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.
