The 57 best one-hit wonders of all time

  • A one-hit wonder is a singer/group that has only experienced real mainstream success with one hit song.
  • Often, people will only remember the name of the song, and not the singer/group behind it.
  • We've rounded up the best one-hit wonders of the past 60 years, including classics like "Macarena" and "Mambo No. 5."


Even though an artist may be a one-hit wonder, they still might have contributed one of the most famous songs of all time. Take Tommy Tutone, for example. You might not know the band, but you can definitely recite the number "867-5309" — Jenny's phone number.

In the last six decades, many one-hit wonders have blessed our ears (or not so much) — we've rounded up the top 57 in the US of the past 60 years (and while some may have found moderate success across the pond, they practically disappeared stateside).

Take a trip down memory lane to revisit these classic jams.
