THE TOP 100 BIGGEST “TRANSPORTATION” SINGLES OF ALL TIME

For this list, we countdown the most successful singles of all time that feature a mode of transport in the song title. I’ve kept it to the mention of specific vehicles or devices being present, so no “Locomotion” is this one. A few songs have slightly expanded versions of the vehicle, but as long as it is present, it qualified.

I also left out any mention of “horses”, as while they are use for some transport, it is not their overall purpose. Man-made horses, such as the #100 entry here, counted.

1. THE PUSHBIKE SONG The Mixtures (1970 – HP: #1, WEEKS IN TOP 100: 31)

THE TOP 100 “ONE HIT WONDERS” OF ALL TIME

The most successful One Hit Wonders of all time from the Australian Singles Charts. This has been calculated using the following rules:

  • Each artist has registered just ONE Top Ten hit in Australia
  • The sum of the artists’ minor hits (non-Top Ten) success has been subtracted from their single Top Ten hits’ success for a “One Hit Wonder” value
  • Duets were counted, with the success of the single split between the two artists. The above rules were then applied. However, no duet made the list.
  • Only the success of the main artist is calculated. Work as a featured artist, or as part of a band or group, is disregarded, and not included in the calculation.
  • I’ve also allowed acts who have recorded under different names to be counted as separate artists under those names. These artists I’ve marked with ” ^ “.

Pure One Hit Wonders who have only had one entry ever in the Australian Singles Charts have been marked with a ” * “.
