Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

Some of these songs are freakin' awful.

Where is Milkshake? Probably my most hated song of all time.

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

Are you saying they should be One-Hit-Wonders of the decade? Bedingfield's "I gotta get through this" did better on the charts than "If you're not the one."

To be honest, I don't even like the song I Gotta Get Through This, so I didn't even remember that was his song. That was by bad there.

Howie Day isn't a bad choice, though. But Collide only got to #20, and the list calls for a Top 10 song.

This is true. I'm just throwing out other names that... not necessarily the list forgot, but singles that people on this site can relate to and perhaps agree with.

Kelis had "Caught Out There" in 2000 (which I thought was pretty cool) and she also had "Bossy" either two or three years ago..........

Yeah, I gotcha. I was just explaining why it wasn't on there.

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

not sure how some of these are listed as one hit wonders, some of those artist are still very successful.

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

Is all based on Billboards skewed chart. An artist can have longevity, but only get one big hit on the billboard chart they call them one hit wonders. Stupid, but thats how they figure it out. Thats why artists like Gnarls Barkley is there. Crazy hit number one, but nothing came close since then. Hence Billboards one hit wonder.

Highly stupid

Kelis was behind Bossy?

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

What about those guys that sang "Teenage Dirtbag"? They have any other hits? What about those guys that ran around in monkey suits talking about doing it like mammals?

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

I'm pretty sure "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus never got near the top of the Billboard 100.

And The Bloodhound Gang released only one CD since 1999 and it had nothing even close to being substantial in popularity in the U.S. However, their most popular tune -- "The Bad Touch" -- released in 2000 in the U.S., but it never got past #53 on the Billboard charts.

Pretty good list...I agree somewhat :P...now if only Lil Wayne was a 1 hit wonder..and well the rest of mainstream rap along with Terror Squad.

Wow, I forgot how truly horrible Lumidee's voice was. How did she get a major recording deal?

That's what I always wondered. I remember hearing that song for the first time on the radio and thinking it HAD to be a joke.

Dream!

I wanted to get with that blonde chick Melissa so bad back in the day.

Looks like Diddy hit it first... or at least it looks this way in their only other music video I ever saw of theirs.

Also, who the hell was that 'rapper' in the middle of the song. Totally weak.

And another thing... what in the hell is up with the Diddy dance solo at 3 minutes? No one wants to see that.

What happened in that video that makes you think Diddy hit it. Weren't they like a teen band or something, like 15-17 years old? Still, maybe you're right though, I wouldn't put it past Puffy, how old was Cassie when he found her?

Anyway, I remember that blond chick in Love Don't Cost a Thang'. That whole lil' clique of girls that she hung out with in that movie was tight, including her.

Re: One Hit Wonder of the Decade

The look from :08 - :10, the *** shake near Diddy's from about :17-:20.

Hell, the whole video it looks like she's trying to be on him.

So maybe he didn't get with her... but it looks like she wanted to get with him.

Also I think Dream is a wonderful case study in how to wreck a band.

Never put the fat/ugly one as your lead singer. It's a recipe for disaster.
