So, we're halfway through 2015, so now's a good time to talk about what artists this year will end up being one hit wonders.
The following artists have all scored their first hit this year and have yet to have a second:
-Mark Ronson -Natalie La Rose -Hozier -Walk The Moon -Charlie Puth -LillyWood -Ella Henderson -Alesso -James Newton Howard -Jennifer Lawrence -Jack U -Andy Grammer -OMI -Rachel Platten -Fetty Wap -TWayne -Silento -Vance Joy -George Ezra -Milky Chance
So, who's staying and who's going?

These artists both look like they will have another hit. Natalie and Fetty with "Around the Wold" and Charlie with "Marvin Gaye". But with staying power? I really don't know.

Mark Ronson
maybe if he collaborates with another big artist, but frankly I'm sure the general public sees "uptown funk" as a bruno mars track so idk
Natalie La Rose
could go either way, from what I've seen she's a good performer and her songs are inoffensive enough to be played on the radio a lot, but on the other hand people could just feel that she has little personality and she won't get a big hit again so idk
Hozier
he has a decent following and "someone new" is a pretty good followup, but he also might be considered too "rock" by pop radio to get significant airplay
Walk The Moon
honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them not get another hit, if only because their album doesn't really have anymore standout singles for pop
Charlie Puth
he sung the chorus on one of the most famous songs of the year so far
yeah he probably will
Lillywood & The Prick
nah, their hit was mostly famous because of a remix, and the album the song was on was released in 2010, so probably not
Ella Henderson
probably, but it probably won't happen until her second album, as the singles she's released so far are either not very us friendly or need a bit more momentum to become a big hit
Alesso
depends on how long this whole electro house trend lasts, but with a big featured artist or decent promo he probably could
James Newton Howard
he's a film composer who's hit was mostly one because of jennifer lawrence
in other words no
Jennifer Lawrence
depends on if she sings again, but considering how I think she doesn't hold a high opinion on her own singing voice I doubt it will happen
Jack U
maybe "to u" could do something, but their style might be a bit too out there for pop
Andy Grammer
probably, he makes pretty pop friendly stuff
OMI
his hit is famous for the remix, and I don't even know another song of his so I doubt it
Rachel Platten
idk depends on how much momentum she has and what the followup will be
Fetty Wap
could go either way, "my way" is pretty catchy and has the chance to do well, but he's probably never going to have a song as big as "trap queen"
TWayne
idk his hit is some mixtape track that wasn't supposed to get as big as it was so idk
Silento
idk apparently capitol records signed him so it'll probably depend on the followup and the momentum
(also apparently he's the same age as me holy shit)
Vance Joy
the whole indie folky sound is slowly dying, but he might get another hit with the right song
George Ezra
depends on how well "blame it on me" and the indie folky sound does
Milky Chance
idk their followup flopped on alt so probably not

