ITT: Post some one-hit wonders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hzrDeceEKc

>But they're not one hit wonders!!!1
Yes. They are. Wonderwall was the only hit of theirs that cracked the top 40 in the U.S. . That is BY DEFINITION a one hit wonder.

>>71824816
Yeah, and I think that's something to remember in this thread. What is a one-hit wonder in one country is a major artist in another. I don't want to see any Austrians getting upset if someone posts Falco here.

>>71824855
it's not true though, Oasis was all over US charts during the 90s and their music still appears in advertisements to this day. He's either baiting or is a legit dumbass who is confusing them with Blur, who only ever did have one real US hit (Song 2).

>Wonderwall was the only hit of theirs that cracked the top 40 in the U.S
Because their record label only released two physical Oasis singles in America, which mean that songs like Champagne Supernova, Live Forever, and Don't Go Away, which were played on Top 40 radio were ineligible to chart on the Hot 100.

Thank you Bongland

I can safely say it's my favourite Kiwi Hip-Hop track that I know of

Can't believe The Strokes never actually even had a hit in the Billboard Hot 100

>>71825190
I forgot about this
Do kids still sing this at birthday parties nowadays?

>>71825133
You can clearly see that champagne supernova was certified RIAA gold. They still play it on the radio here in the good ol USA

>>71825217
That doesn't make it a hit.
A one hit wonder is only determined by how many songs cracked the top 40.

If only one song made the top 40, they're a one hit wonder.

>>71825217
this. CS was HUGE on radio and MTV back in the day. Don't Look Back in Anger too.

shiggy diggy

>>71825247
If Don't Look Back in Anger was a "hit" how come it only charted at number 55 on the Hot 100?

>>71825192
Not hard, there aren't many tracks from NZ in that vein.

Here's another goodie from here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hUrR44RlcY

>>71825256
Again. Album sales don't determine whether someone's a one hit wonder or not.

Same with Devo. They only had ONE hit technically but they're still a well known and well liked band who had a lot of album sales.

>>71825268
>rock songs do shit in the pop singles chart
Have you been in a coma since the 80s?

>Blur's "Song 2" only got to #55 on the Hot 100 airplay, not even the Hot 100 itself
>still a huge hit

Charts are bullshit

A ^ "Live Forever" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 39 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
B ^ "Champagne Supernova" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 20 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
C ^ "D'You Know What I Mean?" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 49 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
D ^ "Don't Go Away" was deemed ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its lack of an American physical single release, but peaked at number 35 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[5]
E ^ "Lyla" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number eight on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[141]
F ^ "Falling Down" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number six on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[141]

>>71825278
I think the thing as well is that there's a bit of a weird double standard involved as well. Devo are seen as a one-hit wonder despite being a critically acclaimed, hugely influential band, but for some reason artists like Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix aren't seen as such despite only landing hits in America once each. There's not really enough of an agreed upon standard by which to measure what's a one-hit wonder and what's not, and as such these problems arise.

No. This is just you covering for the fact that Oasis only ever had one hit song and 0 others. It means they're failures. Since when do you need a physical single release to chart on the Hot 100 anyway? You're bullshiting.

>>71825408
Were talking about in America. Other countries don't matter. Also you can clearly see that any other supposed "hits" they had in other countries were just piggybacking off of wonderwall's success and that oasis fell off shortly after.

>>71825419
Hard to top it to be fair. I think he went on to write for other artists in the end.

>>71825419
Actually he had a hand in making a ton of hits for other artists such as Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Santana's Grammy-winning The Game of Love. I guess he just decided he was happy just spending a couple of years being a rockstar before going back to helping others.

>>71825440
>tfw i always thought this guy was a vanilla ice type deal but he's actually from a really rough neighbourhood and grew up around jamaicans and was pretty legit

Technically speaking Oasis end up as "one hit wonders" because most of their hit songs were played on the radio and tv but not available for commercial purchase.

Culturally speaking Wonderwall was not their only hit.

>>71825495
Uh, yes it was? I don't know anyone who knows an oasis song outside of wonderwall. I didn't even know they had a career outside of that. I thought they were just a meme band

You mean one Top 40 charting songs on the Hot 100. They had other big hits that were ineligible to chart there.

>>71825571
Nah, they had several before that, many going to number 1, but other than Get on Your Boots it was their last to get into the top 40 in America, which may have contributed to it a bit

>>71825590
Right. By technicality that means they had one hit.
A one hit wonder.

If your definition of hit is strictly "top 40" but that's a retarded definition and you're a retard for asserting as such.

>>71825659
That's not 'my definition' that's literally what one hit wonder means.

Wikipedia has Oasis on their list of 90s one-hit wonders in the US, so I'm going to go with them, even if their cultural relevance has been more substantial than that suggests.

No, Nude charted only slightly lower than Creep did, but those are the only two to chart in the top 40 in the US. They had several and often bigger hits in most other countries, in particularly the UK.

I'm American and I live overseas and interact with lots of British people. It's really bizarre how they speak to me, knowing I'm American, under the assumption that Britpop is a worldwide cultural touchstone. I didn't even know what "Wonderwall" was until somebody sang it in karaoke. Of course I can remember hearing the song on the radio on the school bus, but I never cared to find out who sang it. It was just bland 90s rock.
