Season 6 Episode 22 - TWO-Hit Wonders

FEATURED SONG:

NICK – “Scream” (from The Metrogrande Sessions)

SCREAM IT EVERYWHERE


You’ve heard of one-hit wonders, and you probably know at least a couple dozen of those songs. What you might not know is that many of those bands actually had more than one hit.

In this episode, I bust the myth of one-hit wonders by using my criteria to show that most of those artists charted at least twice, if not more. I also talk about other well-known artists who had just a couple of hits. And I discuss how many of these artists had longer & more successful careers than you might think.

Which songs or artists come to mind when you think of one-hit wonders? Can you recall those artists having another hit, or does that come as a surprise to you? What non-one-hit wonders did I miss? Discuss dammit!
