I understand you didn’t want to include Gotye because you forgot to make a tier above S but that doesn’t make it hurt any less
I guess she doesn’t know him anymore🤷
@@wuspatterwukd9104 just I person that has been forgotten….
@@etonTEC now he's just somebody that must've slipped her mind...
Now he’s just somebody that she used to know stuff about
She forgor
One-hit wonders are really important for music. They make the mainstream way more diverse then would be without them.
I never considered that. Thank you for fertilizing my brain.
One of my favorite artists is Gotye, whose career ended because of being boxed as a one-hit wonder, which he is. However, his music is fucking amazing, he's a genius, and he literally won the best alternative album Grammy at same year as Somebody That I Used To Know, well deserved, AGAINST Björk and Fiona Apple. But I guess it just boils down to the good old stereotype of mainstream vs alternative.
!!!! Such a good song and artist
gotye being known as just the somebody that i used to know dude is such a fucking blood boiling thing he's genuinely one of my favorite artists ever and i feel like he deserves so much more
I mean he never has said his career has ended or that gotta has ended
@@r3n837 It's weird because that song is so damn good you would think people would want to listen to the rest of his stuff too
that silento thumbnail hooked me up so fast
You weren’t the only one
we all seen THAT photo😭
"that song truly goes down in history as one of the songs ever" wow words have never been spoke
putting silento (violent cousin murderer) next to Bryce Hall (shitty influencer man) just makes complete sense for some reason
kreayshawn had a kid and quit drugs and now does some antiracist activism!!! we love her growth. also her websites look dope
she also has some more recent music (not as good but I'm listen because I'm a huge fan of hers hehe)!
She’s also a dj now and Pretty active in the rave scene
Omg I love kreay!!
fun fact chumbawamba was actually a left wing commune/collective. One of their albums is called anarchy. Also one of their songs pre tubthumping was about hating emi records and then they got signed to emi as soon as they got their hit bc nobody looked at their discography
i got into them because of mic the snare’s video on them. they genuinely have a great and diverse discography.
I did not need to know Bryce Hall has a mustache. my life is in shambles now.
I hope Echosmith is here! Their music is deserving of so much more attention. They made "Cool Kids," if you remember
If you are interested in one hit wonders I would highly recommend Todd in the Shadows because he doesn't just review the obvious one hit wonders but ones that are fairly interesting for American people because I knew a few of the One Hit Wonders because they are popular outside of the US, for eg Midnight Oil only had one hit in the US called Beds are Burning, but in Australia they are very popular. With almost every album in the 80's having a hit song chart in the Australian music charts. And then another really interesting one is The Crazy World of Arthur Brown(basically a pioneer of prog rock and shock rock and he is a big influence on rock overall, but his music is certainly definitely more on the experimental side and he has even released an album this year and since the late 60's he has been making his own music). Also a few other notable one hit wonders for the US are Yello(a Swiss electro industrial ambient trio), and Bobby McFerrin(an actual Jazz musician beyond his one hit) and those are just the ones his One Hit Wonderland series introduced me to as a whole but that's mainly because I like the weird artists that only had One Hit because the reason they didn't care about their hit that much and just created their music as normal even after the hit.
These two could have an interesting collab video
@@Thrak94 I don't think Todd has done a collaborative video in years. Lindsay Ellis is the last I remember, and she is no longer on UA-cam.
Hehehe my high school actually had a silento concert and then a year later we see he murdered his cousin and we were all like “oh ok”
I can't believe I finally found someone who also hates Cheerleader
I love that you ranked Mr Scruff so highly, he's truly loved here in the UK and he's old school but definitely has some great tunes under his belt that all you youngins should check out!
i think another recent one-hit wonder is BENEE, the girl who did SUPALONELY. that song was literally an early quarantine anthem, i hope she’s doing well.
BENEE's deep tracks are all super good though! And she just released a certified bop with easylife a couple weeks ago, so I'd say she's doing just fine rn. Seems like she's having a good amount of success and staying true to her own artistic vision
@@cherryoghaze Find an Island is fire
@@thelambsauce7223 literally!
She has the song Glitter to
over in NZ pretty much all of her tracks make it to the radio, idk what her success is overseas
bro the deep fried picture of addison with the heavy breathing my heart literally stopped
I remember watching a video years ago of one hit wonders, and the Neighborhood was on there with Sweater Weather. I swear though, that song was just their major start, cause all of their music, at least since then, is amazing. I've also had other people in my life love their music too, and Sweater Weather was never even brought up.
*handshake*
the nbhd has way more than one hit! that’s crazy. like daddy issues, afraid, r.i.p. to my youth, etc. those are all pretty popular songs iirc
The Fred "My Babysitter's a Vampire" erasure is wrong and you know it 😭
Chumbawumba are actually anarchists, look up their song "Passenger List for Doomed Flight #1721"
So Duck Sauce as a duo are a one hit wonder, but the two members had some solo hits too, being A-Trak and Armand Van Helden. A-Trak did the super popular remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Heads Will Roll, and Armand Van Helden did the classic song U Don't Even Know Me. One hit wonder as a duo, but a few more hits between them.
