| | One-hit wonder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The hits of many one-hit wonders are novelty songs that are, to an extent, deliberately short-lived, recorded for humor or to cash in on a pop culture fad. | | | For the Californian Punk band by the same name, see One Hit Wonder (band). | | | The term one-hit wonder does not, however, usually refer to performers who have had only limited success on the singles chart, but who are considered significant for other reasons, such as album sales, live concerts and influence on other musicians. |

| | CLUAS - ten great one hit wonders |
| | For some bizarre reason, at the mention of the phrase 'one hit wonder' the songs that sits up and growls for my attention is 'Spaceman' by a certain 'Babylon Zoo'. | | | The one-hit wonder - funny how they often linger longer in the subconscious than the multiple-hit bores that frequent day time radio. | | | Here's a selection of ten such wondrous (but nor necessarily wonderful!) moments that, alas, were never to be emulated by the bands involved. |

| | One Hit? I Wonder - Matthew Webber.net |
| | When I was 13 years old, I used to follow my own Rule of Three for record buying: I wouldn't buy an album until I had heard, and liked, three songs. | | | However, this is one of those huge radio hits that I actually like. | | | But for artists such as Coldplay, Dido, and David Gray (no Rolling Stone covers, few TRL votes), the radio encourages fans to wait for the eventual Now compilation that will include their hits rather than rush out and purchase their albums. |

| | It was Semisonic's single moment of glory in the pop music marketplace, which makes the band what some would classify a "one-hit wonder" -- a despicable condescension, when you consider how difficult it is for pop artists to score even one hit. | | | The song became a national pop anthem that summer, propelling the album to platinum sales. | | | Rotating management at MCA left the band without support. |

| | One-Hit Wonder - Lisa Jewell - Penguin UK |
