- Down Under. Men At Work’s “Down Under,” was the band’s most successful single of their career. Besides hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the song also went Platinum in sales making it a Gold Record times 10.
- Who Can It Be Now. The top two songs on this Men At Work songs list are pretty interchangeable as far as commercial success. They both hit number one in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as hitting number one in many other countries.
