One Hit Wonders

This is a partial list of One Hit Wonders that I compiled and have on my site www.rockmaven.com

It's a pain to reformat the info so that it shows well here because I have it all in table format, so I am only including part of it. You can view the full list here: http://rockmaven.com/one_hit_wonders.htm

You have the option to view the list by Song Title, by Year or by Artist Name.

These are based on US Billboard charts. According to Billboard, any artist who only has one song that breaks the Top 40 is a One Hit Wonder. It has absolutely nothing to do with how popular an artist is/was or how many albums they sold.

I also have a list of Almost One Hit Wonders - songs that you might have expected to be One Hit Wonders, but the artists managed to squeak another song into the Top 40.

Hope you enjoy it!

I HAVE COMPILED THIS LIST ALL ON MY OWN. IT IS NOT COPIED FROM ANOTHER SOURCE (yes, I copied from my own site to here, but I mean I did not take anyone else's work and post it). PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS LIST. I'D MUCH RATHER YOU JUST LINK TO IT. EITHER LINK TO THIS PAGE OR TO http://rockmaven.com/one_hit_wonders.htm
Thank you