Mark Ronson: very likely to be a one-hit wonder, and besides, is more considered a Bruno Mars song than a Mark Ronson song, so unless he collaborates with another big name, I don't see another hit for him.
Natalie Rose: might have another hit or two in her, but she's probably too generic and not distinctive enough for people to want to invest in her any further, if I had to guess, this will probably be her only hit unless she makes more pop radio-friendly songs.
Hozier: as far as the pop charts, very unlikely, which is unfortunate.
Walk The Moon: unlikely, this song did as well as it did, because it sounded very pop, and unless they make other songs that contain the same energy and pop sound this song did, I don't see them having another hit. There is always a possibility of a suprise second hit, though.
Ella Henderson: maybe, but I'm not getting my hopes up on that.
Charlie Puth: he's probably not gonna last very long on the scene, but I can see him being in some more hit songs, and maybe even scoring a hit of his own.
Lilywood & The Prick: no, not happenning, "Prayer In C" was only a hit because of the Robin Schulz remix.
Alesso: with the way the EDM sound is changing and his production style being too similiar to those of the early 2010's, I'm not seeing another U.S. from that guy here.
James Newton Howard: he has nothing to worry about because he's a famous movie composer, but as far as the pop charts go, not getting another hit.
Jennifer Lawrence: I think even she is surprised at how well the song took off, but she doesn't like the song or even her own singing, so you can forget that.
Jack U: Skrillex and Diplo are already established acts on their own, but as far as this project goes, yeah, I think this will be a one-hit wonder thing, especially considering Where Are U Now's success is likely mostly due to Justin Bieber being on the song.
Andy Grammer: he'll be a fixture on adult contemporary charts for years to come, as far as the pop charts however, I'm seeing a few more hits considering his music is very pop sounding.
OMI: this is the most obvious one-hit wonder this year. Yes, the song just really took off at the right time, and once it the season ends and falls off the charts, people will forget about it and OMI as well. I'm not even sure if he's even that popular in his home country, so no doubt he's a one-hit wonder.
Rachel Platten: maybe, is 50/50. She's a new artist and there's a possibility that she continues to have success, but she also sounds kind of generic and "Fight Song" sounds a lot like something Kelly Clarkson would have done. It can go either way: she'll either continue to have success and have staying power, or she'll be forgotten as soon as this song loses steam.
Fetty Wap: may have another hit or 2, but no matter what, nothing he makes from this point on will even come close to matching the massive success of "Trap Queen". Also, he'll be irrelevant soon enough.
T-Wayne: Nasty Freestyle's success was a fluke, also that's what it was, a freestyle, and wasn't expected to be a hit at all. If people don't invest enough in him to at least get him a hit in the rap scene, then he won't have another, and the guy isn't distinctive or interesting enough for people to warrant another listen from him, I don't see a second hit for him.
Silento: Rae Sremmurd may have gotten more hits, but this guy is certainly not having another one. No one is going to want to hear more from a Soulja Boy knockoff, who is shockingly even worse than the real thing. No one is taking "Watch Me" seriously as its fame is from Vine and it's not getting any radio play, so there should no reason for me to believe that this guy will have any further success.
Vance Joy: unfortunately, I'm not seeing him having another major hit after "Riptide".
George Ezra: he has a potential for some more success, but we'll see how people respond to the other singles, plus we have to see if the indie folk movement will continue to stick around, as it's been slow as of late.
Milky Chance: I don't see another hit hapenning.

Can't really offer an opinion on them all, but of some:
Mark Ronson: May well be successful as a producer, remixer, etc., but probably a one hit wonder as a lead artist (if not, it'll be because of more collaborations with big name artists.) "Uptown Funk" was an anomaly, albeit a mega-successful one, and to the general public is likely to be remembered mostly as Bruno Mars' hit.
And Mark Ronson is almost exactly the same age as me, at least if Wikipedia is right. (He's two weeks older.)
Natalie La Rose: follow up single is entering the charts, so there's potential. Seems a bit generic sounding to really establish herself as a long term hitmaker, but wouldn't rule it out.
Hozier: Should remain popular with rock/alt audiences, though further pop/CHR success is iffy at best. I was frankly surprised (in a good way) that "Take Me To Church" was as huge as it was.
Walk the Moon: Personally I hope for more big hits from them, but is their other stuff too alternative? Had success at Alt before, so good potential for further success in that field, and name rec could result in more pop hits with the right types of songs.
Charlie Puth: Mega-success of "See You Again" offers good potential for his own hits, if he doesn't wait too long.
LillyWood: Maybe, but I think Robin Schulz will more likely benefit from any "Prayer In C" name rec.
Ella Henderson: Unsure, though good voice offers plenty of potential if the right material is chosen, as with "Ghost".
Alesso: Could have more success as a producer and at least a nominal lead artist, but I'm not sure if he'll really establish himself as a major name with the public. When I think of "Heroes (We Could Be)", I always associate it less with him than Tove Lo (and, for that matter, David Bowie.)
James Newton Howard and Jennifer Lawrence: No, and it's not particularly relevant since he's mainly a film composer and she an actress. "The Hanging Tree" was kind of a fluke, and a pretty minor item on either resume.
Andy Grammer: Technically he already isn't a one hit wonder; "Keep Your Head Up" charted quite respectably a few years ago, though it wasn't as big as "Honey I'm Good" has become. That larger success several years after his first is a good sign for future success, if not as a consistent chartbuster.
OMI: Good start, but too soon to tell.
Fetty Wap: Seems pretty ephemeral, but may have enough momentum for one or two more hits.
Vance Joy: I like him but not sure how well his folkish style will translate into further pop singles success. (Then again, a couple of years ago I thought the same of Ed Sheeran.)
George Ezra: Same as Vance Joy.
Milky Chance: Until and unless they have more hits at Alt, not much hope for pop.

