I don't know who needs to hear this, but Men Without Hats are not a one hit wonder. Yes, "The Safety Dance" was their biggest song, but by no means was it their only hit.
"Pop Goes The World" was seemingly everywhere in 1987. I know this because I was there. It was huge in Canada, on high rotation on Top 40 radio, like Toronto's 680 CFTR, but it also peaked at #20 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
This term "one-hit wonder" requires specific parameters. For starters, are we talking about Canada or the USA? Alannah Myles is a one-hit wonder in the USA, but not in Canada. Men Without Hats is not a one-hit wonder in either country.
