel O'Conner, No8 in 1981. From the 1980 punk classic film Breaking Glass. Ends with the best sax solo ever.

"Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins, No4 in 1983. Highest they got... Doctor Doctor No3 and You Take Me Up No2, both in 1984.

"Slave to the Rythem" sung by Grace Jones. From the 1985 album of the same name, it was produced and jointly written by Trevor Horn, remember 'Video Killed the Radio Star'.
