Reply to comment by mattiejj in What's the best one hit wonder in your opinion? Do they still exists? by Necessary_Comfort812

This is the problem with one-hit wonder conversations. In some countries The Verve might only have had one hit, in the UK they had loads.

Yeah. Like I was gonna say Blind Melon, but their second album (and the singles from it), did very well in Canada (even though they are not Canadian), and if they didn't, I probably wouldn't be as big of a fan, and be mentioning them in this thread. Also, No Rain, isn't even a top 10 Blind Melon song imo.

But this is the nice thing about conversations about this topic too. Who cares if they have made more songs. Probably people are going to say bands now that I've never heard about before.

Yeah that's true. But if we're thinking more globally. For me a wonder need to get out more than UK. I understand what you mean but I would still count that the band had one one hit wonder. I don't know if I can articulate what I mean.

And that's where the 2. Issue comes in , if there's not a certain hype about a country specific genre( k pop) or the artist basically builds a Genre, that gets extremely popular (Rammstein) most non English & Spanish speaking artists become one hit wonders.
