@MN5 as you say. Different band. But I guess you have a point.
We started a thread for one hit wonders but fuck it I’ll chuck this here.
Same era and WAY more of a OHW than the above

I can’t accept that as a one hit wonder when he sung “ Stuck in the Middle with you” ( admittedly with different band members )
We've had this discussion before. "Right Down the Line" is also a popular GR song on the same album as "Baker Street".

Baker Street never made no.1, while this song was no.1 in one of the Billboard charts.

I had to look that up. The “Adult Contemporary “ chart.
That’s weak. -

Upgraded the music system with a new streamer - huge difference. This came up. Awesome production.

@MN5 Leaving aside the fact that they had a gazillion hits in the Netherlands and elsewhere you are ignoring
which was actually there biggest hit reaching the Billboard Top 10 in the early 80's
I was living in southern NL at the time. It was incessant.

I stand corrected…….sort of…….
Google confirms these guys have been prolific but ask your average person on the street to name a second song of theirs and they’ll very likely stare blankly.

Really ? It’s a song that everyone knows I would have thought even if they don’t know the name of the band.

The average person on the street probably doesn't even know that Golden Earring sang Radar Love. I hear Twilight Zone on the radio occasionally but it sounds like a completely different band, and a song of its time.
I remember this vividly one a trip to the tip with the old man, great memories of something coming on the radio ( Radio Windy I think it was back then ) and him seeing if I knew who sang it. He told me these guys were Dutch which blew my mind as I though any decent band was either British or American.

It really isn't one that ever stuck in my consciousness. I just went and read about it to work out what the story was. Seems that when I was about 9 it was just among the top 100 songs of the year with a fleeting appearance at top 10.
Seems, however that it had a resurgence in popularity through covers and recognition in rock circles in the 80s and 90s (not really in my music sphere). Almost a cult thing rather than crossover popularity. You can see why. It would have a lot of respect musically among those circles.
I recognise the song but wouldn't have recalled it off the cuff.
