Are there one-hit wonders any more?

[raccoon]

"A one-hit wonder is a person or act known mainly for only a single success. The term is most often used to describe music performers with only one hit single."

1. Few people/bands I haven't heard from apart from their initial Hits

Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
La Roux - Bulletproof
Florence + the Machine - Dog Days are Over
Willow Smith - Whip It (Not that this was any good or popular)
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
Gotye - Somebody I Used to Know

At least, that is all I can think up of for now.

Still, I don't really see the big deal for most of that, so I don't mind it too much.

6. Gotye and Willow qualify... the rest have had a number of charting songs out

7. They do?

Oh man, I must have been living under a rock.

9. Kings of Leon are more of a live than a studio band

Kind of like the Dead. When Touch of Grey came out, all of a sudden, all these people who only listen to hit radio "discoverd" the Dead.

2. In all honesty, I can't think of a single song that's come out since about 2004.

I think that was about when I quit listening to anything contemporary. Now I just stick pretty much w/ classic rock; some of the 90's stuff and some heavy metal is ok, but pretty much everything else sukks, IMHO.....

3. There's a helluva lot of no-hit wonders.

I wonder how the hell they got so famous.
