Is it just me, or are these the most obscure Styx songs ever? I like Styx, but not these songs. And Tommy Shaw is not their best singer.

Great song, but Carnes was not a ‘one hit wonder’.

You are correct.  But what is the "criteria" for a "hit". You have categories, and charts. How many songs has she had that have broken multiple genres? If you could poll most people today what song, whom know her name today, which song would they most likely claim to know?

That was her most famous it.

Bold mine - try again.

Crossing genres, or not, has nothing to do with a song being a one hit wonder.

The criterion for a hit single is generally considered to be making it to the top 20.

Yes ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ was her biggest hit, but the fact that she had several others disqualifies her from one hit wonder status, by definition.

The Beatles’ most successful song was ‘Hey, Jude’. Does that make them one hit wonders?
