A one-hit wonder is any entity that achieves mainstream popularity and success for a very short period of time, often for only one piece of work, and becomes known among the general public solely for that momentary success. The term is most commonly used in regard to music performers with only one top-40 hit single that overshadows their other work but is not limited to that field, such as having only one successful album with a string of hits. Often acts dubbed “one-hit wonders” in a particular country have had great success in others. Now without further adieu, check out our groovy list of our favorite 60's one hit wonders. 20.)
