In what universe are the Isleys, Sting, and Bon Jovi one-hit wonders? Two of these artists are already in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame!

Hey Ya!

I think the point is these were their only 00s hits.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd bet $5 we never hear from J-Kwon again.

MY NOMINATIONS ARE ELVIS, THE BEATLES, AND CHRIST.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

but the gorillaz, the hives and scissor sisters have all had more than one hit

So did tATu and Macy Gray. The only 100% goner on that list is Sisqo.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

what kind of twilight zone chart is this?!!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

The British charts.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah. Apologies on behalf of America for unleashing the dragon on you.

We should really divide these lists by country. It's hopeless otherwise.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

TaTu and the Scissor Sisters weren't one-hits.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah that list is off the wall.

shakedown-at night

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

"Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

obvious choices are the many one-off advert-theme bands; babylon zoo, seven mary three, free radicals etc..

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, *good* call on the Sunshine Anderson track. Damn did we all forget her fast. I'll follow it up with Truth Hurts, "Addictive." And one I hope I'm wrong about, Wayne Wonder, "No Letting Go."

And not that I'd want them on any mix, but I don't expect Cassidy or Eamon or Frankee to ever show up on the charts again.

― Joseph McCombs, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

what?, you don't see frankee as a possible lennon in the wings?

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I love Eamon.

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

And he already has a second hit!

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

AFROMAN - BECAUSE I GOT HIGH

― jake b. (cerybut), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 07:14 (twenty-one years ago)

You ignoring the laugh-along riot that was "Crazy Rap" Jake?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

The first in an occasional series: actual one hit wonders of the 00s (UK edition). The following acts have all had a top ten single this decade, and no top 40s before or after. First off: the year 2000.

(And, amazingly, Spiller, Wookie, and Tweet all had follow-up singles. A penny to anyone who can name all three)

5 Des Mitchell (Welcome) To The Dance Jan 2000
3 Scanty Sandwich Because Of You Jan 2000
8 Nu Generation In Your Arms (Rescue Me) Jan 2000

9 Kandi Don't Think I'm Not Nov 2000

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 08:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't remember Des Mitchell, Nu Generation, Rebecca Wheatley, Rank 1, Vanessa Amorosi and Kandi at all!

Element 4 = blokes who had other hits in other guises, still counts tho i guess

well done Dom for PROPER ONE HIT WONDERS (most of them released other singles but none anywhere near i.e. top 40 - as successful)

i liked the Sia track

what about M&S Salsoul Nugget 'If You Wanna Ride The Rhythm' or whatever it was, or was that 2001?

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not surprised Sweet Female Attitude didn't have a second hit. They were kind of a noughties Reynolds Girls.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Wasn't Scanty Sandwich another "name" dance guy working under a pseudonym? I forget.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Scanty Sandwich may have been Loop Da Loop ('Hazel' etc.) but i don't know where I'm getting that from. The most obvious suggestion was that it was Norman Cook but I think it was more likely a protege of his and not the Fatboy himself tho he may have been 'exec producer' or something.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

'Flowers' was a great track and so I am surprised it wasn't followed up with another hit. Reynolds Girls?! tut tut Mr H

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Vanessa Amorosi had three big singles in Australia (where she's from) but was last seen helping build fences. Ha. I think she had some hits in France...? Still, one-hit wonder everywhere else, rightfully she'd have had NONE.

The Spiller follow-up "Cry Baby" was bloody crap, no wonder it stiffed.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought it was ok but...you're right

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

sweet like chocolate
spooks- karma hotel
donnell jones- you know what's up-
m2m- don't say you love me

supermen lovers- starlight
puretone- addicted to bass
alizee- moi, lolita
shy fx- shake your body
Nore- Nothin

― may, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

To blur the lines somewhat, Rank 1 had a second UK hit with their remix of Cygnus X - Superstring.

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Dream - "He Loves Me Not" (I think that's the band/song)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

did Junior Senior have only one hit?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Two, "Rhythym Bandits" got to... 21?

May- wasn't "Ante Up" a bigger hit than "Cold As Ice"?
