@@SaddomyHusseinthats the unique sound part of it. Like when I hear the first note of a song and know who it is because of the sound. When someone takes that, they themselves aren't unique but the sound is
I'm not Australian but Gotye shouldn't count as a one hit wonder. He just didn't want fame. He could've easily made plenty of hit songs if he wanted to
@@DeadpoolDrivesFH Yeah I think he's a drummer in a band which honestly even if the band gets famous he's still fine from frame cause normally it's the guitar player and singer that get all the game while the others still get the pay check
True but the nature of blowing up is inherently "too fast" that's why it's called blow up because it's quick like an explosion. Blowing up almost always goes wrong when the artists are as young as most that blow up are.
@@DISLautomatic I mean more along the lines of ur first song taking off. I feel that that’s one of the worst things that can happen. Usually because they don’t have the fan base to fall back on and end of being a one hit wonder 😭
@@Tobzzzz_facts, cuz imo an artist that’s been grinding for a min releasing song after song just for one to blow up gets them deep into the music industry because fans aren’t waiting for new hits, they listen to the older music they made and then they wait for a new album, EP etc.
Gotye is such throwback, I remember growing up and my dance teacher played his making mirrors album for warm ups for every class. I became super attached to the album as a whole, it’s such a time capsule of 2010s pop. It’s worth a listen, back when alt pop was worth listening to (I’m looking at you ajr)
@@ClipsCrazy__ would a song from 1996 played in 2010 be considered a throwback in your opinion? it's the same amount of time between 96' and 10' and 10' and 24'.
Im pretty sure the gotten situation was someone.. maybe him? Cut a magical mix to that song. He was not and is not a great artist or singer but u dont have to be to record and incredible song. But you do have to be to to do it over and over
moral of the story, if you are a young artist who is just starting to see success, avoid record labels entirely. if you can't then whatever you do, DO NOT sign to a label owned or founded by another artist. the music industry only cares about money and whoever can make them more of it. once labels discover you are no longer a cash cow, you're left to the wolves. even more so if it's an independent label or owned by another artist. they started the label in the first place for money, and have a history of signing young, impressionable, and gullible talents who don't have a lick of understanding of how business works so they can squeeze every last adlib out of them. another example of someone like desiigner was lil bibby. got signed to a label after being independently successful for years, only to not be able to release any new music because of the label. last i heard from him he was apparently juice wrld's promoter? i just remember him constantly making tweets about new juice music for years even after his death. shit's sad
@@MortalKombateditz people say Big Sean was good music’s biggest fumble but honestly i think its Desiigner. Big Sean was still overly successful regardless of his label situation. Desiigner got railed by his label and everything fell apart afterwards.
It's a completely different genre, but you might like the album Superbloom by Ashton Irwin. In that he has songs about mental health, body dysmorphia, growing up fatherless, and others
I've been a hardcore X fan for years. There was actually a video where he was on the phone with X having that conversation but I can't seem to find it anymore. I had a buzz and dm'd Rob Stone showing love about his maturity and bro must have had a buzz too because we ended up chopping it up for a while. He seems like a really down to earth dude. Maybe have been overstepping my involvement as a fan but nothing but love for him ❤️
Today, one hit wonders are on tiktok and other similar platforms. people blindly get gaslit into thinking they like a certain song or artist and that song blows up for no reason.
If you wanna hear Gotye at his best, check out the album ‘Like Drawing Blood’. Heart’s a mess was the main single but the whole record is really well put together and incredibly underrated
Yo matty, I think kid ink shoulda made this list (or the next one). He basically put out several hits (I believe 6??), stayed out the way and never got into any beef, went independent, got his bag and dipped to support his family. His fall off needs to be studied bc I think its kinda interesting lol
Another artist I think you should dive into on the next video is Roscoe Dash, the dance group The Rangers, and Taio Cruz who came out with the song dynamite
Every video one of y'all posts on Desiigner we get a ton of comments on his mental health and the airplane incident. It just sucks that's all he's gonna be remembered for, Bed-Stuy don't play
I really enjoy the podcast One Hit Thunder because they usually cover what lead up to a bands “one hit” and what they got up to afterward, it’s often really interesting! Lots of “one hits” had success in less conventional ways or in different markets (usually one hits are centred on the US music charts) and some went on to lead really unexpected lives. Interested to see which ones are covered here!
I think Designer's Panda only did so well because people thought it was Future. That's just what I think though. I remember seeing something about 50 Cent talking about Designer and he was thinking about signing him since 50 liked Panda. 50 asked him what other songs he had, and Panda was basically just like "uhh.. what other songs?" And 50 was like "NEXT!" 😂
Heard something to do with Gotye ditching ads despite the revenue not long ago. I like how, as long as he could eventually end buying a new van to replace one that was stolen, the dude seemed pretty chill 'bout it haha.
Celine Dion said something along the lines of having one song that fans want to hear from you the rest of your life is a blessing. It could be none. So one hit can carry you for the rest of your life if you manage it correctly.
I’ll never forget when Gotye and the lady he sang with (I forgot her name) won that Grammy, they both were in awe of Prince being there and still gave him shine in their moment.
