I was just wondering where did the following huge "One Hit Wonders" peak on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart?
Los Del Rio - "Macerena"
Las Ketchup - "Ketchup Song" *or was that not released in America cause I know it was a huge 'one hit wonder' in Britain and Australia.
Baha Men - "Who Let The Dogs Out"
Aqua - "Barbie Girl"
Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy"
Lou Bega - "Mambo #5"
Thanks!

Spent 14 weeks at #1 and stayed on the Hot 100 for 60 weeks. Debuted (and peaked) at #7. The highest debut ever (at the time) for a first single. |

Was that high debut based on high sales or inordinately strong airplay?

Sales, definitely (although it did have some decent pop airplay).

Las Ketchup - "Ketchup Song"
> not sure where it peaked on the Hot 100, but I know it was released here in the US (it just missed the top 40 on R&R's pop chart)
Baha Men - "Who Let The Dogs Out"
> #40 on the Hot 100
Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy"
> 3 weeks at #1, certified Platinum
Lou Bega - "Mambo #5"
> peaked at #3, despite spending 6 weeks at #1 on the airplay chart (it was only released as a 12" vinyl single); spent 10 straight weeks in the top five

"The Ketchup Song (Hey Hah)" peaked at #54, thank God. About 47 spots too high. |

Just for clarification, Aqua and Los Del Rio are not one hit wonders. The former had a higher charting single on pop "Turn Back Time" and Los Del Rio had Latin fame before Macarena.
I also question putting Lou Bega on the list as well. He did have another hit "Tricky Tricky" which peaked in the low 20s on the pop chart.

The former had a higher charting single on pop "Turn Back Time" and Los Del Rio had Latin fame before Macarena. - Aqua had more than 5 hits in Europe. - Los Del Rio... I'm tired of them, but I have to say that being Spanish means that I know more than 3 songs by them |
