One hit wonders that you can't dispute - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

a lot of artists that get the "one hit wonder" tag sometimes might have had a Greatest Hits worth of hit songs (for example, a lot of people seem to consider Rick Springfield one, even tho he had numerous hits). But who are some one hitters that truly were one hitters with no disputes?

First that comes to mind is M*A*R*R*S' Pump Up The Volume. It wasn't just their only hit, but it was also their only song period

they had a smaller top 40 hit with "I Don't Wanna Be A Hero" and a huge hit in the UK with "Turn Back The Clock". I believe they split after their first album

"Point Of No Return" was also a sizable hit for Nu Shooz, I actually preferred that one to "I Can't Wait". Here's the video for that http://youtube.com/watch?v=zuTPl8LE-P4
