Scoring a solitary megahit isn’t exactly a common occurrence for a recording artist. More often than not, they’ll land no singles on the charts whatsoever. When they are lucky enough to score a hit but subsequently fail to produce a follow-up, the label of “one-hit wonder” is often unceremoniously attached to their legacy. Jay & Deon discuss some of their favorite one-hit wonderful artists who deserve additional attention and admiration, then curate a mixtape featuring alternate choice cuts from their discographies.

One-hit wonderful mixtape:

[SIDE A] (1) Nada Surf – Blankest Year (2) Spacehog – Starside (3) Herbie Hancock – Fat Mama (4) Soft Cell – The Best Way To Kill (5) New Radicals – I Hope I Just Didn’t Give Away The Ending [SIDE B] (1) Sir Mix-A-Lot – Buttermilk Biscuits (2) The Darkness – Open Fire (3) DEVO – Gut Feeling (4) Digable Planets – Flyin’ High In The Brooklyn Sky (5) Big Country – Tall Ships Go