To this day, Making Mirrors is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a shame Somebody That I Used to Know is one of the only Gotye songs most people know of, that album has so many beautifully haunting, unique songs
X really was different. He was going to shift music as a whole. His fans were rap fans, rock fans, emo people, metal people, trap fans, acoustic music fans.. everything. He was going to transcend genres and make things about the music. Rest in peace.
Apparently gotye worked for my highschool well before I attended. A teacher had told me, I looked it up immediately and nothing directly came up except that he did say he did work in a highschools library which was exactly what the teacher had told me and turns out he lived in the same suburb of the school, Cheltenham, Melbourne Australia.
Designer was sabotaged by Kanyes split personalities. Had he been signed to another label, he would still be relevant. he was quite a humble kid, especiallly his authenthic reaction to Kanyes call to sign him.
Gotye said something about lyrical. With that being said. Can you do “song that are lyrical, that are not rap” I guess I never thought of other genres being lyrical… like rap. Most genres lean towards storytelling from my experience
You should do a video on artists that people think are one hit wonders like Denzel Curry with his song Ultimate I remember when that song came out I was just getting into rap, I loved it like everyone else but I didn’t know who wrote it, a year to a couple years later I heard other Denzel Curry songs and liking them so I checked him out and realized that he wrote that song, blew my mind and I bet there are other people who didn’t know he wrote it or don’t know any of his other work besides that song or Clout Cobain
To be honest many of your favorite rappers and artists are industry plants they want to be known and famous so bad they lost their self. And the rest of them rush into the music industry fast and they wanted the money so bad without thinking about the future. The many problems with the music industry is everyone is copying each other sounds and styles they don’t want to take their time to craft their music and be original
This is the age of “social” media music. It can be good and bad. On one hand, errbody and their momma trying to make a hit, while on the other hand it does separate some flash in the pan artists looking for their 15 minutes, from the ones that actually have some talent and longevity. Not just some weirdo a cover or tight flow with some “sample” playing in the background.
1:40 panda was popular because of its unique sound? I didn’t know ripping off future’s entire style is considered “unique” lmao the only reason that song blew up is because he stole someone else’s sound…
@@Resid3ntt it means they are creatively bankrupt and lack originality. I get it tho, people are going to sound similar and that’s whatever but designer didn’t blow up until he ripped off future.
0:59 - I was alive in 2016. Never once heard of this rapper or "Panda." I looked it up to see if I recognized it. Nope. Now, I'm not sure if I was alive in 2016.
U definitely an outlier, I was 9 in 2016 we was dancing to this at birthday parties and at school. Maybe you didn’t have musically (now known as TikTok) this was one of the first songs to blow up using that type of algorithm.
Without yet watching the video and personally i might take on this project. How many one hit wonders also shared the distinction of being a closing track on an album? I gotta assume Closing Time by Semisonic.
Gotye is the definition of a passion artist, did it only for the love of the craft...
yes
Imagine prince awarding you with a Grammy after saying he loves your song. ID RETIRE TOO TF there’s nothing left to achieve after that 💀
Who is this about ? Genuinely interested
@@arlandovalrez5617 he said this about gotye while awarding him the Grammy for song of the year
Agreed 👌🏾😂
Maybe Paul Mcartney or Freddie Mercery too, but still agree.
huh how is that bad
I was surprised by sheck wes, dude a freaking model and a hooper too good stuff haha
He signed to Travis Scott who don’t let him drop
@@lospabsenthe’s dropped more than just a one hit wonder he’s been a good feature artist for a while
I'm ngl Prince saying he likes my song is a bigger honor than that award.
The reason Panda blew up was because it sounded like a future release on first listen.
Plus Shaq used it for his entrance at
WrestleMania.
I was hoping someone commented this. When he said “unique sound” I was like bro, everyone thought it was a future song when it dropped
So true , I used to type in “panda by future” to find it when it first blew up
@@SaddomyHusseinthats the unique sound part of it. Like when I hear the first note of a song and know who it is because of the sound. When someone takes that, they themselves aren't unique but the sound is
Yup I thought it was him at frist tio
Australians boutta get in arms about Gotye in the thumbnail lol
Australia doesn't exist, idiot.
I'm not Australian but Gotye shouldn't count as a one hit wonder. He just didn't want fame. He could've easily made plenty of hit songs if he wanted to
He still makes music in a band I think
I love that song ❤

Gotye is in a band called The Basics, he’s been in it LONG before he was even Gotye. 2001 ~ 2002.
1:45 isn’t true. Old town road is the only song to be number 1 for more than 16 weeks and Panda was number 1 for one week.
NLU w 23
19*
X talking bout people finally catching him lacking would have no idea how true that shit would really become later down the line.
It’s hard to make another big hit after already having a hit
Celine Dion said something along the lines of having one song that fans want to hear from you the rest of your life is a blessing. It could be none.
So one hit can carry you for the rest of your life if you manage it correctly.
On the next one hit wonders video you should have the song Cashing Out by cash out because that dude has literally nothing else LOL
I ain't gonna lie. I was worried that that was Vince Staples in the thumbnail.
If only, there were multiple hit wonders.
Just watched 3 of your videos and just subscribed
