Are They A One-Hit Wonder?

[Aaron]

Agreed on Alias, didn't know they had a second song lol

 

[HecticArt]

They already had a second name, so it makes sense.

Candi Staton
#20 "Young Hearts Run Free"
#26 "Stand by Your Man"

Don't know either. Subjectively a no hit wonder? Anyone born after 1976 know these ones?

 

[sadchild]

None of these ten felonies are capital offenses – so Pras will not have to fear that he will be killed softly. (Sorry, that's the best I could come up with.)

His 'top ten' outside of music are one thing. But how did he do going solo after The Fugees? Well, if he's in this thread, you already know the answer.

Pras
#15 "Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are)"
#35 "Avenues" (with ODB)

I know the first one (the rap version of "Islands In The Stream", kinda weird). Don't know the second one.

Dump of two hit wonders from the 2000s.

I don't know any of these songs.

Bubba Sparxxx
#7 "Ms. New Booty" (w/ Ying Yang Twins)
#15 "Ugly" (w/ Timbaland)

David Banner
#7 "Play"
#16 "Get Like Me" (w/ Chris Brown)

Diddy–Dirty Money
#11 "Coming Home" (w/ Skylar Grey)
#27 "Hello Good Morning" (w/ TI)

Sean Paul
#7 "Snap Yo Fingers" (w/ Lil Jon)
#12 "Do It To It" (w/ Cherish)

Trina
#15 "One Minute Man" (w/ Missy Elliott)
#17 "Here We Go"

Another Bad Creation
#9 "Iesha"
#10 "Playground"

When Kris Kross started off the mega-hit "Jump" with the line "Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad...", this is who they were taking shots at.

I remember both songs, but aside from 90s nostalgia stations, this New Edition photocopy created by Bell Biv Devoe is completely forgotten. Subjective OHW.

 

[HecticArt]

One I recognize!!!!!
I didn't realize that they had a second song.....

• Thunder Island (1977/9)
• Shakedown Cruise (1979/31)

I like both. I only occasionally hear "Thunder Island" unless I am listening on my own playlists.

Shows how much I listen to Yacht Rock channel.

I would not have classified this as that but I guess my definition does not count.

 

[Channel98]

Jay Ferguson was lead singer of Los Angeles rock band Spirit from 1967 to 1971. Here is their lone top-40 hit, I Got A Line On You, which reached #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1969. On the KHJ Boss 30, the song got to #2 behind Traces by the Classics IV.

Cool! This puts me at 126 two-top-40-artists from 1970-1993. 2 more and we have a madness.

 

[Aaron]

I’m impressed, didn’t know so many artists would fall into this category.

 

[Channel98]

We can add Beverly Bremers. Don't Say You Don't Remember reached #15 on the Hot 100 in February 1972. It was written by Estelle Levitt (lyrics) and Helen Miller (music). Levitt also co-wrote Carol Douglas' Midnight Love Affair and Herman's Hermits' This Door Swings Both Ways. Bremers' follow-up single, We're Free, stalled at #40 in July.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Ok then, I won't say I don't remember. But I don't.

 

[sadchild]

"We're Free" ....

... from our record contract after having only two top 40s that won't be remembered 50 years later. Subjective OHW?

 

[sadchild]

I’m impressed, didn’t know so many artists would fall into this category.

In my master list (all years), I have well over 200!

Tionne Watkins
#16 "Ghetto Love" (w/ Da Brat)
#40 "Touch Myself"

Did you know of the ladies from TLC started a solo career? Neither did I. Subjective OHW (as a solo artist).

 

[sadchild]

Ann Wilson
#6 "Surrender To Me" (w/ Robin Zander)
#7 "Almost Paradise" (w/ Mike Reno)

It hurts my heart to say Ann has only had two top 40s as a solo artist. But it's even worse to think "Surrender" is quite forgotten (outside of 80s nostalgia avenues) making her a subjective OHW.

Both are duets. Does that qualify either for her credit? If yes, then why not her stuff with Heart?