I could see Natalie La Rose becoming a bit of a female Jason Derulo. Uber generic, danceable pop songs that radio can play the hell out of and then throw away

Let's not forget Rihanna started out as a forgettable young pop gurl making dance hits, and look where she is now! Let's not sell Natalie so short so soon.

So, we're halfway through 2015, so now's a good time to talk about what artists this year will end up being one hit wonders. The following artists have all scored their first hit this year and have yet to have a second: -Mark Ronson -Natalie La Rose -Hozier -Walk The Moon -Charlie Puth -LillyWood -Ella Henderson -Alesso -James Newton Howard -Jennifer Lawrence -Jack U -Andy Grammer -OMI -Rachel Platten -Fetty Wap -TWayne -Silento -Vance Joy -George Ezra -Milky Chance So, who's staying and who's going? Mark Ronson: I think he'll have another hit. But not by himself. He'll be supporting another artist again. For all we know, it could be Everyday. Natalie La Rose: I could see things blossoming for her and she could have a nice career a la Nicki Minaj collaborating on other tracks before going solo. Hozier: My feeling is that he'll be fine. If not Someone New, something else will click. Walk the Moon: I don't know. A lot depends on the followup single. Charlie Puth: Hit number two may be happening as we speak with Marvin Gaye, a collaboration with Meghan Trainer. Lilly Wood: Considering Prayer in C has been out for about 5 years and they haven't had an album in 3 years, I think they're one and done. Ella Henderson: She's had three followups to Ghost to lesser effect in England, but her youth (she's only 19) makes me think that she could have a couple more hits. But then again, I thought the same of Duffy and thought we'd be seeing more of Leona Lewis by now. So, it could go either way. Alesso: At only 23, youth is also on his side and I can see him collaborating on another hit. James Newton Howard/Jennifer Lawrence: Combined because I think this was about as unlikely a hit as we thought it would be. It's slightly more likely that Lawrence will have a hit than Howard, but I'd guess Billboard's seen the last of both. Jack U: I had to think for a bit until I realized it was a collaboration between Skrillex and Diplo. If I had to guess, the remake of Take U There with Missy Elliott might give them hit #2. How long this will last is the better question. Andy Grammer: I thought he had more than one hit until I checked Billboard. I can see him landing plenty more because he's got a pop friendly sound going. OMI: I think he's a one hit wonder. Anybody know what happened to Magic!? Rachel Platten: She's the "I've heard of this song but who sings it" artist for awhile. I can see her having a few more hits. Fetty Wap: I think we'll be hearing his name for awhile. TWayne/Silento: I think both artists are probably doomed to one Vine hit apiece. Vance Joy: The fact he's young and writes his own songs is a plus. Plus, being opener for Taylor Swift can't hurt. I'd say he has a second hit in him. George Ezra: If his turn performing on SNL is an indication, he's earned a lot of fans. I can see a lot of people looking forward to his second song. So yeah, he's no one hit wonder. Milky Chance: I'd lean against them having another hit. So many things have to go right.

Too early for this again. *sigh*
Most haven't even released a follow-up to their hit song...
-Mark Ronson - Probably will be one as a main artist. He can score more hits as a producer (where he does have hits before "Uptown Funk"). -Natalie La Rose - "All Around the World" should be a hit. -Hozier - Looking likely -Walk The Moon - They can score another. "Different Colors" won't be the one, but maybe if they release "Work This Body" next, they could have one this era. -Charlie Puth - "Marvin Gaye" has been a hit internationally and probably will be one in the US. -LillyWood - Who? -Ella Henderson - No idea actually -Alesso - "Cool" kinda flopped, but I can see "Scars" doing well. -James Newton Howard - Will be -Jennifer Lawrence - She's an actress, of course she will be. -Jack U - Both Skrillex and Diplo have hits to their name... -Andy Grammer - "Keep Your Head Up" was a hit (not Top 40, but still decently big), but he'll get another. -OMI - Screams one hit wonder -Rachel Platten - One hit -Fetty Wap - "My Way" is looking to be a big hit. Now if only it gets release to iTunes. -T-Wayne - Vine star, enough said. -Silento - See T-Wayne -Vance Joy - On Pop, yes. He already has another hit on Alternative. -George Ezra - Yes -Milky Chance - Yes

