Aww, cmon.

The wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'...

Eh, I don't think it's nearly as known. It's certainly not super instantly recognizable to me anyway (might have heard it a time or two before). Good song though.

just because people only remember one hit does not mean that the band is a one-hit wonder, that's just not how the concept works.

a one hit wonder really only has one major hit. usually some kind of hokey, cliched, and incredibly annoying song that gets overplayed for a summer.

like this guy... could not escape this video in the late 90s, never touched the map outside his local scene afterwards (if he even continued in his local scene).



though i clearly remember an interview where he vehemently denied being a one-hit wonder and that his subsequent singles would top this. they never got released in north america.

Well I'm talking big hits (the biggest), not necessarily being technical about it. I hear ya though.

^it's all good. now had Journey fallen off the face of the Earth after releasing 'Don't Stop Believing' then we might have a contender for biggest one hit wonder.

although... would you believe that song peaked at #8 on the US charts?

Do do do do, can't touch this.

Zager and Evans - In The Year 2525

20 million sold, thought to be the 7th best selling single of all time.

Well that was interesting in one way or another.

Here's one off the top of the head. Not among the biggest-selling, but it's worth mentioning;

They were the bee-girls guys, right?

Don't worry, I'm kidding, but if I had to pick one I'd say James - Pretty is one of my favorites.

And they aren't big enough to win, but White Towns "Your Woman" is pretty great as well. When you remix star wars ATAT's, you know some ****s going to go well.
