When are the early-90s two-hit-wonder revivals kicking off?

Is this for real?

They went on to have a string of success throughout the 1990s, becoming Columbia's biggest selling UK act for ten years.[citation needed]

"Citation Needed" might be a clue.

I saw Roachford live back in the day.

Did they play "Only To Be With You"? And the other one? And "Only To Be With You"?

― Everybody Wants To Shag King Boy Pato (King Boy Pato), Saturday, 16 May 2009 10:05 (seventeen years ago)

I only remember "Cuddly Toy". And I think maybe I remember "Family Guy".

Apparently he had different one-hits here and in Aus.

Only to be with you sounds amazing.

― Keith, Saturday, 16 May 2009 23:22 (seventeen years ago)

I downloaded "Only To Be With You" today so yet again I am ahead of the cultural curve.

"Cuddly Toy" just came on in the pub, and what a welcome, random treat that is

― How We Choosed to Live (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 October 2025 13:01 (one year ago)

That loud synth in the chorus is so welcome

― The Luda of Suburbia (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 11 October 2025 13:58 (one year ago)

Yeah he had a good ear, I'm pretty sure I saw him live in the late 80s, on paper something I wouldn't care about but he had some tunes

― How We Choosed to Live (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 October 2025 14:03 (one year ago)

I had the album on cassette. Looking at the tracklist does not trigger memories of any of the other songs unfortunately.

― ledge, Saturday, 11 October 2025 14:14 (one year ago)

"Family Man" isn't bad.
