I don't think Fetty will be a OHW. His latest "My Way" has that catchy beat that will probably hook a lot of people and it's already doing pretty well on iTunes and Spotify I believe. In fact, I heard it on my rhythmic-leaning pop station today.

also you know "679" is already top 20 so
(although considering how "my way" is already #2 on itunes then it doesn't matter if "679" even existed or not lmfao)

Well it looks like Marvin Gaye made the top 40 this week. So to those who adhere to the top 40 definition, Charlie Puth is no longer a one hit wonder. But like I said, it remains to be seen if he can get even one hit on his own.

Here's a new batch of potential one hit wonders -Jidenna -R. City -Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart & Sofia Carson -Elle King -X Ambassadors
The last 2 haven't made the top 40 yet but I can say with 99% confidence that they will eventually

They'll be one-hit wonder just because it's a soundtrack track, unless they were to somehow breakout on their own (and with a name like Booboo Stewart, I highly doubt it).

Looking up the movie, it's a Disney Channel movie. I guess that's why I haven't heard of them.

Of the new batch, I could see all of them ending up as one hit wonders except for Jidenna. He could always do some hot features or something.

Jidenna could stick around. I see him actually becoming the new Frank Ocean.
The Descendants cast will be one-hit wonders, but they're still very successful actors and will remain that way.
R. City are in the exact same position as Mark Ronson. If "Locked Away" is seen as a Maroon 5/Adam song the same way "Uptown Funk" was Bruno's, we all know what will happen.
X Ambassadors and Elle King are no hit wonders at this point. X Ambassadors will probably become ones but Elle could be around for a while.
Charlie and Fetty are no longer one-hit wonders. Good for them!
And lastly with "Fight Song" doing worse than most of us expected, it looks very unlikely at this point that Rachel Platten will be having a second hit. In fact, I think she'll fail to return to the entire Hot 100.
EDIT: Actually if this rebounds I think she might stay for a while.

Anyone can chart if they're included on a song with Wiz Khalifa or Meghan Trainor. Rachel Platten is almost guaranteed to be a one hit wonder at this point just like Andy Grammer.

You're probably right. Fight Song's resurgence is probably going to only last a week like "Let Her Go" after the Super Bowl commercial. I don't see either her nor Andy getting another hit; Even if "Fight Song" was the bigger hit "Honey I'm Good" was more universally liked, thus they both have roughly the same chances at another hit, which sadly aren't very good. I'd say Andy could get another hit (although probably not during this era) but Rachel is finished even on Hot AC.

I'm mostly invested in Alternative, so I'll primarily comment on those artists. Walk the Moon will certainly continue to have success at that format, and possibly Hot AC. They probably won't have another CHR hit this era, but it's certainly possible on a future album if they have a strong enough single and the climate is still favorable towards them. I'm less sure that Hozier, Vance Joy, and George Ezra will have longevity on any format other than Triple A, but I wouldn't totally rule them out either. Milky Chance will almost certainly be one-hit wonders across the board, and that fate is also pretty likely for X Ambassadors and Elle King, assuming they even have much CHR success in the first place.
Outside of the Alternative realm, OMI and Howard/Lawrence are also sure to be one-hit wonders. Puth and Grammer will probably each have at least one or two more hits. The rest seem like they could go either way.

I wouldn't even call that a hit since is not getting any radio play, nor is it even charting very high. Is more than likely that it won't be on the chart for much longer, so I don't think they should count, at least not yet.

Now that Fetty Wap has 3 Top 10 singles this year, it's safe to not call him a one hit wonder.

Bwahahahahahahahaha N.W.A. now qualifies as a one hit wonder for 2015 with a song that was released in 1988 and they haven't released anything since 1999!

Judgment should be used in these definitions of one hit wonders, rather than say everyone with one top 40 Hot 100 hit, is a "one hit wonder" until proven otherwise some judgment should probably come into play.
Is Garth Brooks a one-hit wonder? How about artists who typically record in other genres that just happen to land a song on the Hot 100?
Or actors who are not really singers but just happened to sing in a movie?
Are artists that have been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame such as NWA, one hit wonders just because the chart rules of today now allow their songs to chart?

