One Hit Wonder's follow up songs - the more disastrous the better.
This one effectively ended Billy Paul's career.

Tainted Love was their biggest hit and not a follow up. They also had quite a few top 40 hits and so the track does not fit this albums criteria.
OK - Executive decision! 😀

Doesn't the accolade One Hit Wonder depend on where in the world we live? So, what's the point with this theme?
Best regards!

Yes, I think so 😉. But this one excludes possible participiants who don't know where a hit was a one hit wonder and where it wasn't.
An example: In 1969 French singer Michel Polnareff had a worldwide (most probably) hit with his La poupée qui fait non. At least in Germany this was his only one, so we see him as a one hit wonder. Whereas in France and other French speaking countries he was a big selling star.

That's always the problem with this type of criteria.
The Soft Cell entry that's been removed is a case in point, in the US, where the poster was from, Tainted Love certainly was a one hit wonder.
