Yeaaaaaaah. I saw a few of these so called “one hit wonders” and can tell you that they definitely aren’t one hit wonders. Gloria Gaynor has a few well known songs and Never Can Say Goodbye is considered to be one of the best songs ever recorded in the disco genre of music. Don McLean actually had a Top 20 hit with Vincent. Nu Shooz and Dead or Alive each had another Top 20 hit. Will 2 Power had another Top 10 hit in the early 90s. Was (Not Was) had another Top 20 hit. Neneh Cherry had two Top 10 solo hits. And Oasis definitely had another hit with Champagne Supernova which I hear on the radio all the time. You can even see which songs I’m talking about if you click on the artists’ names and look at the discography history. I’d say if you’ve made it into the Top 40 on the charts more than once than you’re definitely not a one hit wonder especially if they play other songs you’ve recorded on the radio and a lot of people know the song.

Oh, I agree. I just thought it an interesting exercise in encyclopedic knowledge
