#onehitwonder

Bands getting called a #OneHitWonder always makes me sad. I think because growing up it felt like it was always used in a negative way instead of like, just a fact of the music charts.

ANYWAYS. For #TuneTuesday my pick is "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. "The Age of Plastic" is one of my (many) favorite albums! If you've never listened to it outside of their one hit, I highly recommend it!

#TuneTuesday #OneHitWonder

This is possibly the most unlikely one hit wonder to top the charts - an eight minute minimalist piece from New York performance artist Laurie Anderson who was reportedly taken by surprise by the unexpected success of this single and went on to sign an eight album deal afterwards.

#OneHitWonder is the theme for today's #TuneTuesday

Why were one hit wonders so much more prevalent in the 80s and 90s, or have I just been hiding my head under a rock?

I’m posting this out of nostalgia, not because it was a great song. Looking back, wondering how this song got so popular. Zero points for song name originality.

Way too many choices.

"Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" is a 1972 song by American pop rock band Looking Glass. It's the bit of bluesy voice and story that gets me singing along every time I hear this song.

And an iconic one hit wonder in the US, Rappers Delight by Sugar Hill Gang.
