90s One Hit Wonders Rankdown - Winner revealed

[312999]

So many people talk about 1 hit wonders not getting any love at all or their songs not loved because it is from an unknown artist. This made me decide to do a Rankdown for people who are considered 1 hit wonders. There is this video I found on Youtube that posts 50 1 hit wonders from the 90s and looking at the songs, I think that it is pretty accurate, so I am going to use what is on this list, and put it on a Rankdown. Send me your list in Private Messages from 1 to 50 with 1 being your favorite song and 50 being your least favorite song. Let's see which 1 hit wonder from the 90s is Pulses favorite. The video where I got the songs from is posted below. Tentative deadline right now is May 15 right after my spring semester in university ends, but there could be a small extension or 2 depending on how this goes. Spotify playlist is also below.

Since this Rankdown has a little bit of everything, I will tag all the genres, but if you do not want to be tagged or participate in this, please let me know, and if you are not tagged but want to do this, also please let me know. I condensed the tag list so hopefully there's no repeat names in the tags. I will remove you from the tag list after you submit.

[nathanalbright]

I love this idea

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

I will do this. I know most of these already. Will send this week.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I’m in!

[Cody Wants Out...]

Ooh, I know more of these than I thought; I'll definitely consider doing this!

[beyoncelover]

Oooh saw this game and it looks like a lot of fun! I recognized a lot of these songs and loved like.... my Top 20! I will submit my ranking now!

[ilikemilk]

YES!!! This is a great Rankdown and I see so many great songs! I will do it.

[bigd79]

Yeah i’ll be doing this. Been on a huge 90s kick lately anyways so this is in my wheelhouse for sure

[CF15]

I'll try to do this. I don't know all of the songs, but I really like a lot of the ones I do know.

[312999]

Thank you for the 4 people who have sent me your lists! I have seen it, just have not put it in yet but I will do that next week hopefully.

Here is an honorable mention of what some people can call a 1 hit wonder. His only top 10 hit and he also had a 45 peaking song. Some of his songs made the top 20 in UK though. But for the most part, people only know him for this song only. Technically this was released in 1989 but did not really get popular until 1991.

[312999]

Hey everyone, going to do my first reminder, still more than a month left! Plenty of time. I have 4 lists right now and so far every participant has a different 1 and 50. Again if you do not want to be tagged, please let me know and I can remove, and if you are not tagged and want to be, also let me know.

Hopefully there isn't any double tags on this, and hopefully I removed the participants from getting tagged again. and nvm on that part I posted it before removing the participants, but now I will fix for next tag.

Here is another possible 1 hit wonder. They could be considered one, or could be borderline. They do have a 30 peaking song, but no one really remembers, and this is the song that they are known for well. I really love this song a lot and would have been in my top 5 possibly if it was included. 

I included the lyric video because the actual music video for this song is messed up and a bit different.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

Linear also had "Don't You Come Crying" peaked at #70. Not exactly a Billboard hit tho. As for Timmy T. He had the Freestyle classic "Time After Time" that one hit #40. My definition of an American One hit wonder disqualifies the artist once they have two or more Top 40 hits.

[CF15]

Sent. I really liked most of these, so it was difficult to have to rank them against each other. Choosing a #1 was also difficult, as I love my top 3 about equally. And I'll probably do poorly.

[312999]

1 more month remaining. I have 7 lists right now and the results are a bit interesting. I'm a little surprised right now at some songs that are in the top 10, but still plenty of time.

[312999]

And our next honorable mention is going to be one of the weirdest songs of all time, and I actually like this, it's more of a talk singing song, and I am not sure if we will ever get another song to ever chart like this ever again.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I know it wasn't a hit but aren't Quad City DJs also known for the Space Jam theme? Hell on Spotify, that has more streams that C'mon Ride This Train. It just feels odd to consider them one hit wonders

Yea I know, that's why One Hit Wonder is so vague, I know and like that song myself, actually though I am surprised that it has more streams though than Train. But if there was one artist or group that could have been removed from the list and replaced with something else, Quad Citys are that choice in my opinion.

[gonecountry]

In!

[walt91]

Keep tagging me, I'll try to send for this.

[craziaskowboi]

Remind me when we get into May.

[House Lannister]

This is gonna be tough, but maybe?

[312999]

No new lists for a while, still have 2 weeks but I might extend regardless, so still plenty of time!

Our next 1 hit wonder honorable mention is from an artist that had a slow climb up on the charts and was one of the earliest songs to spend over 52 weeks on the charts. Honestly, I kind of don't remember how it goes, but it's an alright song looking back onto it.

Love it.  Duncan Sheik won the 2006 Tony Awards for Best Original Score for his work on the musical Spring Awakening.

[ilikemilk]

Barely Breathing is amazing!

[nathanalbright]

I think it's a real shame that Duncan Sheik was a one-hit wonder; he had a lot of good material and Daylight is a great album.

[Optical Apex]

Barely Breathing only peaked at #16 too, but at #18 on the Year End list

Also, could you tag me in this?

You already are being tagged! Your name is on the very bottom of the last tag list, unless you were not getting the notifications, I'm pretty sure. And I thought Khalid with Location with a year end of 21 with a 16 peak was high, turns out it isn't even the highest year end song with a 16 peak

[312999]

I am going to extend this to the last day of May - May 31, and I hope no more extensions after that, as I am still very busy and focused on uni right now, and I realized my semester actually ends May 20, so after that I can totally focus 100 percent more on this Rankdown and do more tagging.

Right now there is a tie for the top 2! and One of the songs tied for the top is one I find unexpected as in I didn't think it would be that close to winning. Send send send. 23 more days.
