10 (More) of the Greatest One-Hit Wonders of All Time
Open whatever music platform you use (hopefully not Spotify) and put on these hits while you learn a bit about their unique backstories.
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.
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.”
