I know of this song because it's from the film, Buddy's song. Starring Chesney Hawkes and Roger Daltry. I went to pictures to see this. Basically because I have always been a Buddy Holly fan.




Mmm, I don't think this qualifies.
But it's hard to tell.
I didn't want to risk it :suspect:

Then Slim will give them a 5.

Vanessa 23-08-2023 06:26 PM

Yeah I dont agree with some of the one hit wonder I read the same article, it also said Thin Lizzy the boys are back in town was a one hit wonder

He is not known for that song though....there is just one song he is known for

Alf 23-08-2023 06:28 PM

A hit is something that was successful. Probably made the top 5 or at least the top 10. Anything under reaching number 20 isn't a hit.

So if they only had one hit, then they're a one hit wonder. Like our Chesney.

A lot of the web stuff is wriiten from the american perspective, so its quite possible that an artist with a string of hits in the uk, was a one hit wonder there

Vanessa 23-08-2023 06:31 PM

It's hard to tell. A song may chart in different positions in different countries. And yes, I've checked.

Exactly my point. He had one hit making him a one hit wonder. The rest of his songs failed terribly.

If someone did choose Chesney then I apologise but I thought he was a good example to use to explain a one hit wonder, because people don't seem to be getting what one is. And if you did choose Chesney, then I did you a favour because you should change it anyway. You ain't doing well with that.

Vanessa 23-08-2023 06:46 PM

Has everyone submitted their songs?

Alf 23-08-2023 06:47 PM

I think to make it simpler for everyone. If they only had one top ten hit. Then that should count as a one hit wonder.

And if you want to change your song then you still have time.

Alf 23-08-2023 06:50 PM

The opposite to "hit" is "miss" Which means if it did well, it was a hit and if it didn't do do wel, it was a miss.

Yes, but the judges may not follow these criteria.

The judges will do whatever I say. They will bow to my superior knowledge of music. They know how to respect their superiors.

Ain't that right Slim and Neem?

Alf 23-08-2023 07:04 PM

I am right though. A hit is something that was popular and did well at the time. And if they didn't have another song that did well and was popular, then they were a one hit wonder.

Can we get Nickys opinion on what constitutes a one hit wonder? Maybe with the song he would have chosen and the scores he would give it?

Crimson Dynamo 23-08-2023 07:27 PM

The uproar when one judge discoveres that Alf's artist also had a number 42 in the Philippines and calls foul and gives him a 3.5 :omgno:

Meanwhile Ness gets all 10s for Shadduppayourface Rene and Renatta in more Italian rigging scandal

:oh:
