EMF went top 20 with Lies Gerardo went top 20 with We Want The Funk Snow went Top 20 with Girl I've Been Hurt Digital Underground scraped in at 40 with Kiss You Back
All these should have been disqualified and replaced with folks like Merrill, Donna Lewis, Perfect Gentleman, Adina Howard, Positive K, Portrait, Corina, Corona, Dee-lite, Curtis Stigers, Etc.....

Vanilla Ice should be number 1, any time I hear the term "one hit wonder" he immediately comes to mind lol

I think Rump Shaker should have an asterisk because Teddy Riley was in 2 other groups (Guy, and BLACKstreet) with multiple hits

I hate when people ignore the charts and the core radio formats when making these One Hit Wonder lists.
Digital Underground was one of the bigger hip hop acts of the early 90s and had some pretty big rap hits back then (Kiss You Back, Same Song, Do What Ya Like)
Same Goes For Sir-Mix-A-Lot....he was a pretty big rap artist in the late 80s and early 90s...BEFORE Baby Got Back
They should be slapped senseless for calling Kris Kross one hit wonders. They had four Top 20 hits on the Hot 100....all of them went Top 10 at Urban radio. Plus, they had a few other moderate urban hits (I Missed The Bus, Live and Die For Hip Hop, Da Bomb....hell, there were probably a few more I can't remember since I was so young back then)

^ That's probably fair, though I think the objective is solely looking at the Hot 100, which is a chart that generally indicates massive crossover appeal. I do agree with you though. Using that standard, I believe that The Grateful Dead would be a one-hit wonder - their only appearance in the top ten was for "Touch of Grey."

^^^Which is why I don't like that standard. Garth Brooks is also a one hit wonder according to the Hot 100

Corona charted on the Hot 100 two times with "Baby Baby" and "The Rhythm Of The Night" (the latter only made it into the top 40). Corona had a few others chart on the Billboard Club Play chart, and of course outside the U.S. Corina had 3 singles on the Hot 100, of which only one went top 40. She had a total of 6 singles which charted on some sort of Billboard chart. Deeelite also had 2 singles on the Hot 100 (again, only one top 40). But about 12 overall (several charted as double a-sides so the number would be less) on the Club Play chart.

The Cardigans, and OMC should be there. Another overlooked one is Donna Lewis. ILYAF spent 9 weeks at #2, and I don't think anything else made top 40 on the Hot 100.
Shawn Colvin should also be there. SunnY Came Home was her only Hot 100 hit, and it won ROTY.
And Loreena McKennitt?
