But the artists listed below are listed based on their official chart appearances. It's sometimes surprising to see such known artists being listed as a One-Hit Wonder. Many people bring up Devo in arguments about them being a "One-Hit Wonder". Note: Benny Mardones did re-record the song in 1989, but it failed to chart.ĭevo is a One-Hit Wonder. Both versions of “Into The Night” are the same identical recording with the same catalog number and length of the single (and label). Technically he is a One-Hit Wonder with one song that represents him on the Top 40 twice, once in 1980 and again in 1989. So, as it were, The Toot Uncommons are a One-Hit Wonder – as is Steve Martin.Īnother argument heard is the likes of Benny Mardones, “Into The Night”. They've had enough hits to exclude them as a One-Hit Wonder, however, as Steve Martin's backing band on “King Tut”, they called themselves The Toot Uncommons. That constitutes her second entry as a One-Hit Wonder, only that time as a solo artist, and we've listed only Kiki Dee (without Elton John) in the entry where “Don't Go Breakin' My Heart” is listed.Ī great example of what constitutes as a One-hit Wonder is The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. She was the leader of The Kiki Dee Band and had a hit with “I've Got The Music in Me.” However, she returned to have a hit with Elton John in 1976 (“ Don't Go Breakin' My Heart”). In such cases as that example, we've only listed Chrissie Hynde in the spot that would typically have read UB40 & Chrissie Hynde”. There are a few arguments here, as in UB40 with Chrissie Hynde's “I Got You Babe.” Chrissie Hynde is legitimately a One-Hit Wonder because her duet with UB40 is her only official Top 40 hit (of course as a solo artist), regardless of UB40 having more than one hit. Anything lower than that makes them a One-Hit Wonder. Many artists might have had a Top 50 hit or an MTV staple, or a Rock Radio staple hit, but the songs and their artists had to have hit the Top 40 charts with only one song. Every One-Hit Wonder entry is presented in chronological order of the time they peaked on the Top 40 charts. This is the expanded list of all One-Hit Wonders and their songs.
