Plot Synopsis

Back in 2002 VH1 aired "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders." Within minutes of airing the #1 pick ("Macarena" by Los Rios), viewers inundated VH1 phones to complain that A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran (So Far Away)" wasn't included anywhere in the countdown. Well, it only took seven years, but VH1 developed a countdown show that will definitely include A Flock of Seagulls. "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the '80s" counts down your favorite songs from the decade of SynthPop, Big Hair Bands, and Hip Hop. This time VH1 allowed viewers to vote for their top 10 songs online and help shape the countdown. You can virtually guarantee that a-ha's "Take On Me", Toni Basil's "Mickey", Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen", and Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" will be near the top of the charts. But will Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" or Bruce Willis' "Respect Yourself" or even XTC's "Dear God" crack the top 100?
