THE BIG DOG'S EVER EVOLVING LIST OF ONE-HIT WONDERS
UPDATED DECEMBER 30, 2003
Here it is! The Dog Pound's list of one-hit wonders. If you can think of a one I'm missing, let me
know, and I'll put it up. I do like some verification and/or proof of their status as one-hit wonders, however, if you
can provide it. Likewise, if I've got a glaring error, I'd appreciate hearing
about that, too.
The one-hit wonder status of many of these artists is admittedly debatable and subjective. From time to time, I may include
artists which had hits that may have scraped the bottom of the charts but will never be remembered. Several people
convinced me to dump Spandau Ballet and Katrina and the Waves, among others, for this reason. Also, I don't consider weak follow-up "hits"
to be real hits. Was "Love Is" really a hit for Allanah Myles, or did it just make it to #36 on the strength of "Black Velvet"?
I have kept the list primarily to the late '60s through present. However, I
have recently started including artists from the mid '60s, as well, but
it's not very complete yet. So if you know of something from the '50s or '60s that I don't have here, now you know the reason
why, but feel free to submit it. (My long range plan is to expand this to an all-encompassing list of one-hit wonders from the rock era -- mid-50's to present). I
have also decided not to include one-hit solo performers who had hits in other bands. And always remember my three very basic
laws when thinking of one-hit wonders:
- Just because you can think of only one song by an artist does not make him/her/them a one-hit wonder,
- Just because you can think of a song -- but not the artist -- does not mean it was by a one-hit wonder, and...
- Just because you can think of a song does not mean that it was a hit.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has written to submit one-hit wonders or offer suggestions and
corrections for this page. Without you, this site would not stay alive.
