I am reading a book about Physicist Brian Cox who also played keyboards for D:Ream.
The band were described as one-hit wonders. Good enough for me, and perhaps you!

D Ream had 12 UK Top 40 hits and don't appear in the Wiki list of UK one-hit wonders.
This habit of winking must be cured. I find it ambiguous. I quote from pp21 "Brian Cox - The Unauthorised Biography by Ben Falk":
He (Schoolfriend Tim Haughton) remembers hearing Cox's name again years later, when he was part of a dance outfit D:Ream. 'D:Ream With the nicest will in the World, were a one-hiit wonder' says Haughton. 'They had so much success with that one song. And you thought, this has got to be the springboard to much greater things AND THEY JUST DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET.'
Isn't looking at the Wiki list, cheating? Just sayin'.

I guess we've had this discussion almost any time the one hit wonder theme pops up. And that's been quite often so far . The definition just depends on where you're living.D Ream had 12 UK Top 40 hits and don't appear in the Wiki list of UK one-hit wonders.
Best regards!
