Babylon Zoo - Spaceman

Soory to be pedantic but BZ had 3 more chart "hits" including the follow up which went to number 17.

I think the term "hit" used to apply to any song that made the official top 75 so getting your mum and all your mates to buy it used to get you a hit. Laughing out loud

Dolly Dagger once said something funny on this forum - never happened again. Does that count? ;)

Manny Pacquiao...

Zagar and Evans - In The Year 2424

Did they release that before their monster hit - In The Year 2525?

Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting

I believe he also charted with Run Back, more of the Northern Rock genre.

Northern Lights - Rennaissance
5705 - City Boy
I got you - Split Enz

for a start............

Saw Split Enz live. They were very good. They had a really odd member called Noel Crombie IIRC.