I have been waiting for something like this to happen ever since the time Livin' On a Prayer randomly jumped into the top 40 for a week because it was used in a viral video and then the next week Only Time did the same after it was used in a commercial that went viral. Those two songs had already made the top 40 in their time, as had several other of Bon Jovi and Enya's songs, but I knew that sooner or later it would happen to some artist who was popular despite having no prior top 40 hits (think Judas Priest).

R. City---I'm going to say one hit wonder (kinda reminds me of Nico and Vinz from last year) Cameron, et al---One hit wonder for sure. Can't see them striking when the iron is hot a la Charlie Puth. Elle King---I think she's a one hit wonder. But I hope that I'm wrong here because Ex's and Oh's is a good song. X Ambassadors---Just a hunch, but I think we'll be hearing from them again soon.

I'm going to do an update on all the artists mentioned.
-Mark Ronson - As a main artist, yes. "Uptown Funk" was partly a huge hit due to Bruno Mars' presence, and "Feel Right" flopped. However, he could still get some hits here and there as a producer on a "featured artist" song. -Natalie La Rose - Yes. Not even the hottest rapper right now (Fetty Wap) could help her second single be huge. -Hozier - On the Hot 100, maybe. He's not a one hit wonder on the AAA format, where he has three top 5 hits (Take Me to Church, From Eden and Someone New). But that depends on whether Someone New goes top 10 on Hot AC. -Walk The Moon - Their core format is alternative, where they have three top 10 hits. I can see them having pop success with their latest single/ their next lead single with the right promotion. -Charlie Puth - No. "Marvin Gaye" is already a top 30 hit on the Hot 100, though it's probably done on pop (-101 update today) -LillyWood - Yes. "Prayer In C" could be more of a Robin Schulz song than a Lillywood single, as does singles from other DJs such as Calvin Harris and David Guetta. I see Robin having more hits with the right promotion too, but a nada for Lillywood. -Ella Henderson - Hard to tell. "Ghost" was a modest hit, but "Mirror Man" totally bombed in the US. We'll see how her next lead single performs. She'll still be huge in the UK though. -Alesso - Probably, especially when his song "Cool" did nothing. See Ella Henderson. -James Newton Howard and Jennifer Lawrence - Wait, Jennifer Lawrence sings?????? On a more serious note, yes to both, considering that the former is a music composer and the latter is an actress. -Skrillex/Diplo/Jack U - While not radio hits, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" and "Bangarang" were minor hits for Skrillex. As a collaboration though, Jack Ü can go either way. But that depends on how "To Ü" does, which I think could be a modest hit. -Andy Grammer - He already has some hits on the Hot AC format, and "Honey, I'm Good." brought him back on track after "Back Home" underperformed. "Good to Be Alive" is also making moves on Hot AC, and could do something on CHR too. I think he won't be a one hit wonder. -OMI - Maybe. "Hula Hoop" just went top 50 on CHR, so that's a bit promising for him. We'll see. -Rachel Platten - I think she'll stay. Her follow-up is doing fine on Hot AC, and I think it will be a hit. -Fetty Wap - With three #1 Urban hits and three top 10s on the Hot 100, it's pretty clear that he's no longer a one hit wonder. -T-Wayne - Yes. Nasty Freestyle made top 20 on Urban, and top 30 on Rhythmic, and it didn't last long on both charts. That's not good enough for his future. One-hit wonder -Silento - Another rapper from Vine, but unlike T-Wayne, his single made top 10 on both Urban and Rhythmic, and even top 20 on Pop. That's really good for a polarizing song. There's a chance that he can avoid being relegated to one-hit wonder status, but there's also a chance that he may go the Bobby Shmurda route. -Vance Joy - See WALK THE MOON. "Mess Is Mine" didn't do much on Hot AC, but it was still huge on Alternative and AAA. With the right promotion, I think his next lead single can be a hit. -George Ezra - "Blame It on Me" could do something on Hot AC, and his singles have been huge in the UK. I think he'll stay. -Milky Chance - Probably. "Flashed Junk Mind" flopped on Alternative, but it had a lot of longevity. In fact, alternative stations are still playing it. -Jidenna - I think he can still have some hits as "Classic Man" was huge on Rhythmic and Urban, and "Yoga" was a top 20 Urban hit. But we'll see how his new single does. -R. City - They've been around since 2003 and have been working with several other artists. I think they'll stay, but with the right promotion. -Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart & Sofia Carson - Actors/actresses, see JNH and J Law. One-hit wonders -Elle King - I think she'll stay. "Ex's & Oh's" is going to be huge on Pop, and her follow-up should do well on alternative/AAA radio too. -X Ambassadors - Maybe. Their album wasn't well received (at least on Sputnik), but "Renegades" is going to be huge on Pop too. I'm leaning towards them avoiding the one-hit wonder tag, especially when "Jungle" was a minor hit last year.

