ITT: glorified one hit wonders

...

god i fucking hate Stipes fetal alco syndrome face little fucking wanker if i ever see him again ill knock seven shades of shit out of him

Foster The People
A-ha
Gotye
Ween

This is empirically false.

They had more than one hit though

The fact that both Stand and Losing My religion exist disproves this

>A-ha

Name one song that isn't Take On Me.

Sun Always Shines on TV

wut

yeah because A-ha is an -actual- one hit wonder. not a glorified one.

The Living Daylights
C'mon you gotta know the James Bond one

Bitch what. Just from wikipedia I pulled up a list of all the Top 40 hits on the Hot 100 they had (circa 1987 - 1995):
>Losing My Religion
>Stand
>Everybody Hurts
>The One I Love
>Shiny Happy People
>Bang and Blame
>What's The Frequency Kenneth
>Drive
>Man on the Moon

Plus additional singles that fell just outside the Hot 100 Top 40 but still got heavy airplay on Top 40/Pop radio (1995 - 2001):
>Strange Currencies
>Bittersweet Me
>Daysleeper
>The Great Beyond
>Imitation of Life

Plus additional singles that were huge hits on mainstream rock stations from as early as 1983:
>Radio Free Europe
>Cant Get There from Here
>Driver 8
>Fall on Me
>Superman
>It's the End of the World as We Know It


Plus additional songs that were huge hits on alternative rock stations in the late 80s and early-mid 90s
>Pop Song 89
>The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
>Crush with Eyeliner
>Radio Song

Plus additional singles that were huge hits on Adult Alternative radio in the late 90s through mid 00s:
>Electrolite
>Lotus
>All the Way to Reno
>Bad Day
>Leaving New York
>Supernatural Superserious
>Hollow Man

And there's still beyond that, there are a whole bevy of R.E.M. singles, B-sides, and album tracks from the first ~20 years of their career that never made it onto any American Billboard chart back in the day but were huge hits on college campuses and are still known by a lot of people today.

In other words, fuck you.

it was a #17 hit on Top 40 radio in America in 1985

Bro what world do you live in where people actually give a shit about gotye

Tears for Fears are literal one hit wonders. Stop saying they're not.

>Ween
What song of theirs qualifies as a "hit"? The HIV Song?

Never mind, forgot about Push Th' Little Daisies

Ocean man

Take me by the hand

lead me to the land

that you understand

Just because a song is a meme doesn't make it a hit

They had two back-to-back #1 singles, two more in the top 10, three more in the top 50, and "Pale Shelter" and "Mad World" are still well known even if they didn't chart in the US when they first came out.
So what the fuck are you talking about?

yeah, it seems like OP and other anons ITT don't know what a one hit wonder is.

i almost never post here anymore, i decide to check out one thread that isn't a sharethread
your post is so fucking stupid that it i cannot let myself leave without letting you know how fucking retarded you are. never, ever post again.
