@MiketheSnow Never heard that before and after 22 seconds I’m pleased that I hadn’t. Was that really a hit?
Maybe the criteria should be more global than regional. Some interesting crap as well as some gold in here though.
I know “tainted love” by Soft cell was mentioned earlier but that was a remake, so does that count? They made a hit but didn’t write it.

A couple that haven't been mentioned.
There is a connection to Tool in this band. I enjoyed it when it was released for the comic value.
Their one hit was a cover
Was I hate everything about you a hit?

That wasn't Ugly Kid Joe. Three Days Grace according to wiki.
They did a song called that too

No. 1 in the UK like a lot of these one-off songs. Normally around Christmas time or a major event.
TBF the UK chart is hardly regional. The number of records sold backs that up.
Soft Cell covered 'Tainted Love' for a hit, but had other hits too so doesn't meet the one hit measure

This made it to #4 in UK and #2 in Australia so counts as a one hit wonder I guess. Featuring much better known comedian these days Tony Hawks

A different song to "I Hate Everything About You", therefore my confusion.
