But in this case Kungs is nothing more than just a word in the title. Meghan Trainor had a strong presence, but you can't see anything behind "This girl". Music video is pretty much a stock footage. Even credit will make people confused, "Kungs vs Cookin On 3 Burners". Who remixed it, Kungs or Cookin on 3 Burners? Nobody even cares. Ok, maybe he will have more hits in Europe because he does remind me of other boring DJs like Sigala or Robin Schulz, but there is no way he will have more hits in the US. It doesn't matter. Everyone was so certain she would never have another hit and look what happened. She didn't just score a quick followup hit with minimal legacy (think Carly, Lorde) but she actually managed to establish herself as a legitimate hitmaker. I think that comparing Kungs to Meghan Trainor is pretty pointless. It's like comparing Hippie Sabotage to Lady Gaga. If remix is your first hit you will struggle to prove people that you have actual personality, your own gimmick, especially if you are the remixer. We did not need any proof that Meghan Trainor has personality (or in her case, persona). Calvin Harris had star power of Rihanna that helped him avoid being a one hit wonder, David Guetta also managed to work with big names. Kungs is a non-presence.

Off topic, but I don't think Lorde is a fair comparison since she hasn't released another album yet. Considering her debut album sold nearly 5 million around the world, there's clearly interest in her.

If there's so little interest in her, how come she got a triple platinum debut album? Neither of them were given much of a push (not being distributed to pop radio for example), so they aren't flops compared to a single that was given a mainstream push. Wait until she releases her second album, it'll be huge.

Excellent point. She's over. Like how Beyoncé has been over since 2007.

This probably goes in this thread. Just announced this week, Disturbed whose big run at the Hot 100 top 40 with their "non hit" remake of "Sound of Silence" that stalled at #42 has sold 1 million copies.

Beyonce has had plenty of actual hits since 2007 so what are you even talking about? I guess we'll have to wait and see how the singles off Lorde's next album do. I'm not as optimistic as everyone else on here but apparently her next album is due sometime this winter?

She's had plenty of songs not do well too. Wasn't that what you said about Lorde? How can Lorde have songs flop if so many people are interested in her. Ask that about literally any other pop star. It happens. It means nothing. Especially given the two songs in question.

I did not know Pop radio was the end all of popularity...Lorde is more of an alt artist...both Magnets and Yellow Flicker Beat did pretty well at alt

People still think Zara won't be a OHW even after her supposed US follow-up smash "Lush Life" bombed stateside?

I honestly think Gates being a one-hit wonder is bull, Really Really got to #46, went platinum, and spent 26 weeks on the chart

