Plenty of talented, respected artists have only broke in to the charts once.
A one hit wonder is a singer/band with one main hit and not much success elsewhere. I don't believe BHG don't set their sights on the charts- its human nature to want to be the best, if they were hitting number 1s all the time and winning every award going I doubt they'd be moaning.

Otherwise by your definition there are a lot of bands/artists who are recognised as a one hit wonder but actually aren't.
