One-hit wonders come from all directions, from serious artists who expected a long career of hit songs to novelty acts who never even expected that first one. But the end result is always the same: It's one and done for the performer.
In this episode of "How We Heard It," your hosts look at an array of their favorite and their most hated one-hit wonders over the years, ranging from before they were born to artists from the past few years who are projected to be one-hit wonders even though they're still just in their 20s.
Some of music's most cherished songs (as well as some of the most despised ones) have been delivered by one-hit wonders, and love them or hate them, they made their mark and can't be forgotten - no matter how hard you try.
