All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head. Joined: 13 August 2006 Posts: 4,324 User: 1,109	I think for me it was Booty Luv with Don't Mess With My Man, I don't normally like dance music so it was a rareity that it made it into the chart

Though I've not heard anything from TVOTR, Wolfman or Stefy as singles since so they have no choice but to be one hit wonders!

electric butterflies Pronouns: he/him Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 49,113 User: 70	Ignorning silly little featured artists like T.I and Jay-Z, these are my only one hit wonders (i.e a number one, but no other Top 10 hit). As a matter of fact, none of these have had ANY hit oher than their #1 Kelis ft. Cee-Lo – Lil’ Star Groove Armada ft. ~~Mutya Buena~~ – Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control) Plain White T’s – Hey There Delilah Aly & AJ – The Potential Break-up Song Janet Jackson - Feedback Mariah Carey - Touch My Body Kelly Rowland - Work

salty foods parch the human Pronouns: he/him Joined: 24 October 2007 Posts: 26,020 User: 4,631	I'm only on chart #21 so it's probably easier to list the people that aren't one hit wonders. Will probably remain 1 hit wonders: Maria Haukaas Storeng – Hold On Be Strong [Norway ESC] Tereza Kerndlová – Have Some Fun [Czech ESC] Yael Naïm – New Soul Kalomoira – Secret Combination [Greece ESC] H “two” O – What’s It Gonna Be The Pogues – Fairytale of New York Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua – What a Wonderful World Kate Bush – Lyra Plain White T's – Hey There Delilah Spice Girls – Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) (split up) Gisela – Casanova [Andorra ESC] Destiny’s Child – 8 Days of Christmas (unless they get back together) Backstreet Boys – Inconsolable (chart fillers for my first week ) No Angels – Disappear [Germany ESC] Groove Armada – Out of Control (Song 4 Mutya) (I only charted this for Mutya) Wizzard – I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Atomic Kitten – Anyone Who Had A Heart (was only a brief return) Bloc Party – Flux My Chemical Romance – Teenagers The Maccabees – Toothpaste Kisses Michelle Gayle – Woo (U Make Me) Simple Plan – When I’m Gone One Night Only – Just For Tonight Freemasons – Uninvited (unless their remixes count, meaning they shouldn't be here) 50 Cent – Ayo Technology Lupe Fiasco – Superstar *If they release something else they could* chart again: Foals – Cassius Alphabeat – Fascination Jack Johnson – If I Had Eyes Booty Luv – Some Kinda Rush Nickelback – Rockstar Goldfrapp – A&E Jordin Sparks – Tattoo Panic At The Disco – Nine In The Afternoon Nicole Scherzinger – Baby Love Dannii Minogue vs Jason Nevins – Touch Me Like That Ashlee Simpson – Outta My Head The Feeling – I Thought It Was Over Chris Brown – With You The Ting Tings – Great DJ Cascada – What Hurts The Most Timbaland – Scream Scouting For Girls – Elvis Ain’t Dead McFly – The Heart Never Lies Will almost certainly chart again if they have another release:** Duffy – Mercy Estelle – American Boy Melanie C – This Time Janet Jackson – Feedback Kelly Rowland – Work Mary J Blige – Just Fine Adele – Chasing Pavements Avril Lavigne – Hot So my one hit wonders that reached #1 are Adele, Kelly Rowland, Estelle and Janet Jackson. All of them are likely to have another hit though. I could say Mutya is one as well as 'B Boy Baby' is her only hit, but I counted her as part of the Groove Armada song since she sings it all.
