One Hit Wonders of the 80s

Here is a video with a bunch of songs dubbed the “Top 10 Cheesiest One-Hit Wonders of the 1980s”, but right off the bat, they say the criteria used didn’t necessarily restrict it to one- hit wonders. Maybe they should have just stopped with “The Cheesiest”?

Whatever. Here are a bunch more one-hit wonders from the 80s they could have picked from but since they didn’t, it’s seems safe to assume that these one-hit wonders aren’t cheesy!
