Reply to comment by UncontrolableUrge in Which one-hit wonders actually have great songs and deserved more credit? by Ok_World_8819

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.
