One hit wonders that you still love

I love Billie Ray Martin...but she was a two hit wonder (Electribe 101's Talking With Myself).

Anyway, the best one hit wonder was Rosie Vela - Magic Smile

I still love that song and play it every summer without fail....and oh, the magic is there when you smile, just like a Hollywood child...

I second that emotion, took me years to track down a copy, found one while on holiday in Malta :cool:
 
I Got Five On it

Ca Plane Pour Moi

Toy Soldiers by Martika (unless you're being difficult and classifying the position 35 reached by 'Martika's Kitchen' counts)

For all those wallowing in Billie Ray Martin nostaligia, she was fucking ace and that song always makes me smile in memories of the big period of handbag house between 92-95 and lasses in chiffon tops and wonderbras :D
 
Great voice that man had, and he had far more than one hit, introducing the hardline to... is a top album in my opinion.

:mad:

I never said he only had one hit! I just said this thread had reminded me of him. :mad:


I'm raiding this thread for things to buy off itunes.

:oops:
 
Top 40 !!!

and you're dissing those popsters who only had one hit that got to 39 :(

A hit, a proper hit, has to be top 20, surely?

If you released a record and it got to 39 and never got in the top 40 again I'd say you were a nearly ran, not a one-hit wonder.
 
'I wish' by Skee-lo (sp?) was a cute track - heard it playing in a shop the other day.

to those nearly rans - it was the best they had :(

ultimately, a hit could be the official top 75, I think they even have a top 200, but that is stretching it admittedly:D
 
don't know if it's been said but....I am the one and only - Chesney Hawkes. ( i used to sing it to my testicle, before the other one desended :D )
 
What do people define as a proper one hit wonder?

I remember when that babycakes record came out, there was a few people on here that fessed up to liking it. That was a proper one hit wonder. No. 1 and then nothing else, ever again. No number 42 second hit or releases in other countries.

Ones I can think of

Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go.
Gary Byrd - The Crown
Mac Band - Roses Are Red.
Matthew Wilder - Breakin My Stride
Taja Sevelle - Love Is Contagious
Starlight - Numero Uno

Also there is Boy Meets Girl 'Waiting For A Star To Fall'. I'm stuck because on the one hand it remonds of a teenage sweetheart and on the other, I really fucking hate it.:oops:
 
quite obscure, and I don't think it even made the top 40, let alone top 20

Sinceros - take me to your leader

Does anyone remember Billie Ray Martin? Your Lovin Arms? One hit wonder maybe but I saw her years ago and she was fab :)
 
Strawberry Switchblade - Since Yesterday

:)

yes. i love this song. i love them and their look. i would have had it as wedding music, but the sentiment is almost completely 'anti wedding'. i want it at my funeral, though.


also 'hanging around', by 'britpop supergroup' - me me me
