As we are midway through the 2010s, who would you classify as One/Two hit wonders in the UK singles chart so far?
The obvious ones to me are: Goyte (nothing since "Somebody I Used To Know") fun. (I know the whiney lead singer has done a couple of solo tracks with Pink and Eminem) Magic! (For some reason, I can not see a follow-up to "Rude") Sam Bailey (Yes she had a Yolanda Be Cool (Bar *that* song (made even more famous by "The Inbetweeners" first film), just a rumoured follow-up) Sam and the Womp (Nothing since the annoying "Bom Bom") Any more to add? |

I can see Nico & Vinz ending up as one-hit wonders, the follow-up track didn't do anything at all, not even supported by Radio 1. Sadly, Alyssa Reid is also a one-hit wonder  more due to her ridiculous label than anything else.

DAISY DARES YOU
 Flopped out of existence with her non charting second single Rosie after Number 1 Enemy made #13.

I think with Allysa Reid that was a blessing - that track was ruined.
Yeah I do agree about Nico and Vinz, I think as well they were lucky in one way as the track was released in the summer. Daisy Dares You - yes so much promise - wonder what she is doing five years on. On the dole perhaps? |

Military Wives - and they have a 100% record.
Psy is the other one - "Gangham Style" and "Gentleman" plus James Arthur - he probably sings at UKIP conventions after the homopohbia. Shame as his album was rather good. Another is Mr Probz - unless he pops ups again, can't see any long term career. This post has been edited by MyKindOfLove: 11th February 2015, 08:33 PM |

James Arthur is a three hit "wonder" tbf, or four if you count top 100 as a hit as I'm fairly sure the follow-up to Recovery went top 100 (Bray can hopefully shed some light here).

James Arthur has 5 top 100 'hits'. The first three singles obviously, the fourth single 'Get Down' which scraped #96 on the album release week but did nothing on its single release, and a #97 hit featuring on a cover of 'Wrecking Ball' by Alonzo Holt. The latter two are only remotely hits in a technical sense (not even that if you insist on the 'only top 75 counts' restriction).

Elyar Fox. We have "Do It All Over Again" peaking at #5, "A Billion Girls" almost making top 10, then nothing.
Probably couldn't take the mass hatred he has on Buzzjack

[quotes removed
 Well MAGIC! have a track Let Your Hair down in the schedule but idk if it'll chart  I also think I saw Yolanda in the schedule but same above. S&TW were supposed to be doing something with Zeppelin  N&V had their In Your Arms only enter the combined at 90 something, but I'm not sure they'll return any time soon I'm not sure if Owl City is a one hit wonder yet, since he's had 3 top 100 hits and 3 101-200 hits, as well as MDM with Chicane as Adam Young Also |

I would say Kate Nash. Yes, she had another 3 top 40 hits, and one stayed in the top 100 for 10 weeks, but none of them had success even close to Foundations.