Time to give my predictions:
Zayn - Possibly. At first I thought he'd be guaranteed to score a quick follow-up, but I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. It also seems like much of the buzz surrounding him is gone now that the novelty wore off. Still, I wouldn't write him out just yet, because he can easily score a hit with his follow-up album.
Wizkid - Definitely. His American popularity is extremely limited, and I doubt a singer from Nigeria is going to have much more in the way of crossover success.
Kyla - Definitely. She's almost completely unknown outside the song, even in her native England. I doubt she'll be able to get another hit.
Alessia Cara - Possibly. Her follow-ups have both charted but failed to make the Top 40. Could this change in the future? Who knows.
Rozes - Definitely. She has no profile outside her spot on the self-titled Chainsmokers song. Since she was so obscure that it didn't rob The Chainsmokers of their fame, I don't see her getting any further success.
Kent Jones - Likely. He's too generic to stick out, and I don't see any buzz surrounding him at all.
DNCE - Possibly. I believe much of the success of their first hit was due to the novelty of Joe Jonas making a song with blatant sexual innuendos and swearing. The novelty is only good for one song, as evidenced by their follow-up falling just short of the Top 40. I'm not counting them out just yet though, since their Maroon 5-lite sound makes them pretty well-fit for both CHR and Hot AC.
Yo Gotti - Possibly. His music isn't really made with the radio in mind, and much of the success of his song was due to a remix featuring Nicki Minaj. However, he has a large fanbase, so him notching another Top 40 hit either as a lead or a feature isn't completely out of the question.
Zara Larsson - Likely. As much hate as some people might give me for this, I always predicted that "Lush Life" wouldn't smash in the US despite what almost everyone here was saying. It seems to me that there isn't as much interest in her as what was initially thought.
MNEK - Definitely. Unlike Zara, he's not even trying to target the American market. He should be fine in his native UK, at least as a producer.
Post Malone - Likely. His follow-up barely charted, and I don't see a whole lot of interest in him now that his hit has faded from public consciousness.
Logic - Likely. As much as it pains me to say this (being a fan of him), his music isn't really made with the mainstream radio in mind and much of his success comes from album sales and touring. He's one of those "album-oriented" artists if you know what I mean. I can't see him getting another hit unless he collaborates with someone for a radio single.
James Bay - Likely. He's one of those fluke indie folk crossovers that seem to be popping up a lot. He could have continue success back in England, and Hot AC should welcome him as well.
Kevin Gates - Unlikely. He has a large fanbase and excellent sales for his singles, so he should get another hit sooner or later.
D.R.A.M. - Likely. His song is a novelty ode to cannabis that is unlikely to gain any traction, and he doesn't really stick out in any meaningful way.
Lil Yachty - Likely. Same deal as above.
Camila Cabello - Possibly. Right now she's still a member of Fifth Harmony, and who knows how long they will stick around. Maybe one day she'll go solo, and score a hit. I don't see that happening anytime soon, however.
Bipolar Sunshine - Definitely. His American popularity is nonexistent outside the DJ Snake song, so I don't see him gaining any traction in the US whatsoever.
Kiiara - Possibly. She's one of those indie pop singers that could go either way, but we'll have to see if she can score a successful hit sometime in the future.
Flume - Possibly. His music isn't really pop-friendly, but he has a massive fanbase and is one of the most success EDM production acts on the market. He could score a hit in the future, but even if he doesn't it won't hurt his overall popularity.
Kai - Definitely. She's so unnotable that she currently doesn't have a Wikipedia page. Her occupation is basically an EDM vocalist, and one's that aren't established stars tend to not have much in the way of success outside their spot on a song.
Troye Sivan - Possibly. "Youth" had a lot of traction at first before falling like a brick without even reaching the Top 20, so who knows if he'll be able to bounce back after that.
Ruth B - Likely. I don't see her notching another hit stateside. It just seems too left-field and she seems quite generic, failing to stand out among the crowd.
Gnash - Likely. A fluke hit by an indie hip-hop artist doesn't usually spell out further success in most cases.
Olivia O'Brien - Definitely. She has no popularity outside that song, making her even more unlikely to get another hit than the lead.
Remy Ma - Likely. Her major hit was due to a comeback from Fat Joe, so unless their next collaboration turns out to be a hit single, I don't see her notching another Top 40 hit.
Infared - Definitely. Being completely unheard of outside a song doesn't normally spell out success.
Cam - Possibly. I know nothing of country, so I don't know if she'll get another hit or not.
Kungs - Definitely. He's completely unknown in the US outside the remix, though he might have more success outside of it.
Cookin' on 3 Burners - Definitely. This Australian soul group is even more obscure than Kungs in the states.
Karen Fairchild - Definitely. She's only successful as a feature, and there's little interest in her outside of LBT.

What do you mean both of her follow ups? Wild Things was her only other follow-up that charted, and it indeed failed to make the Top 40. If you're referring to "Here" as her other follow-up then you're way wrong lmao, that was her massive hit. And yes, she most likely will break out of the one hit wonder zone with "Scars To Your Beautiful" and/or her featured spot on Troye Sivan's "WILD" (not to be confused with "Wild Things"), also giving Troye his second hit. Also DNCE will score a follow-up hit with "Pay My Rent".

"Scars To Your Beautiful" is what I was referring to. It debuted at #95, but I'm not very confident for some reason.

He's completely unknown in the US outside the remix, though he might have more success outside of it. Cookin' on 3 Burners - Definitely. This Australian soul group is even more obscure than Kungs in the states. Karen Fairchild - Definitely. She's only successful as a feature, and there's little interest in her outside of LBT. What do you mean both of her follow ups? Wild Things was her only other follow-up that charted, and it indeed failed to make the Top 40. If you're referring to "Here" as her other follow-up then you're way wrong lmao, that was her massive hit. And yes, she most likely will break out of the one hit wonder zone with "Scars To Your Beautiful" and/or her featured spot on Troye Sivan's "WILD" (not to be confused with "Wild Things"), also giving Troye his second hit. Also DNCE will score a follow-up hit with "Pay My Rent". You sound convinced. I can't wait to see you flounder in the coming months.

'Wild' by Troye and Alessia flopped already, it's just about gone from the top 50 on pop radio. It's not going to be a hit, which is disappointing.

redrooster You don't have to quote the entire long posts, you can just blank them and cut to chase, you know. That aside, I predict that "Pay My Rent" will be DNCE's second hit because it's been getting significant Radio Disney airplay lately.

Radio Disney doesn't even contribute to the pop airplay chart LMAO. Unless it gets released as a mainstream single it's going nowhere.

Will Ghost Town DJ's be re-added to the "One Hit Wonders Of 2016" Wikipedia page since My Boo reached a new peak in 2016 or will they stay on the 1990's page but with a note saying how it peaked in 2016 thanks to The Running Man Challenege?
