I don't know exactly how many number ones there have been or are....but I do know a few are only deserving of being the best. That being said, some one hit wonders are... well rather annoying ??..but they are still legit. If I had to pick for mine..... one would have to be Vanilla Ice's Ice ice Baby. Anywho, what says you?

Melanie (RIP) Brand New Key. Lay Down is a really good song too but hardly a "hit." Also not counting My Sharona.

Not a one-hit wonder. All the Love in the World was also a hit off of Play Deep as well as Say It Isn't So. Your Love was certainly the biggest, but they also had solid singles off the next few albums.

Some come to mind for me but I am sometimes uncertain if there may be other songs considered by an artist I am unaware of

Brandy by Looking Glass

Mississippi Queen by Mountain

Lunatic Fringe by Red RIDER

Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas

I know Midnight Oil has a cult following but I am not sure they had any hits other than Beds Are Burning

Spirit in The Sky by Norman Greenbaum

And please, anyone, let me know if I missed other hits by the artists above. I feel like it is likely
