I tried to trim it down to 50 but here we are. Each artist/group selected has only ONE top-40 Hot 100 (or Hot 100 Airplay) hit in their catalog which is the textbook definition of a "one-hit wonder".. Tagging the people that did the first part plus a couple extras who may be into it but everyone's welcome.

The 90s had enough great one-hit wonders for another trip to the well. I'm definitely down for this.

And I already said some of my thoughts on some of the honorable mentions I posted about the songs, so this will be interesting. Idk what my 1 is.
Three Little Pigs will probably have the highest standard deviation, I think that one might be a lock.
As far as the winner, it could be anything.

I almost passed over the top 40 rule, otherwise calling Fiona Apple a one hit wonder is BOLD

Some great songs in here, im definitely in for the sequel! Although some of these artists i wouldnt really consider to be one hit wonders.
PUSA with “Lump” and who can forget the theme song to the Drew Carey Show “Cleveland Rocks” Sister Hazel with “Change Your Mind” The Prodigy with “Smack My Bitch Up”….maybe more for the controversy than an actual hit but it definitely had impact back in the 90s especially with the video which MTV did actually play a few times….really late at night. Harvey Danger with “Save it for Later” Fatboy Slim “Rockafellar Skank”
Admittedly im not really sure how big of hits these songs actually were, but i remember them all very well.

Harvey Danger with “Save it for Later” Fatboy Slim “Rockafellar Skank” Admittedly im not really sure how big of hits these songs actually were, but i remember them all very well. None of those songs cracked the top-40 on the Hot 100 (or Hot 100 Airplay) chart.

Yeah, it’s tough to make a list that everyone can agree on so the best thing to do is just set a rule and stick to it. I’d probably be a lot more loose with my definition that would probably end up with a lot more disagreements so good thing I’m not doing this rankdown 😂 We’re in very good hands here!

90s One-Hit Wonders II (Due JULY 17th)1. SHOOTER2. weaver3. nathanalbright4. SabrinaFan5, singingrulebritanniaNothing too crazy to report yet. • Between the five, there are five different #1s and currently a three-way tie for the #1 slot. • Only one song has yet to leave the bottom-6 while the #56 mainstay has now vaulted into the top-50. • Highest SD currently belongs to a solo artist (inside the top-10); lowest SD belongs to a band (inside the top-30). Pure chaos is brewing so keep the lists coming!Some Other 90s One-Hit Wonders:(Hot 100 Peak: #29) (Hot 100 Peak: #21) (Hot 100 Peak: #39)

That's a very quick deadline, but I'll try to do it. I have a good idea of what will be in my top ten.

I'll try to do this!
An aside: It's annoying that Billboard had that stupid physical singles rule in the 90's, since Torn didn't make the top 40 because of it and it's the quintessential 90s OHW imo

An aside: It's annoying that Billboard had that stupid physical singles rule in the 90's, since Torn didn't make the top 40 because of it and it's the quintessential 90s OHW imo I did include artists that had a single top-40 hit on the Airplay chart (or Radio Songs as it’s now labeled) because of that rule. That said, Wishing I Was There peaked at #25 so, although it was clearly overshadowed, Natalie’s technically a 2-hit wonder. 💔

90s One-Hit Wonders II (Due in 2.5 Weeks)1. SHOOTER2. weaver3. nathanalbright4. SabrinaFan5, singingrulebritannia6. ccarter1023• With six lists, two participants now share a #1 and the gaps inside the top-3 have widened a bit. • A new song has entered the bottom-6 for the first time. • Highest and lowest SDs now belongs to solo artists; highest is inside the bottom-20 while lowest is inside the bottom-10. I moved the deadline a bit since there wasn't quite a full month given to do this but...don't take it for granted.Some Other 90s One-Hit Wonders:(Hot 100 Peak: #27) (Hot 100 Peak: #14) (Hot 100 Peak: #38)

Sent in my rankings!
That was a lot of fun to go through. I ended up liking more songs than I thought I would and recognized more songs than I thought I would too!
