Gone Deactivated 14,311 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Unless we going for the one song they are known for... I don’t think these “picks are accurate” and I better not f-ing be in the bottom with 0 votes again when I actually picked 3 true one hit wonders... ps. I’m hangry atm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colby O’Donnis had 2 other top 20 songs but we only remember him for Just Dance. THAT is a one hit wonder. Same goes for all these other artists you’re naming. This round is basically just common sense on which artists are only remembered by one song in my opinion, not who has strictly 1 no.1 or top 10 But it was announced that technicality is important this round On 5/27/2021 at 10:57 PM, PETTY said: If a song is not technically a one-hit wonder to me, the submission will be denied!

lavenderblondee PronounsShe/her Popster to Popster 3,889 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Welp, maybe I should of gone with my original 80's pick... I will say some of these I know flat out are NOT one hit wonders. One of them just had another big song like 3 years ago... I'm still voting for the trio though because it's a great trio.

PETTY Gaming Leader 6,420 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Because I have seen the songs submitted on multiple One-Hit Wonder lists throughout the internet, I didn’t fight people on their submissions because they are clearly not the only ones who consider their songs one-hit wonders. Some were a reach but it wasn’t worth it for me to tell people to change them when I thought about it. If we don’t agree with it, we just don’t vote for it!

We need a guideline. It's all relative. a-Ha, for instance, have a song with 1.2B on YouTube and no other song over 100m. Clear one hit wonders. I'd hardly call them hitmakers The example used by miss Petty, Natalie Imbruglia, has multiple other top 10s in multiple markets. Still a one hit wonder. Miss Avatar Max has one top 10 in the US, and yet not a one hit wonder 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how I worded it btw 6 hours ago, corvus albus said: a-ha had two top 20 hits 43 minutes ago, Gypsy Life said: It's all relative. a-Ha, for instance, have a song with 1.2B on YouTube and no other song over 100m. Clear one hit wonders. I'd hardly call them hitmakers Views on Youtube aren't exactly the most reliable metric either, as Like A Virgin by Madonna, an undeniable worldwide hit, doesn't have 100M views either Also, making 9 top 10 hits in the UK like a-ha and having them between 1984 and 2005 isn't being enough of a hitmaker for you? Having a standout hit and being a One Hit Wonder are two different things. Meredith Brooks is a good example of a One Hit Wonder because she literally only had one WW hit and then nobody ever heard from her again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannesrats PronounsHe/Him Community Leader 2,817 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you don’t think a song is a OHW, then don't vote for it. It makes the competition easier for you 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
