Whole load of shit songs which hit the Top 10 in the UK, which by virtue of the number of records being bought at the time made the performers household names and the songs 'memorable'.
Already posted Joe Dolce
Here's Brian and Michael

@MiketheSnow Never heard that before and after 22 seconds I’m pleased that I hadn’t. Was that really a hit?
Maybe the criteria should be more global than regional. Some interesting crap as well as some gold in here though.
I know “tainted love” by Soft cell was mentioned earlier but that was a remake, so does that count? They made a hit but didn’t write it.

A couple that haven't been mentioned.
There is a connection to Tool in this band. I enjoyed it when it was released for the comic value.
Their one hit was a cover
Was I hate everything about you a hit?

That wasn't Ugly Kid Joe. Three Days Grace according to wiki.
They did a song called that too

No. 1 in the UK like a lot of these one-off songs. Normally around Christmas time or a major event.
TBF the UK chart is hardly regional. The number of records sold backs that up.
Soft Cell covered 'Tainted Love' for a hit, but had other hits too so doesn't meet the one hit measure

He had another hit with a song called Lemon Incest about his daughter.
