We take a break from ranking hip-hop legacies to dive into the world of one-hit wonders – those artists who captivated audiences with a single smash hit before fading from the spotlight. Our nostalgic journey explores the songs that defined moments in our lives but never found worthy successors.
• Debating what truly constitutes a "one-hit wonder" – is it commercial success, cultural impact, or both
• Birdglass's top picks including Jaquan's "Tipsy," Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," and Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back"
• Joe's selections featuring "Pop, Lock and Drop It," early 2000s pop gems, and the unforgettable "Return of the Mack"
• Distinguishing between true one-hit wonders and artists with successful careers but only one major mainstream hit
• Recognition that some of these songs weren't just hits but cultural moments that defined specific periods in our lives
• Honorable mentions including Wayne Wonder, Brooke Valentine, and numerous forgotten hip-hop treasures
• The surprising afterlives of one-hit wonder artists who found other paths to remain in the public eye

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
