Herbivore 905 Posted October 20, 2020 Just heard Black Velvet by Allanah Myles. Thought this song is inching its way toward best One Hit Wonder of all time. I don't like it or dislike it, but its 31 years old, and I still hear it all the time. What is the best One Hit Wonder of all time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even to the extent that they had a greatest hits album. I heard they had something like 4 Top 10 hits and 15 Top 100 hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted October 20, 2020 Ok. The single most popular one hit wonder has to be American Pie / Don Mclean. Best parody song ever comes along with it. The Saga Begins / Weird Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 645 Posted October 20, 2020 5 minutes ago, frank said: Now you’re messing with a son of a b1tch. Yea, no kidding. Hair of the Dog had to be at least a top 20 hit. So when it comes to considering other "somewhat hits" by the same band, what is the cut off? No other top 100 hits? No other top 50...top 20...top 10? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing a band can make two great songs like that and not much else. It happens. They play for a few years and have a few songs saved up for that first album and then just have nothing left in the tank. Also if the first hit came just before the Disco takeover in the summer of 77, they were dead anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
