A hit song…. Is a hit song. And no one can take that away from you. However, a hit song doesn’t necessarily lead to another hit song, or a career for that matter. When this happens to an artist, they get placed in the dreaded category of “one-hit wonder.” Over the years we’ve seen many one-hit wonder lists or artist profiles on VH1 or TV One and, for me, they all feel sad. If someone is 22 and has a hit song, but doesn’t have another one…. Was that the pinnacle for them? Is it all down hill at 22?
Well, in some instances... yes. But in other instances these one-hit wonders have gone on to have long careers in music and also in other industries. Either way though, whether an artist has a second hit or not, for one moment they were at the top and no one can take that away from them. These are the songs we'll talk about today, as we discuss our favorite one-hit wonders.
