Wonder Why 32: Foster the People


Listen Later

How soon is too soon to label a band a one hit wonder? That's the question @chadsmart and @MikeDeKalb  tackle in this episode of Wonder Why.  Foster the People burst onto the scene in 2011 with "Pumped Up Kicks," a song that reached number three on the Billboard chart. Surprisingly in the following 9 years, Foster the People have only come close to Top 40 success once. 

After examining three studio albums to try and understand why Foster the People hasn't had hits,  their conclusion puts the blame less on Mark Foster and group and more on the state of the modern day music industry.
