Get It On (Bang A Gong) which I believe was the bigger hit. I'll have to look that up.
edit... nope Some Like It Hot was indeed bigger

They had one hit. They had several singles that did nothing and several albums. If you want to include over-seas chart success then they aren't one hit.

Quite possibly the greatest one hit wonder...
One Night in Bangkok!!! - Murray Head (trivia: brother of the actor in Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show) and who can forget this one... Peter Schilling - Major Tom tons more... Falco - Der Kommissar Charlie Dore - Pilot of the Airwaves The Church - Under the Milky Way Tonight |

I know. I just love their shit. So I'm choosing to bury my head in the sand and believe that they are not a one hit wonder.

Eh "hits" aren't even the goal of some bands. Pink Floyd didn't make hits they made great music. Alice Cooper is technically a one hit wonder... but that hardly defines him. Charts are just for whats popular, whatever kind of chart it is.

Yes. That's more like it. I thought Major Tom was Bowie for some reason. Herp Derp. Falco had "Rock Me, Amadeus" though. |
