that's not with one hit wonder means. one hit wonders are artists who are known for one song and one song only, and had a short-lived career. most of the people on your list have several successful albums, tours and are known for more than one single

Maybe true one hit wonders here

Foster the People
Capital Cities
Bastille

Also note that a band can overcome this status. Radiohead was a one-hit wonder once.

until their next album lol

Objectively, sure, but usually people use "one hit wonder" to describe bands in which the general public only remembers 1 song. It's not about the lack of hits, it's the lack of cultural relevance.

Carly Rae Jepsen has two, arguably three hits. She's still a one hit wonder.
