Not sure this really counts as a hit (I think it might have been in the States?) but here's a modern indie classic that I'd completely forgotten about until it appeared in a ten-year-old Grey's Anatomy episode the other night...

Not a hit but a forgotten track from a shortlived duo comprising two people who had chart success Siobhan Maher of the River City People and Debbie Peterson of The Bangles

The theme tune to Fireball XL5, a Gerry Anderson Supermarionation thing, and perhaps the most interesting thing about it is the singer. Don Spencer became much more familiar to kids in Australia and Britain as the guitar-toting presenter of Play School through the seventies.

They got kinda forgotten after I’m Gonna Get You - but I really liked this number 21 hit from 1996 from Bizarre Inc.

Tony Di Bart managed a number one hit, this one charted but was nowhere near as big.

Aqua - Bumble Bees
# 6 in Denmark. It's a good pop track, which was released on single only in some countries.

I’m not sure that this was an actual hit - but they were heavily promoted in the early 90s, and loved this single.

Duane Eddy's twangy guitar version was monster monster. Jimmy Darren's vocal version...not so much.

The Sweet - Lies In Your Eyes (#35, January 1976)
The hits were drying up for the band by this point but I thought they were actually getting better. Much was made of the fact that there were similarities in sound between The Sweet and Queen but Freddie Mercury had already said that The Sweet had been a massive influence on Queen's sound. This record was released while 'Bohemian Rhaspody' was at number 1.
