'U Can't Touch This' was only MC Hammer's 5th highest charting song in the US, fun fact.

Rogue Traders obviously got to #3 with Voodoo Child but how many of you remember Watching You going to #33 straight after it
Technotronic had 6 Top 40 singles (7 if you count the Megamix) but Pump Up The Jam just overshadows everything else. |

I suppose Meghan Trainor to an extent. I mean she's had some success with other songs such as 'No', but will be remembered for 'All About That Bass'

Dead Or Alive had seven top 40 hits (not counting re-releases) but good luck trying to find someone (outside the chart history fandom) who can name another song of theirs besides You Spin Me Round.

Some of the examples in this thread are quite tenuous but Dead Or Alive is the perfect example - I couldn't name another one of their seven Top 40 hits! |

Until Pete Burns's death, I couldn't do it either but then I searched for more DoA songs and now Something In My House is my personal fave of theirs. |

QUOTE(dan.G @ Feb 20 2020, 04:45 PM) i’m sure there’s quite a lot of dance examples but one of the most baffling in retrospect is that Alice Deejay somehow managed five top 20 hits. quite a few around the turn of the millennium: Darude, ATB, DJ Quicksilver, Sonique, The Tamperer, Phats and Small and So Solid Crew come to mind.
