Taking inspiration from Radio 1's show yesterday I decided I'd review the one hit wonders since 2000 in chronological order. I wont know too many from the earlier years so I'm hoping to make some great discoveries.

 

Rules: The main artists must only have one top 20 hit since 2000. If they have had any other top 20 hit as the main artists then they are disqualified.

 

If I've worked it out correctly 2000 has 60 One Hit Wonders starting with this one...

Eddie Amador - Rise

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-39-63 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: House Music (#37)

 

 

Commentary: I've certainly never heard this one before but it's sounding great on first listen. Only the first song in this countdown but already an early contender for the best discovery.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

Edited May 30, 20196 yr by LewisGT

Scanty Sandwich - Because Of You

 

Peak: 03

Chart Run: 3-7-16-23-35-47-71-72-(x)-94-85 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This one does sound dated. Quite pleasant but I'm not at all surprised I hadn't heard of it. Sounds like it's gonna be very forgettable.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

Edited March 3, 20169 yr by RobinJuanPersie

Des Mitchell - (Welcome) To The Dance

 

Peak: 05

Chart Run: 5-13-21-29-46-(x)-87-90 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: They've all sounded very similar so far. I guess 00's one hit wonders followed a pattern. Probably the worst out of the 3 so far but it's not bad.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

Edited April 7, 201510 yr by RobinJuanPersie

Nu Generation - In Your Arms (Rescue Me)

 

Peak: 08

Chart Run: 8-10-15-17-27-35-53-74-(x)-89-85 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Nowhere To Run 2000 (#66)

 

 

Commentary: First one I think I've heard before. I'm really enjoying this. Sounds like it would be great in the summer.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Andreas Johnson - Glorious

 

Peak: 04

Chart Run: 4-7-9-13-25-37-50-53-64-72-(x)-83-78 (12 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: The Games We Play (#41)

 

 

Commentary: First one that was played on Radio 1 yesterday. It got a lot of love on here yesterday but I don't find it brilliant. Still haven't heard a bad song yet during this countdown. The instrumental to this reminds me of James Bond and I'm not sure why.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

The Space Brothers - Shine 2000

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-36-46-74 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Shine (#23)

 

 

Commentary: Another dance hit. This is a bit faceless. Looks like it's a reworking of an earlier 90's song that reached 23 for them. It's growing on me as it goes along. Actually scrap what I said earlier I'm loving this.

Rating: 7.5/10

Q-Tip - Breathe And Stop

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run:12-18-28-37-50-64-57-(x)-86-92 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Vivrant Thing (#39)

 

 

Commentary: A DIFFERENT GENRE. :o The first unlucky contribution. Q-Tip has of course had mutiple top 20's as features and as a member of A Trible Called Quest but his only solo one is Breathe And Stop. Enjoying this as I have a soft spot for Q-Tip after his perfect contribution of Busta Rhymes' 'Thank You'.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

Rebecca Wheatley - Stay With Me (Baby)

 

Peak: 10

Chart Run: 10-20-32-47-54-59-58-77-(x)-84-73 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: DNC

 

 

Commentary: Never heard of the song or the artist. Wikipedia says she's an actress who had anoter top 10 as part of the Cast Of Casualty. This is not for me at all.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

CRW - I Feel Love

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run:15-32-48-71-(x)-84-79 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Lovin' (#49)

 

 

Commentary: This sounds like the sort of song that would have been massive in late 2012/early 2013. Not bad but I won't remember a thing about it tomorrow.

Chart Run:11-23-33-45-66-83 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Hey! Paradise (#69) :kink:

I Feel Love is great, I seem to recall it was the RAF Zone Remix which was a hit here:

I'd never heard it but while I was researching I found out it was voted the 279th best 'trance' hit. It was a good listen to be fair.

Thanks I didn't know that.

Just took a listen and I enjoyed that version more than the original. I think I may have to up its rating to a 7.5

I think the version Lewis linked is the same as this one, except longer.

Barbara Tucker - Stop Playing With My Mind

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-28-37-51-(x)-95-93-90-93 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Beautiful People (#23)

 

 

Commentary: This is brilliant. I felt the man was ruining it a bit at the start but it worked well in the end. So upbeat, the year 2000 so far sounds like a great year for one hit wonders.

N'n'G ft Kallaghan - Right Before My Eyes

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-17-25-33-48-74 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is weird. The guy and the girl do not work well together. It sounds like it should be two separate songs.

M2M - Don't Say You Love Me

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 16-24-30-38-42-61-(x)-98 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I kind of remember this from Pokemon: The First Movie but it's not a good song. The vocal is horrible but the nostalgia factor is keeping the rating at 6.

Ralph Fridge - Angel

 

Peak: 20

Chart Run: 20-40-55 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Paradise (#68)

 

 

Commentary: This is just as bad as I was expecting it to be. The 'send me an angel' parts are creepy then when it tries to become angelic it just sounds bad. :/ at all the verions of this being about 6 minutes long.
