What do these songs have in common? They were all ONE hit wonders from various
artists. A One hit wonder is a song from
a group that is their only "claim to fame". Meaning, they never had another hit
song. I would imagine this is not a list
I would want to be included in If I was a singer, or part of a band. If this song brought you instant fame, but
you never had another hit song again, that would put an end to your
career. However, even if you were a one
hit wonder, that is still more than most people in the world have ever
achieved, and would be able to achieve a great since of accomplishment.
