howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 22 October 2004 Posted 22 October 2004 Daphine & Celest - Oo Stick You, Your Momma Too & Your Daddy! :laugh:Now that is a hit! 28190[/snapback] 28291[/snapback] wasnt a one hit wonder though, they did other stuff, they did a cover of schools out, did the new radicals do anything apart from "you get what you give"
Guest Daniel Posted 23 October 2004 Posted 23 October 2004 Dont think you quite understand chap. No band just sings one song, one hit wonders and singing one song is different.
Cobbo Posted 24 October 2004 Posted 24 October 2004 Dont think you quite understand chap.No band just sings one song, one hit wonders and singing one song is different. 28643[/snapback] Yes, the other songs were apparent 'hits' too. So maybe the title 3 hit wonder would be more appropriate
Cobbo Posted 24 October 2004 Posted 24 October 2004 They wernt even classed as hits though. 28876[/snapback] They got into the charts, I think...I believe that classes them as hits. But I am no avid fan so don't quote me on that
Dunc Posted 25 October 2004 Posted 25 October 2004 Yeah one hit wonders are band/artists with 1 recognised chart hit. Pretty simple really. Charles & eddy, Thunderclap Newman, Bran Van 3000, Belouis Some, Chesney Hawkes, Dee-lite etc
Carlo Posted 25 October 2004 Author Posted 25 October 2004 Stiltskin - inside The levis ad music about 10 years ago i think!!!!
MC Prussian Posted 26 October 2004 Posted 26 October 2004 One-hit wonders are bands or single artists which appear out of nowhere and disappear quite quickly soon after their "breakthrough". In the last couple of years (let's go back 20 to 25 years) the music industry has become a real industry where sales count and not the performance. With Techno in the early 90ies emerging as something "popular" (although I never understood what was so special about those stupid and emotionless computer tunes), the industry hooked on it and produced masses of songs nobody actually really needed. Later on, we were "embraced" by artists such as Milli Vanilli... :wacko: Nowadays, we are flooded with cheap artists with cheap names (Vanilla Ninja, O-Zone, whatever) who are just a merchandising thing mass-produced in high-tech studio systems. They can't sing (> Genesis ), can't play instruments (and look really pathetic when trying to do so:)) and don't even write their own songs. And the sad thing is, those are the bands you're very, very likely to find in the charts. Another reason for me to stop listening to the radio...
