The 1980s were a magical time of synthesizers, heavy drums, and super peppy music to make you forget all about Reaganomics and its financial ruination of the lower income brackets. It was also a time for a lot of one-hit wonders which are still remembered fondly today. Time has a way of making people forget things though, including how some “one-hits” were not a one and done at all.
There are several examples of where an artist or band had more than one song to hit the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, the qualifier for hit status. As is often the case though, sometimes one song can be so enormously popular that it overshadows other ones, and is the one that gets remembered as the years go by. So to shed some light on some forgotten hits, let’s take a listen to five artists/bands who had more than just the one hit that you can use to mix-up your playlist.