And I mean a-trak has fools gold so he technically has multiple hits from their various artists if you count that
if you're interested in one hit wonders you should check out the UA-cam channel Todd In The Shadows. He has a series going in depth on one hit wonders and their complete careers, it's fantastic content
Kreayshawn's debut album actually has some songs that are borderline hyperpop!!
Look up; Go hard, BFF and K234YSON1XZ
jacob sartorius currently looks a half-eaten emo pop tart that gained sentience due to a nuclear apocalypse
One day I was exploring the catalogue of Boney M and I realised that Duck Sauce had sampled their song "Barbara Streisand". The ooOoOOoOo actually makes so much sense when you realise it's a disco song. Highly recommend.
Dude Boney M with Rasputin. Such a great one-hit wonder
boney m isnt a one hit wonder wtf are you talking about@@LovecraftianGodsKiller
CEO of My Ass is not a one hit wonder, but it should definitely be in S Tier
Kalimba goes so hard I will embrace the tuna always 🐟
NO TAINTED LOVE?! *deep breath* it’s okay. Its fine. Maybe you’re just a woke individual who knows Soft Cell weren’t OHWs outside of the the US… But still… They’re the best >:[
Your hair looks so good!!!
This was really fun remembering all those songs! I'm not sure if you've already covered this before but the song Somebody I Used to Know is one of my favorite one hit wonders! My old science teacher used to sing it on his guitar all the time instead of teaching class😂 it was great
I thank you for acknowledging that AWOLNATION is not a one hit wonder. They are one of my favorite bands ever.
how in the fuck is AWOLNATION not a one hit wonder but the fucking STONES are? this shit is so subjective lmfao
@@thelambsauce7223 I think she was being sarcastic about that. I wouldn't doubt the sexism and racism stuff though. As good as they are musicly I would bet at least one of them has done something like that
KREAYSHAWN IS NOT A ONEHIT WINDER- I'M A HUGE FAN. Gucci Gucci, Go Hard, Missing Kitty- all of them ICONIC!
To the intro: SAMEEEE that’s why I was so confused when I realized vanilla ice has a full album
I'm a massive Kreayshawn fan she still puts out bangers she's awesome I listen to Gucci gucci like everyday and bumpin bumpin is so hard and she filmed some of the OG Lil B videos
Also Go Hard was a huge hit in England I heard it on the radio when i was super young only discovered her properly when I got into Black Kray and soundcloud like 2016
I still listen to go hard on my way to work 😭✌
My new favorite one hit wonder is “Chin Up High” by Ame Bibabi. It’s iconic and honestly such a bop
I love how casual your videos are while also being so perceptive.
OHMYGOD! I've been searching for that kalamba song for YEARS! Me and my friends used to play it on our classrooms smart computer everytime we didn't have a teacher. It was so chaotic and fun!
I consider Natasha Beddingfield and the Ting Tings as one hit wonders even though they both had 2 popular songs lol
My go to Just Dance song was “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin
Rolling Stones are not one hit wonder they have like a cult following among rock fans
they are more like 40 hit wonders plus being considered one of most influential bands of all time
"but... he kinda... killed his cousin" yeah, valid
I'm happy to know that you loved that Kalimba song too, we used to play that on the school computers all the time and jam to it lol
I hate when people call people with a bigger song than others one hit wonders. Like a great example is Aminé, he has his major hit Caroline but yet he still has platinum and gold plaques for Reel It In, Spice Girl, Red Mercedes, etc. but Caroline is just his most popular song because that’s what blew him up. And people STILL call him a one hit wonder. BRO IS LIKE 15 TIMES PLATINUM
Silento was saying "Silento, Silento" to his cousin.
oh my word kalimba is a classic
Nice video! 😅😂
Other examples could include:
- Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody I Used To Know";
- Milky Chance's "Stolen Dance";
- The Lumineers' "Hey Ho";
- The "I'm Mad At Disney" singer (I don't know much about her, though);
- Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (still a legendary song);
- Kyle's "iSpy";
- The Rasmus' "In The Shadows" (although they made their comeback at the latest Eurovision).
Rick Astley had more hits. One big meme song everyone remembers does not a One Hit Wonder make.
@@witchflowers6942 True: I didn't remember other major songs by him at that moment... 😅
The Lumineers have a song that's even more famous than Hey Ho tho, Ophelia
@@AliceFlynn oh yeah i remember that one
Kyle has another hit (don't wanna fall in love)
not sure if that takes him out of 1 hit wonder territory but its good to note
holy shit my brother used Kalimba in his short comedy videos he forced me to be in in the early 2010s
Amazing video
that kalimba reminiscence brought me so many memories back
Rolling Stones had a LOT more than one hit?
