"Burnin' For You"--Blue Oyster Cult
Neither of this group's two biggest hits made the Top 40, and both are included in Inside The Rock Era's popular feature, The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*.
This one came from BOC's eighth studio album, Fire of Unknown Origin. "Burnin' For You" stalled at #40, even though with two million singles sold, it outsold nearly all other songs out at the time.
One of our earliest and most popular music specials is returning in the summer of '25!
Inside The Rock Era is pleased to bring back the updated Top 500 One-Hit Wonders of the Rock Era. We premiered it here in 2008; it was one of our first music specials. With over 13,000 page views, it proved to be wildly popular. In the 17 years since we first produced it, there have been many deserving songs by artists who enjoyed that one big hit but were never ever to match it.
Those songs not only freshen up the special, but they make the quality even stronger, as dozens of hits in recent years have replaced some ranked towards the end in 2008.
Don't miss the return of The Top 500 One-Hit Wonders, exclusively on Inside The Rock Era beginning July 1st!
