I was surprised to see that Mickey by Toni Basil was in the Top Ten WORST One Hit Wonders. I'd've put it in this list of the ten BEST.

Doop was number one for two weeks in 1994 and was the 23rd best selling single of the year (in the days when peopel bought singles.)

I am sure Tinman charted highly too.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Swamp Thing - The Grid

Not one hit wonders, Texas Cowboy was better too. I am proud to own their album.
