Re: One Hit Wonders

I would say it's particularly hard to find a genuine one-hit wonder as the vast majority of bands or artists who do well in the charts with one of their singles will automatically do well with another one.What about Red Box? They're a two-hit wonder as this is the next hit they had after the brilliant 'Lean on Me' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcOA213iIDs

Suzi Quatro had quite a few hits after Devel Gate Drive, but only 2 made the top 10.

Re: One Hit Wonders

Nilsson and Without You is another that instantly springs to mind as too does Suzi Qautro and Devil Gate Drive - I rerally thought after that song Suzi would have had more major inconic hits like so!!

it was similar too for Helen Shapiro and Walking Back To Happyness in a way I think and off course Scott McKenzie and If Your Going To San Fransisco (Be Sure To Wear some Flowers In Your Hair). That was such ana amazingly brilliant song that had such a catchy tune etc, but Scott never seemed to follow it up with other great sonfs - where I really felt he would have done (though sadly not)!

I don't know if the name Yellow Dog is familiar to any users of this website, but the band were something of a one-hit wonder.

The band did have another single in the charts apart from 'Just One More Night' but it only reached number 54 which can hardly be called a hit.

Re: One Hit Wonders

I know F.R David had a follow up to 'Words ",which was called "music" but how well it did i n the U.K i do not know.
The Mentals had many hits in Oz .

Apart from those 2 songs there's only 3 other songs on your list i have heard of .