Mark Ronson - Not as a solo artist, but as a producer. (and he already has had other hits in the past as a producer including a past 6-week #1) Natalie La Rose - What Technicolor said. Hozier - On Triple A but not on CHR. Walk the Moon - Maybe. They'll definitely be scoring more hits on Alt. Charlie Puth - Yes, Marvin Gaye could be a hit. Lilly Wood - Hell no. As pointed out earlier, Prayer in C was originally released in 2010 and wasn't a hit until 4 years later when it was remixed. Ella Henderson - No. Alesso - Will probably go the way of Avicii after Wake Me Up and have a modest hit, and then the rest of his singles will flop. James Newton Howard/Jennifer Lawrence - No. Jack U - As a duo, no. Individually, definitely. Andy Grammer - Yes. OMI - No (and I hope he becomes a one-hit wonder). Rachel Platten - On AC but not on CHR. Fetty Wap - Yes, My Way. T-Wayne/Silento - Hell no. Vance Joy/George Ezra - No, but they'll have more on Triple A. Milky Chance - No, especially after their follow-up to Stolen Dance flopping on AAA.

Time for my take:
Mark Ronson - He'll do fine as a producer, but as an artist I'm afraid he's done. "Uptown Funk!" was a hit only because of Bruno and it will be remembered as his hit rather than Ronson's. The public just isn't here for the rest of his music - I think his album is the lowest-selling parent album to a #1 hit this decade.
Natalie La Rose - "Around the World" seems to be stalling. While that's not a good sign, it's not necessarily a death knell. She's quite generic and faceless, which could work in her advantage but could also hurt her badly. She could go either way.
Hozier - One hit wonder. His music just isn't made for pop radio, and pop radio clearly has no interest in playing anything else from him. I think he could continue to do well on alternative and AAA but I don't see him getting another crossover.
Walk The Moon - They should continue to make hits on alternative radio but I think we've seen the last of them on pop. They seem to be headed in the same direction as Alex Clare, Capital Cities, Bastille, etc. Maybe they could pull a Neon Trees and get their next hit in a future era, but I'm not putting my money on it.
Charlie Puth - I think Charlie will be around for quite a bit. "Marvin Gaye" is rising iTunes quickly, so that's a good sign. Whether or not he'll have longevity remains to be seen, but there's no way that "See You Again" is his swan song.
LillyWood - I doubt they'll have another hit anywhere else in the world, let alone the USA. Especially since they aren't actively recording music.
Ella Henderson - She'll probably have to wait for her next era for her next shot at a US hit, if she gets one.
Alesso - Like Ronson, he'll succeed as a producer and could muster up a few more international hits. Here in America, it could go either way. "Heroes" was more of a hit because of Tove than him, but I wouldn't write him off as a one-hit wonder as quickly as Ronson.
James Newton Howard - Yeah, he's not getting another hit. But he's a hugely successful composer (and I don't think he has any interest in another pop hit to begin with), so it doesn't really affect his case.
Jennifer Lawrence - Her chances are better than James Newton Howard's, given that the song was a hit because of her, but her chances are also high that she doesn't record any more music.
Jack U - While Skrillex and Diplo will remain visible on the EDM scene, I think Jack U's success was a one-off. Plus I think people will remember it as Bieber's song rather than theirs. Maybe Skrillex or (more likely) Diplo can get another hit on their own, but not Jack U.
Andy Grammer - He'll remain big on Hot AC radio, but I wouldn't be surprised if "Honey, I'm Good" is his only big pop hit. Fortunately his music is pop friendly, so he doesn't really have too much to worry about. It'll still be a tough uphill battle for sustained success a la Phillip Phillips, but I'd say it's 50/50 for him right now.
OMI - Once "Cheerleader"'s over, so is he. He has that same left-field reggae novelty hit stigma that MAGIC! carried last year and he'll be seen as a joke by the end of the year.
Rachel Platten - She could go either way. On one hand, she's very pop friendly and radio will definitely give her follow-up a chance like with all female hits. Inversely, she could end up as this year's Nico & Vinz and have the year's most anonymous non-novelty/left-field hit. I'd put her in the same boat as Andy Grammer right now.
Fetty Wap - He has a lot of buzz about him as a musician, rather than just around "Trap Queen", and while I don't see him having another "Trap Queen"-sized hit, I see him staying on the scene for a while.
TWayne - Nope. He screams "novelty Vine hit rap one-hit wonder".
Silento - Same as TWayne.
Vance Joy - I don't think he has enough momentum from "Riptide" to get another hit. But he still has a dedicated following. If he wants another hit he'll have to rebuild momentum from the start.
George Ezra - Same with Vance Joy.
Milky Chance - They screamed one-hit wonder from the start. I don't think they've even had another hit in Europe.

