One-hit wonders in the UK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A One-hit wonder is a Top 40 phenomenon, the combination of artist and song that scores big in the music industry with one hit, but is unable to repeat the achievement with another Top 40 hit. The term can refer to the artist, the song, or both together.

It is important to note that the following list contains artists who reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart with just one song. Additionally, an artist with two or more albums with a rank of one to forty inclusive in the UK Albums Chart may be taken off this listing.

[edit] Difficulty in defining a 'one-hit wonder'

It can be difficult to decide what constitutes a 'one-hit wonder'. A band popular in one country may be considered to have only been a one-hit wonder in another. Also a group may have had a string of top-ten hits at the time they performed but only one extremely popular song which gets airplay years after it is released. The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles defines a one-hit wonder as one number 1 and no other chart entry, before or after, but include artists that may have had entries in another guise. For example, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee is considered a one-hit wonder even though both artists have had solo hits, or as part of another act.
