they're somewhat the opposite, in that their "hit" (or other semi-hits) were nowhere near their best music. RIP. shite that dude died way too young. frick.

actually that might win.

I haven't read every post, so I'm sure Nena's 99 Luftballons has been mentioned. I'm sure they were huge in German apart from that song, but that's all i know.

Anyways, my favorite one-hit wonder is easily "Achy Breaky Heart."







Silly Ray had a handful of Top 10 hits and probably a few more in the top 40. That said, someone should have told his heart, his achy breaky heart, so it might would have blown up and killed him before he spawned.

Good call. Circle from that album might actually be the better song.

No question in my mind. In fact, it is often the case that other songs on a given album are better than the "hits" from that album.
