S7.E5: One-Hit Wonders, 1976-1984
Let’s talk one-hit-wonders, starting with the 50th anniversary of the single-hitting chart toppers of 1976. Then, let’s fast forward to “the day the boat sank” — 1984. What makes a one-hit wonder a true flash in the pan? What was common to the wonders of 1976, then let’s look at 1984. Same dynamic at play? What’s consistent? What changed?
And let’s distinguish between TRUE one-hit-wonders and those who deserve none of the ignominy, shall we?!
