Didn't Tesla also have another hit? "Little Susie", or something? That's the only song by 'em I remember.

Pilot with "Magic" and "January" (they did have two additional top 40 entries, but these weren't major hits)
Pilot's only major U.S. hit that anyone can recall was Magic, which hit No. 1.

In the UK (which is where they came from), "January" was a bigger hit than "Magic".
