NEW YORK, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- VH1's "The Greatest" countdown is back with its latest installment, the "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s," premieres on VH1 beginning with the first two hours on Tuesday, March 31 - Friday, April 3 at 10PM* each night. VH1 is inviting viewers to put on their leg warmers, put down that Rubik's Cube that has yet to be solved, and reminisce to the time when it was all so simple. A time when everyone had "Pac Man Fever" and did the "Safety Dance," when we played Atari until our fingers fell off, and when it was cool to rock out to hair bands that were the gods of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. VH1 is saluting these one hit wonders of the '80s, because let's face it, without them, whose songs would we drunkenly slur during karaoke at the bar?

Each new episode of VH1's "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s" will premiere on VH1 beginning with the first two hours on Tuesday, March 31 -Friday, April 3 at 10PM* each night. Hosted by comedian and "30 Rock" star, Judah Freidlander, this five-part special turns back the hands of time with a humorous yet tasteful approach to the era that brought songs that we can't get out of our head... no matter how hard we try.
