    Believe it or not, Shut Uppa Your Face prevented the classic Ultra Vox track Oh Vienna from getting to number one.
    One of the greatest travesties in rock history when you think about it!

    OK he got a name for himself after that if you like but everything after Baker Street pailed into insignificance really....just about scrapes in as a one hit wonder,though I know where you're coming from in not being in total agreement.

    Mr Blobby was the same, it was that difficult second album that did it for him.

    Quite a few of those named are not one hit wonders in the true sense - ie one and only one appearance on the chart ever, but most tend to be the only tune from that particular artist that we remember. Gerry Rafferty obviously does not come under that category as you rightly point out DA9. The Guinness Book only counts those that actually made number one with their only chart hit as one hit wonders.
