for some reason I think that the one hit wonders for the 1990's are really from 1990 - 1992.. then great music .. then 1998 - 1999

MOST AMAZING 90S ONE HIT WONDER. BREAKS MY HEART AND HEALS IT AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THEY GOT INTO SOME LEGAL TROUBLE OVER THIS SONG AND THEN POOF!!! I THINK THIS GUY IS DEAD TOO.

No, Richard Ashcroft is very much alive and still records and tours.

The Verve definitely counts as a 1-hit wonder here in the US. Still, I didn't post "Bitter Sweet Symphony" because I actually prefer the follow-up, which is the band's biggest hit in the UK:

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Billie Myers is a one hit wonder who actually has 2 great albums, with a third coming in August.

i liked this one more

Ya'll forgot this lil gem.

They may have had more hits, but this is the only on I recall. But You Know Buffy.




Wasn't this one HUGE?

"Sour Girl" is STP's highest charting single on the Hot 100 (#78, hardly a "hit"), but they were superstars on the Mainstream Rock charts (13 top-5 singles including 6 that hit #1: Plush, Vasoline, Interstate Love Song, Big Bang Baby, Lady Picture Show, and Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart).

I've always loved that New Radicals song.

^^ I loved tubthumping.

I was scared there for a sec until you listed their Rock charting singles

They would allow the video to be embedded.

There was also a One Hit Wonder that sung a song called When I'm With You, but I forgot his name. I think it was Tony, or Tone. Something with a T.

I know, right? I'm still shocked "Sour Girl" is their biggest pop hit, but I guess that makes sense.

You're thinking of Tony Terry. I wouldn't count someone like him personally. "With You" is his only pop hit (#14), but he has a few other R&B hits; "She's Fly," "Lovey Dovey," and "Everlasting Love" (my favorite) all hit the top 10 as well as "With You."

I use to bump this shit outta this song.

Paris9748430 said:

The Verve even reunited for some shows last year.

AlexdeParis said:

I forgot about Everlasting Love That was a really good song.

AlexdeParis said:

Hell yeah, if there ever was a ubiquitous STP track, I'd think it was "Interstate Love Song". That song was #1 on the rock charts for like three months! To this day I'm still tired of hearing it because it got overplayed so much in the 90s.

Hippychick - Soho

The first time I heard that song I was in the shower getting ready for school and the opening riff came on some pop radio station and I was like WTF are they playing the smiths for.....then i cried.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, when I think of STP, I think of "Interstate Love Song" and "Plush." I'd never get tired of the former, though; I think it's the best thing to ever come out of the grunge era.

lazycrockett said:

I love both songs!

Culture Beat were no one-hit wonders. They had a handfull of hits in the UK and they were pretty good too

These were my favourite.

They aren't one-hit wonders in the UK

I just know her from being the long-legged woman that Mick Jagger can't help rubbing himself against during each Stones show.


Mind, can't say I entirely blame him....
