op

nigga is making music since the 90's you moron

And he made only 1 good song.

In your opinion.

The most mind-numbingly, over literal understand of that phrase possible.

I wonder who the biggest no hit wonder is.

He's had quite a few hits in Korea.

In your opinion, yeah, but we're talking about chart success.

Crazy Town - Butterfly (Come my lady)

>good

this
also
>not liking hangover

sorry, meant excellent of course satan

>The most mind-numbingly, over literal understand of that phrase possible.
That's generally what one hit wonder refers to. One Top 40 hit and then nothing else that matches that single's success.

If you think Walk The Moon is a one hit wonder, listen to this song. It's genuinely great.

youtube.com/watch?v=fPQeMqiKqKs

That's actually a fun little album (as long as nobody catches you listening to it).

he just dropped a song that archieved an all kill on some important music show in korea tho

I actually like quite a few of his songs, not really big into korean music but his music is pretty fun

in the music charts not a music show

If you consider even half of that list "one hit wonders" you're smoking crack.

A one hit wonder is a song that almost everyone knows or has at least heard of at some point in time but the rest if the music catalog of the artist or group is literally unknown.

>Fatboy Slim

I call bullshit on this one. I'm pretty sure he had at least two hits via Praise You and Weapon of Choice.

Same, I like his music video for Napal Baji

What song?

i wouldn't apply it to bands that have good albums on top of their one popular single
there's plenty of bands that are fairly popular that don't chart well because nobody buys their singles, just albums, and they don't get radio play

"I luv it"

>there's plenty of bands that are fairly popular that don't chart well because nobody buys their singles, just albums, and they don't get radio play

this, most indie rock bands are like this, where they only get airplay on college/non-commerical radio and AAA (and maybe a tad on alternative radio), but the albums always end up in the Top 40 of the Billboard album charts

how can anyone not like gentleman?

Praise You went to #36 in the Top 40, but nothing else. The Rockefeller Skank went to #76, but was a bigger hit on alternative radio

>Awolnation
>The Neighbourhood
>Bastille
>The Lunineers

Technically had second hits

I don't like I luv it and New face as much as I liked Daddy and Napaj Baji

This is a very loose list. I would consider a number of these acts huge successes. The Buggles are true one hit wonders because they only had their one huge hit and were quickly irrelevant, but groups like ELP were playing huge stadiums for years long after Lucky Man was a hit.

And can anyone explain what Metheny's "one-hit" would be? Last Train Home? Are You Going With Me? Phase Dance? This list starts off decent but has a lot of bullshit on it, especially towards the end.

Pat Metheny Group single "This Is Not America" with David Bowie charted at #32 in 1985

Fact is the best song from his new album IMO.

Yes, though none went Top 40.

You could say the same about Oasis who technically had about 5 would-be Top 40 hits in American between 1994 and 1997, but only Wonderwall was released as a commercial CD and cassette single, meaning everything else was ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 even though by 1996, they were playing arenas in America, their videos were in heavy rotation on MTV, they were being played on Top 40 radio, and charting highly on the "Radio songs" and "-pop songs" as well as topping the "mainstream rock" and "modern rock" charts.

The term " One hit wonder" is fucking cancerous as fuck, and is normie shit like "Lol top RADIO PLAYYYYY".
Stop.

Chris Stapleton has written dozens of hits.

>Emmylou Harris
>Merle Haggard

just stop m8

>chart success
which ones? America, International or S.Korea? In S.Korea he was probably pretty often in the charts and who cares, dude probably is a billionaire now.
