Actually Pat had the following songs all hit the American charts
during the eighties:

Heartbreaker		We Live For Love
You Better Run		Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Treat Me Right		Fire and Ice
Promises In The Dark	Shadows of the Night
Little Too Late		Lookin' For A Stranger
Love Is A Battlefield	We Belong
Ooh Ooh Song		Invincible
Sex As A Weapon		All Fired Up
Don't Walk Away		One Love
I Need A Lover		Hell Is For Children (radio only)

In the U.K., only Love Is A Battlefield, We Belong and All Fired Up
charted, if I'm not mistaken. But Pat hasn't been heard on the radio
since that last song, in 1988, despite releasing some really good
material. Radio preconceptions, I guess.
