🎶 EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! 🎶
September 25 is One-Hit Wonder Day!

Today’s holiday is about the songs that came out of NOWHERE…

Took over the radio.

Got stuck in everyone’s head.

Made an artist famous.

And then…

That was pretty much it. 😂

It’s One-Hit Wonder Day! 🎤

🎵 WHAT COUNTS AS A ONE-HIT WONDER?

Well…

That’s where today’s argument begins. 😂

There’s no single definition everyone agrees on.

Usually, we’re talking about an artist or group that became widely known for one HUGE song — even if they released plenty of other music or had success somewhere else.

And OH, do we have some memorable ones.

🎶 Come on Eileen — Dexys Midnight Runners

🎶 Take on Me — a-ha

🎶 I’m Too Sexy — Right Said Fred

🎶 Who Let the Dogs Out — Baha Men

🎶 Mambo No. 5 — Lou Bega

🎶 Blue (Da Ba Dee) — Eiffel 65

🎶 Somebody That I Used to Know — Gotye

And depending on which chart, country and definition you’re using…

Somebody is already typing:

“ACTUALLY, THEY HAD ANOTHER HIT…”

We know, Steve.

That’s half the fun today. 😂
