 In the USA, she's a two-hit wonder: "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down." "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

In the USA, she's a two-hit wonder: "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down." I was gonna say... a lot of people had other hits just not as mega. But her second hit gets spun on radio to this day. | |

Didn't EMF also have a hit with "Lies"? Yeah, but it was greatly overshadowed by "Unbelievable" (#18 vs. #1 on the Hot 100) and almost forgotten. Very similar to a-ha being a one-hit wonder here despite "The Sun Always Shines on TV" reaching the top 20. IMO, an artist with a top-5 hit would need at least another top-10 hit to avoid being considered a one-hit wonder. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Looking over the songs mentioned so far, I have to say they are mostly songs I really, really don't like. Some I absolutely despise.  I guess 90s pop hits are just not my thing. The tracks by The Cardigans, Divinyls, Mazzy Star, Len, Jane Child and Imani Coppola were cool. | |

I'm going to ignore your über-strict definition and just post songs I like from the 90s that were much more popular than anything else the respective artists ever did. First one: Brimful Of Asha - Cornershop | |

I do like the Jordan Knight track though. I still have the cassette single. | |

 That shit is fantastic in every way! Way better than any NKOTB song. BTW, I love "Sour Times." See, we can agree! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
