When adding the weeks for all of Phil Collins' number-one singles during the 1980s, it comes out to 15. (This does not include the Genesis song "Invisible Touch".) However, "Another Day in Paradise" spent its final two weeks at number one in 1990—January 6 and 13—so those two weeks do not count toward his tally in the 1980s.
The '80s may be gone, but they’re far from forgotten. Relive the magic of the raddest decade with these best 1980s one-hit wonders that still get us singing!
The song that had the longest run atop the chart during the 1980s was "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones at 13 weeks from the beginning of September through the first week of December in 1981. No other song had a run of more than 10 weeks. Tom Petty (with and without the Heartbreakers) was the act with the most number ones during the 1980s with 6.
On the other hand, some artists with long, successful careers have been identified as one-hit wonders by virtue of having reached the Top 40 of the Hot 100 only once. Consequence of Sound editor Matt Melis lists Beck ("Loser") and the Grateful Dead ("Touch of Grey") [6] as "technically" being one-hit wonders despite their large bodies of work. [7]
