You know how much I love the stories of the great one-hit wonders of the rock era. Well, today we're starting off a new countdown series on the channel, and this one is going to be a blast… It’s the 10 best Bottled Lightning hits from a single year in the rock era. And to kick off the series, we’re targeting the halfway point of the 80s, including the story of powerhouse vocalist Alison Moyet who publicly rejected her biggest US hit, calling it weak and vowing to never perform it again and she has kept that promise… We’ve also got the supergroup The Firm featuring Jimmy Page, arguably the greatest guitarist ever, who let the lead singer Paul Rodgers play the guitar on their biggest hit, even though the singer could barely play. And then there's the song by Cock Robin that seemed innocent enough in the 80s, but whose lyrics read like a restraining order waiting to happen. The creepiest love song of the 80s, and it’s not Every Breath You Take. Plus Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill that went from millions of streams over 36 years to billions of views overnight due to one single use in a famous show… Let’s do it.