Beast of Burden
Paint It Black
Satisfaction
Can’t You Hear Me Knocking
Wild Horses
Start Me Up
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Sympathy for the Devil
Gimmie Shelter
and these are all still played regularly to this day and have been featured in MANY movies and video games.
i don't think you get this channel my dude
fun fact: my dad got his leg broken during that “i get knocked down, but i get up again” song. they were opening for a band he was seeing and he was on the edge of a mosh
I remember that song coming pre-loaded on my mom's desktop. I would go on her computer just to play that song. I think I used it in some school video projects
i saw walk the moon live one time and they were really great, i love a lot of their music & wish shut up and dance didn’t make people want to vomit when they hear the band name
You should do a "ranking my followers/subscribers favorite songs"
Dev Lemons da 🐐 no 🧢
prodbyzaqq!!!
I agree about Walk the Moon not quite being a 1 hit wonder. I'm so over Shut up and Dance, but I adore Aquaman. I'm a very casual listener, but I enjoy every song of theirs i hear on the radio.
Also Colorado by Milky Chance is awesome! I saw them on that Wiki list
YES THE CLIMB BY HOM IS SO HILARIOUS
Kim makes a song about loosing her diamond earring in the ocean
Love this channel! Found you from the Hivemind video. However, you are VERY wrong abt Chumbawumba being frat boys. They were big protesters. I recommend checking out Mic the Snare's Deep Discog Dive about them.
6:02 bruh wtf I literally freaked out. I was wearing my earphones and was on full volume 😭
Mr Scruff Ninja Tuna Kalimba :D
Wasn’t this song used on Webkinz somewhere?
Hi, I love your content! Just a heads up that your voice is very quiet+the music is very loud, which makes it tricky to adjust my volume to the right level. Other than that, brilliant video
The nostalgia I felt when you played Kolimba
I think our music tastes are the exact opposites of each other lol. Good video tho!
I'm beginning you to get an ad blocker lol
Love the videos though
A song being popular on Vine or TikTok, or being in a movie once, doesn't make it a "hit". Whether something was a "hit" is defined by its Billboard chart position. A lot of these songs were by definition never hits.
Kalimba is the goat song... It was the only song that was allowed on our school computers cause it was pre-loaded and it was THE CHOICE when making videos.
make a preloaded song tierlist with the U2 songs and kalimba
I do remember the song on my Windows computer mr scruff- kalimba. I think deleted it cuz I didn't know if it was an actual song 🤣 18:07
I am so glad you hate cheerleader, same. He has another awful song called Hula-hoop. I just can’t stand his enunciation “OhH I ThINK I FOund myself A cheerLEADurrr”
Bryce halls neck is so long lmao
Very happy to see respect for Mr. Scruff
Love walk the moon! They are so much better than “shut up and dance”
i really liked the alesha dixon "dont he wash up dont he clean up no he never cleans up" so relatable tbh. to me it's a one hit wonder
I love Shut up and Dance 😂
honestly Mr. Scruff is pretty all around great
Woah you unearthed the ninja tuna memories
you don't understand how long i've been searching for kalimba by Mr. scruff. I could not for the life of me remember his name
the windows 7 classic ninja tuna
Lev Demons
kalimba was such a bop!! years later i sampled the drums n made a bop! check out “music takes me up” by mr scruff its amazing
this is a music channel for people that dont listen to music
i remember kreayshawn from her missing kitty song that blew up on tiktok in like 2020 😭
of monsters and men.
sadly also only known for that one song (hey)
ok i definitely had the same thiccity blue dell laptop… and of course it was preloaded with ninja tuna
Dev Lemons
I LOVE MR SCRUFF
Dev please get an adblocker, it literally makes me want to aacddsffsfaadffff
21:18 the brown noise 💀
J’kwon is the first guy that pops in my head when you say one hit wonder
how could you forget abt the somebody that i used to know guy.......
damn no way dev u listen to deep layered brown noise (12 hours) too? amazing taste
Okay but seriously saying the rolling stones only has one hit is just so stupid. Have you never listened to them? Its okay if you havent listened to rock much in particular but rolling stones has many hits and not to forget they are a huge point in the early rock days
didnt know lemon was a just dance player lets gooooooooooooo
mr scruff is one of my favorites
lets do it
dev is my new favorite person
Sympathy for the Devil, Satisfaction, Gimme Shelter... the Stones don't belong on this list. But if they did, Brown Sugar earned them that spot on F tier
the thumbnail makes it look like silento’s one hit wonder was him murdering his cousin…
Y’all remember “Too Close” By Alex Clare from that Microsoft commercial.
6:00 scared the shit out of me
dunno why but you seem like the kinda person to start editing your video but forget that you’re editing and just watch the entire recording of yourself while cheering your past self on