There's a chance that he can avoid being relegated to one-hit wonder status, but there's also a chance that he may go the Soulja Boy route. If he avoids being relegated to one-hit wonder status, wouldn't that actually be "going the Soulja Boy route?"

But Soulja Boy only had a few hits, mostly famous for "Crank That" and "Kiss Me thru the Phone". He hasn't had a lasting hit since 2009. He's done now. Also, I've changed my comparison to Bobby Shmurda, who only as one hit, "in truey I'm some hot n*gga".

If he avoids being relegated to one-hit wonder status, wouldn't that actually be "going the Soulja Boy route?" Yeah, "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" was a hit, but how remembered is it now? Probably when most people hear the Soulja Boy name they think of (the supremely annoying IMO) "Crank That (Soulja Boy)", of course aided by the fact that his name is repeated throughout it. Among others listed, Skrillex & Diplo/Jack U do have potential for more hits, but also could end up perhaps in a Mark Ronson-type situation, with "Where Are U Now" being associated more with Justin Bieber. That's one of the more interesting cases to watch. It'll also be interesting to see if R.City have more hits without a feature; "Locked Away" may not be a hit just due to Adam Levine, but he certainly helps.

I still remember "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" well, but it doesn't matter at all if it's remembered by most now. It's still a hit. Most top 10 hits that ever happened aren't still remembered by the GP today. Don't even try it with Soulja Boy as a one hit wonder.

You can't just ignore "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" like that when it made the top 5 and went 2x platinum.

UPDATED PREDICTIONS:
-Mark Ronson: Likely never returning to the Hot 100 as an artist. -Natalie La Rose: Nope. She's done. -Hozier: Very unlikely to ever have another pop hit. -Walk The Moon: Ditto. -Charlie Puth: As a lead, probably. But people will probably remember SYA as his "one hit" rather than MG. -LillyWood: They're finished all over the world -Ella Henderson: In the U.S., she's likely done. -Alesso: All future hits will likely only be production. -James Newton Howard: Yeah....no. -Jennifer Lawrence: Ditto. -Jack U: They're done without Bieber. I don't see Skrillex ever getting another pop hit anyway. -Andy Grammer: Certainly not on Hot AC, but likely going to be one on pop. If he gets another hit he'll have to wait for his next era. -OMI: No. He's finished. -Rachel Platten: May have more success on Hot AC but she's done on pop. -TWayne: Nope. -Silento: More likely to have another hit than T-Wayne but still very unlikely. -Vance Joy: He's done. -George Ezra: Ditto. -Milky Chance: Not getting another hit anywhere in the world. -R. City: They're finished without Adam. -Major Lazer: They'll be fine on a global scale. -IHeartMemphis: See T-Wayne. -Descendants: They're actors, so no. -Elle King: She'll need to get another hit on Alt first. -X Ambassadors: See Elle. -Hailee Steinfeld: No. The "actor with a hit" novelty usually only works once. -Jidenna: IDK.

Future - I think he'll get another hit despite his sophomore slump last year; especially with 2 no. 1 albums this year. Alessia Cara - Probably will get another hit but we'll see. Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love is more of a Calvin Harris song than a Disciples one. Hence --> one hit wonder probably
