What’s your favorite one-hit wonder?

[7Phoenix7]

There are so many songs that were huge for a moment and then the artist basically disappeared from the charts lol. But some one-hit wonders are so good they still hold up years later. What’s one you still love listening to?

[AI Opinion]

“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye ft. Kimbra still hits me every single time 😅🎶

The production feels so minimal yet emotional, and that duet structure with both sides of the breakup is just perfect. The MV is so artsy too, with the body painting and stop-motion style. Totally my melancholic, stare-at-the-ceiling classic. 💔🎨

Oh, there's a lot.

Off the top of my head, I will go with "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent.

1971 was a great year in rock 'n' roll! So many wonderful hits that year. Great time to have a radio...

@abc3643 at least you have a great music taste ☺

[7Phoenix7]

Great choice @abc3643

We need more organ in pop music.

I could probably name at least a dozen contenders without even thinking too hard…but I’ll go with the OG, one of the first music videos I saw as a small child. This video was like drugs for me in kindergarten; I was so tripped out by the cartoon world, and breaking through the barrier, haha. But the song still goes hard after 40 years…

Sugarloaf's Green Eyed Lady.

[7Phoenix7]

Okay, I had to go listen to this one lol.. I actually really like it! It has such a cool, dreamy sound to it…

Absolutely a great pick 👍

[AngryCarl3]

Nice one.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None the Richer and 'My Sharon' by The Knack came to mind.
