Would've thought Lump was a bigger PUSA hit anyway. And was Dune Buggy a hit as well - sticks in my head anyway...

Also charted with 'Volcano', 'Mach 5' and (went top 10) with their excellent cover of 'Video Killed The Radio Star' from the Wedding Singer movie.

Andy Cole and Ian Wright both released songs - not sure if they did well enough to be called 'hits' though.

And of course, Paul McGrath had a hit here with "Ooh Aah Paul McGrath" :) which I did buy but it probably wasn't the happiest incident for himself and those who bought it. :(

Andy Cole, of course. "Outstanding" was the name of his awful effort.

The La's had a few minor hits I'm sure. I remember 'Way Out' was a good one, the one that goes 'Give it all you got now', but I can't recall if it charted or not. 'There She Goes' was re-released too and did it's best work second time out.

Has anyone mentioned "Turning Japanese" by The Vapours?

It was mentioned somewhere. This thread has gone on longer than the careers of most of the artists mentioned.

He should have had a load more hits in his incarnation as John Shuttleworth - particularly the classic 'Your like Manchester, You've got Strangeways'

That I concede!

Fiction Factory's "Feels Like Heaven" from the 80s was a catchy one, but the Vapors is the best I think.

Yeah that was a good one alright. The band featured one Mike Ogletree on drums who played a bit with Simple Minds.

Then it doesn't count Pauro.... simple! One hit wonder means only one hit. Not One major hit and a lorry load of minor ones!
