Wow! You are obviously a master of 80s hits. From The Safety Dance, to Whip It, to Take On Me, you know your 80s One Hit Wonders! Great work!
oops
I got 5 out of 15!
Uh-oh! Though you knew a few of these glorious 80s one hit wonders, you were unable to correctly identify enough to pass the test! Thatโs okay! Most people know the common hits that were performed by bands or artists that stood the test of time but it takes a real music lover โ or a fantastic memory โ to remember the one hit wonders that came and went โ so we donโt blame you for missing a few!
