8. Nope!

She had 3 other singles, but although they didn't make it into the top 40, they DID chart. (#77, #81, and #82)

12. Nope! Incredibly enough...

...Barry had another song "The A-Team," that made it into the 30s on the Billboard 100.

He would have been my first guess too.

11. I think he's had a couple of minor hits besides CARS

One of them was performed on URGH! A Music War. Don't recall the name, though.

16. They never hit #1 in the US, only in the UK, but in any case...

...they had plenty of other hits on both charts.

18. WHAT?! You mean Wikipedia was LYING TO ME?

Damn, it looks like you're right.

The answer WAS Zager and Evans' "In the Year 2525," but it looks like there were other groups just as pathetic as they--at least in the US.

Daniel Powter hasn't had any other hits? That's surprising.