Should have another hit: Natalie La Rose, Fetty Wap, Charlie Puth, and Alesso
Maybe: Hozier, Andy Grammer, Ella Henderson
The rest I'm thinking will stay one-hit wonders (at least by definition of having a big crossover hit that makes Top 40 on the Hot 100 -- some of them might have "hits" exclusive to their main, smaller radio formats, but nothing big/mainstream I'm predicting).

Mark Ronson - Unless Daffodils goes top 40, probably not Natalie La Rose - Think she is this year's Tinashe, altho she might be able to score another hit or two as a featured artist Hozier - Like Gotye, he is way too left field for another hit to be likely Walk the Moon - They are 2015's Bastille/Capital Cities/Gotye/Foster the People: the random alt-indie pop-rock fluke hit of the year. Should remain popular on the alt charts tho (just like they were before SUAD got popular). Charlie Puth - Well Marvin Gaye debuted on the Hot 100 this week and looks like it has a good chance of making the top 40. It remains to be seen if he can get a solo hit tho. Lillywood - No Ella Henderson - Never heard anything else from her. But if Ghost is any indication I certainly wouldn't mind seeing her get more hits. Alesso - Like Skrillex, he was big for a while in the EDM community before getting his first top 40 hit. It might take another big featured vocalist but I'd say it's possible. James Newton Howard - No Jennifer Lawrence - No Jack U - Wait... is this song officially credited to Skrillex and Diplo or Jack U? Either way, they are both pretty big names in the dubstep community so I wouldn't be surprised. Andy Grammer - No OMI - A little early but he kinda does scream "one hit wonder" to me already... Rachel Platten - Too early but the Kelly Clarkson comparisons aren't helping Fetty Wap - No, he will go away as soon as his stupid song does just like every other Vine artist... T Wayne - See Fetty Wap Silento - Well everyone said Soulja Boy was gonna be a one hit wonder (and many still do) but he proved them wrong, so you never know. But if I had to guess I'd say this is his only hit. Vance Joy - No George Ezra - No Milky Chance - No
By the way, for this comment, no means "No they will not have another hit," not "No they will not be a one hit wonder."

redrooster, you underestimate both Fetty Wap and Andy Grammer. Fetty is not your typical Vine rapper, his song didn't even originally blew up on Vine (that came later), also he has a new single that is expected to do well, and might stick around at least for a little while even though nothing he does will be as big as "Trap Queen". Also, Andy Grammer has been around for a while before he finally found real success with this song, and I think he'll have a few more hits because his songs are very pop sounding, he'll do very well on Adult Contemporary charts.

Also, Andy Grammer has been around for a while before he finally found real success with this song, and I think he'll have a few more hits because his songs are very pop sounding, he'll do very well on Adult Contemporary charts. Sorry, I just don't see those two getting more hits.

I'm sure both acts will continue to do fine on Hot AC.

Well 679 debuted at #34 this week so I guess to those who adhere to the top 40 definition he's no longer a one hit wonder

No one mentioned I LOVE MAKONNEN yet? He just had one hit and we haven't heard from him since.
