@MtlJazz I took the liberty of putting your song title first and then the artist name to make the list consistent.

Again we have the issue that the attribute One Hit Wonder depends on where one lives. Dutch band Shocking Blue were known for more hits than just one, even in Germany (Never Marry a Railroad Man, Inkpot...).

Best regards!

Reminds me of a girl I worked with. The song "Something" was playing on the radio, and she said "Is this one of those one hit wonders".

Yes, it happens as you say since some things are just relative.

However, the OP did not seem to require an absolute attribute. 🙂
