All of the answers in this quiz were one-hit wonders (OHWs) in the '80s. My definition of OHW is very liberal. If an artist is known in Australia (or at least, to me
) primarily for a single song, then it's a OHW. Some artists might have had other hits elsewhere (eg the UK). Some artists may have had a string of hits when working with a particular group, but only one well-known hit as a solo artist or working on a side project. A handful of "few hit wonders" might have snuck in. None of the artists is Aussie - I exhausted most of them in an earlier quiz.Blue questions have been correctly answered.
