Broken Wings was their massive hit over here...Kyrie doesn't get as much love

Broken Wings was their massive hit over here...Kyrie doesn't get as much love

That's fair. Kyrie did very well in the US too though, but maybe it didn't get as much Radio play afterwards as Broken Wings.

I’m not even really going off their chart success in the 80s as much as if they are played on 80s stations or streaming lists or 80s countdowns and such. There are songs that were massive hits but as time has passed they slipped into the cracks

Jeopardy may be the only song where the Weird Al parody is much more well known
