One of Jim McGuinn's favorite songs of all time is "Uptown Top Ranking" by British reggae duo Althea and Donna — which was No. 1 this week in 1978 in England. A classic one-hit wonder, a great song that lives on, still popping up in TV shows and commercials. This week on Teenage Kicks, we celebrate one-hit wonders, the artists whose connection with the mass public was fleeting. Some had long careers away from the charts, and The Current might be the one place where you could hear another song by Men Without Hats, Tommy Tutone — or Althea and Donna! But this week it’s the hits by the one hit wonders.
