    Got sued by Mick

    Cruel Intentions

    I debated a bit on The Verve. I feel like they had more than just 1 popular song- e.g., they've got 3 cuts over 90 million listens on Roganify.
    Spotify don't count for 90's music

    Spotify allows people to explore other music by one hit wonders

    As far as AM radio goes Neil was basically a 2 hit wonder - Old Man and Heart of Gold
    I'm always amazed the Heart of Gold hit #1 on the singles chart. No wonder he went into the ditch.
    Record company: Neil we want another Harvest!

    Neil: Fuck off (how about Reactor, Old Ways, Trans, Life, Landing on Water, and This Note's For You Instead?
    He chose a pretty damn funny way to make his point.

    Edit...how could I forget Everybody's Rockin?

    Another band that was big (huge) in Britain but really a one hit wonder here.

    Closing Time is too obvious to me ... to the point that I've just never thought of it as a 1-hit wonder

    To me a 1-hit wonder has to really include some elements to it of in real time really questioning how the song became as big as it did ... there has to be that knowledge in the time that they can't possibly do more. 4 Non Blondes is the definition of a 1-hit wonder to me

    Those are all songs that would fit well as background music of a Friends episode. Truly awful music.

    Macarena is the only answer here.

    Rock music. We’ll cover the other genres separately.
