A month ago, I published a list called “The 10 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of All Time.” I thought it was a damn fine list, but the comment section below it might even be better.

Find Part 1 here.

There were so many good suggestions and “songs I missed” in the comments that I started responding to many of them with, “I might have to write a part 2!”

Well, here we are… with 10 MORE of the greatest one-hit wonders of all time. Hopefully these aren’t as controversial as Nena or A-ha from my first list.

1. Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum (1970)

When this song showed up in the comments of my first article on one-hit wonders, I thought, “Yeah, you’re right… that song is incredible.”
