(Finished April 29th, 2023) Part 1 of My Favorite One, Two and Three Hit Wonders

These are songs that are one, two and three hit wonders. This is according to America’s Billboard’s Hot One 100 Chart. These songs will be random and I will have one, two or three songs from each musician. But I’m going to only post the songs that I like- thus my favorite of these songs. By hit I mean songs that hit the actual Top 40.

Now just because a band has only one, two or three “hits” is no sign that a band doesn’t have more great songs.

I could make an argument that this is the greatest song by a one hit wonder ever. It’s just a great great song. I can also make the same claim about the ninth song on this list. 1) Gregory Abbott “Shake You Down”:

2) Blue Swede “Hooked On A Feeling”:

3) Klymaxx “Men All Pause”:

4) The Knack “Good Girls Don’t”:

5) Rupert Holmes “Him”:

6) Information Society “Think”:

This song only went to #41 and so I’m cheating here, but this song is just too good to not include. 7) Psychedelic Furs “Pretty In Pink”:

8) Zager and Evans “In The Year 2525”:

9) Sinead O’Connor “Nothing Compares 2 U”:

10) Jermaine Stewart “We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off”:

11) Steve Martin “King Tut”:

12) OMC “How Bizarre”:

13) The Village People “Macho Man”:

14) Vixen “Edge of A Broken Heart”:

15) ? and the Mysterians “96 Tears”:

16) Erasure “A Little Respect”:

17) Fountains of Wayne “Stacy’s Mom”:
