One-hit wonders in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1062 words) |
 | A one-hit wonder is a Top-40 phenomenon: the combination of artist and song that scores big in the music industry with one smash hit, but is unable to repeat the achievement with another hit. |
| In fact, if the Billboard Hot 100 had been based on airplay instead of single sales (as is now done), few, if any, of these bands would have had only one hit. |
| Zappa's "Valley Girl" is an interesting case because this song, like many one-hit wonders, was marketed as a single, and capitalized on something popular in pop culture. |
