^^^ and this too:



#17 in 2014 and no more charted songs by them.

Their collaboration with Santana and Rob Thomas might be a proper hit if it were released in 2000s.

Ah yes, the song that sounds like an Imagine Dragons rip-off but is actually better than anything ID has ever released (unpopular opinion I'm sure!)

Yes I couldn't find anything either actually. I was intrigued by this and found out that the original Grace was actually called State of Grace first but they had to change the name themselves as that was also taken laugh.gif

Feels like an appropriate time for Radio 1 to do their One Hit Wonders day again. Didn't someone here make a playlist of everything they played?

Interesting that Hellogoodbye were left out and yet they included Kosheen who had another top 10 hit in 2003...

Ha that thread actually popped into my head when 2014 songs were mentioned in here as some of them already appeared in that show just a year later laugh.gif

At least they have a few others which have racked up quite decent streaming numbers, 'Anna Sun' and 'One Foot' both have well over 100m on Spotify!

Oh well I guess that has killed off my thread in here then. laugh.gif

I didn’t consider that it would even be the first time it has been done, but I wasn’t very thorough in my research when I started, plus to be clear this thread was not “list as many one hit wonders as you can think of” which some I think were doing, but rather I was inviting ones to “nominate a one hit wonder you enjoyed” from the last 23 years.
