tom learn the definition of ONE HIT wonders please.

Rachel Stevens: Some Girls, Negotiate With Love.
Bloodhound Gang: F.U.C.K.
Sugababes...first generation, yes, but that's like saying Girls Aloud were a one-hit wonder in Christmas 2003.

1) I said it with Rachel but she never made an impact after that song and faded away to reality TV
2) Bloodhound Gang never had any other hits
3) Its different because it was a different line up. They got a new member, new record label and a new sound. They'd have been a one hit wonder had they split up when the ginger one left. Your comparison is daft. To be pedantic it was Christmas 2002.

Eww. I remember this one.. i used to like it but i does my head in now!

Heres another one

yet somehow they managed to trick the public into thinking they were actually a big band once ... and then went on tour to perform their hit plus a few covers

Niamh. · 10-03-2010, 02:12 PM

Don't know how many of you will remember this one :

The Bloodhound Gang are not one hit wonders. Having one hit does not make one a one hit wonder. BHG are not a hit band. They don't set their sights on the charts. In their own field they have had huge success. Most people know who they are. That's not a one hit wonder band.

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.

Shaun · 10-03-2010, 10:09 PM

Have you even considered the possibility that some musicians are artists rather than glory-hunters?

Most people want to do the best they can and go as far as they can. I think every artist has the intention of making it in the mainstream. Some may be happy either way but I really don't think any low key artist can say hand on heart that they don't want to be successful.

Shaun · 10-03-2010, 10:16 PM

Yeah but recognition is a pleasant after-thought. Most musicians are making music because they enjoy performing, not because they want success.

Oh come on.

Every artist wants to do great but not all of them aim for the charts. It's complete bull to say that they do. Take a look at some of the Bloodhound Gang's back catalogue. Do you honestly think singles like I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks were designed with heavy mainstream radioplay in mind?

They have sold six million albums. Six million. Your not a one hit wonder just because you have only had one hit single. It's an absurd notion. It takes a combination of different things to be a one hit wonder.

Let's take Trent Reznor as an example. One of the finest artists of his generation who is very successful at what he does.

Do you think he is aiming for the charts?

Not a chance.

and a lot of musicians want to go as big as they can possibly get. Why play for a pub with 100 people when you can play to over 10,000 at Wembley?

6 million may not be a flop ... but your definition is stupid. Using your definition Steve Brookstein wasn't a one hit wonder.

Shaun · 10-03-2010, 10:33 PM

Steve Brookstein wasn't a musician so that's a pointless comparison anyway.

He was an artist who fell out with Simon because he couldn't write and release his album, instead it had to be covers.

Most artists make a living out of performing, and money comes hand in hand with success.

I'm loving all your comments here, considering I have not actually given you a definition yet, only what a one hit wonder isin't.

Seriously, what a shocking comparison. Ditto for the Wembley/Pub stuff.

Not quiet sure what to do with you my man.
