So if their names are closer to the circle, does that mean they have one hit and if they are further mean they have two hits?

As Harley says, depends on where you are; Big Country, Frankie and Dexys certainly had success here although it would of been preferred if they did enter that category..

Are they new wave? I always had them pegged as post-punk.
