Pop Question

Since pop seems to be the subject tonight, here is a quick question.

In the UK, only two "one hit wonders" have sold more than 1 million copies, what are they ?

Re: Pop Question

Charity records are excluded - the artists involved have all had seperate hits.

Re: Pop Question

Is it one million combined or for each record?

Because if it's separate, won't it have to be an old song (20yrs or more), as aren't the current No 1s are lucky to get around 300,000 sales?

I think you are on the right track

Re: Pop Question

St Winifreds School Choir - No one quite like grandma

Plues they were also backing singers with Brian and Michael on their 1978 hit Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs.

Re: Pop Question

My guesses (looking at a 'one hit wonder page):

Macarena - Los Del Rio
It's Raining Men - the Weather Girls

Edit: Can I throw in Venus by Shocking Blue as well?

Re: Pop Question

okay - I can see google straining under the queries from here One was in the 1970's, the other in the 1990's. The one in the 1990's sold more and is therefore the highest selling (uk) one hit wonder.
