Men Without Hats made the US Top 40 twice, but few people know what the second song was. They did a lot of good music, especially their first three (Folk of the 80s/Rhythm of Youth/Folk of the 80s Part III)

It's usually more rare for a One Hit Wonder to be a true One Hit Wonder. Usually there's at least one, lesser remembered hit due to momentum of the main hit or earlier success. On YouTube Todd in the Shadows has a great series called One Hit Wonderland, exploring the histories of the people behind One Hit Wonders and there usually is a modest amount of success either before or after the big one.

True. Men Without Hats went five years between Top 40 hits but they had a lot of singles on the dance chart.
