Correction: it's Men Without Hats.

I heard this only a few weeks ago with just isolated vocals and no music. It was the first time it registered with me what the song was actually about. Incredible really, I underrated it.

I really loved Blind Melon - No Rain

I think it kept Ultravox off number one with their huge hit Vienna. Which sadly meant they never hit number one.

You should have a listen to ‘Change’ from them so, such a good tune!

It was huge loss when the singer did a Kurt Cobain, they were just hitting the big time.

I was a massive fan

Not sure of the musical knowledge or maybe you just missed the others songs by the artists that also charted but a lot of musicians/ bands above were not OHW (means One Hit Wonders for those seemingly unsure)

I mean Oasis a OHW FFS?

Plus the singer and main songwriter has written loads of songs for or with other artists since. He has a very recognisable style.

Don’t think it really counts because they both have multiple hits.
