Default Biggest One Hit Wonder?
I did a quick search and was surprised not to find a similar thread.

Anyway, what do you think was the biggest one hit wonder? It can be a song, album, whatever.

I'll start off with (though I know you can guys can do better) LEN - Steal My Sunshine. I loved the song a lot more before I found out the band totally sucks.

AHHHHH FAK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

i tried so hard to avoid just seeing that track name while putting together Canadian clips for that other thread because just seeing that name is enough to get that insipid single stuck in my head for a solid month ARRRRRRRRRHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty sure Soulja Boy takes the cake as biggest one hit wonder though.

Is it bad that I enjoy that Len song? I remember when it first came out I was about 11 and my sister bought the single for my birthday...

As for other one hit wonders, I'd have to say The Knack - My Sharona.

Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club is probably the best pop song ever made.

No Rain by Blind Melon is also a big favorite.

Go listen to Soup and then tell me they are one hit wonders. God damn.

^it's true though, 'Toes Across the Floor' wasn't as big as 'No Rain' but still a great single and video. 'Tones of Home' and 'Galaxie' also charted well. they're also one of those bands where the studio albums do little to no justice to their live performances.

I had their Best Of compilation at one point. Deleted it after I decided that they were indeed one-hit-wonders. (Kept No Rain of course)

Guess it's just preference

Unfortunately, The Buggles. Video Killed The Radio Star is a hell of a song though.

I'm sure Journey had other hits but people only know them for one song.
