Join me as I create a themed musical playlist featuring songs by artists often mislabeled and misremembered in the U.S. as one-hit wonders!

Let's reacquaint ourselves with artists who were anything but one-hit, revisit the tracks that both defined and confined their careers, and reframe memory over myth—as we make a mixtape!

Side A: I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls, You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive, The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats, Your Love by The Outfield, and Take on Me by A-ha

Side B: What's on Your Mind by Information Society, 867-5309/Jenny by Tommy Tutone, Obsession by Animotion, Our House by Madness, and Harden My Heart by Quarterflash

Join me as I create a themed musical playlist featuring songs by artists that both captured the public's ear and split opinion just as sharply!

Let's acknowledge the hits everyone knows but no one can agree on, address the songs that defined pop culture and divided listeners at every turn, and accept that popularity and unity rarely go hand in hand—as we make a mixtape!

Side A: We Built This City by Starship, Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison, The Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh, Kokomo by The Beach Boys, and Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves

Side B: I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder, Lean on Me by Club Nouveau, Mickey by Toni Basil, Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, and Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

Join me as I create a themed musical playlist featuring songs by artists that entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart but never reached the Top 40 during their run!

Let's revisit the songs that missed the Top 40, rediscover the artists whose peak placements puzzled us, and relish the fact that while they left the chart too soon, they never left our hearts—as we make a mixtape!

Side A: I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow, I Melt With You by Modern English, What I Like About You by The Romantics, Hot Hot Hot by Buster Poindexter, and I Know What Boys Like by The Waitresses

Side B: Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham, It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls, Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash, It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) by R.E.M., and Forever Young by Alphaville
