This may have been a one hit wonder in the UK, but the Archies had many hits in the US. Jingle Jangle went top 10 and sold a million copies. One of my favourites Who's Your Baby? went top 40.

This is always considered the ultimate one hit wonder in the US:

In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) -- Zager & Evans
