While I agree that we shouldn’t use “number of songs that made top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100” as a hard and fast determiner of what constitutes a one hit wonder (Jimi Hendrix is not a one-hit-wonder, but Dead or Alive is a one hit wonder band), one issue I am seeing in the list is the number of British or regional one hit wonders which never broke the top 40 in the US: Toto Coelo, that Shiny Shiny song, to name just two 1980s examples which were only top 40 in the UK; here in the US they were either MTV hits or were mainly played on alternative music stations. That in mind, would it be reasonable to remove songs from this list which never made the US Billboard top 40? It can sometimes be hard to tell, without grabbing a lot of context, if a given reference is talking about the US or UK when they discuss a song being a 1-hit-wonder, so a number of UK-only hits are on the list.

We need to have better criteria then just having 2 sources as many of the singers and bands mentioned are not truly one hit wonders as they have multiple hits Lunacats ( talk) 16:03, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Binksternet, the criteria says " even though they may actually have had multiple hits", I'm not sure we have to be slavish to the sources here, as there is some flexibility. Any source that would call Rodney Crowell a "one hit wonder", well, is kind of an idiot. He's had more than a few hits. I understand that some entries may have had some other minor hits or just called that, but he kind of stands out as someone who has had tremendous success, and even if a source things he was a "one hit wonder", he really isn't. Unlike most of the entries, he is rather critically acclaimed for writing, singing, and has charted over a dozen singles and over a dozen albums in a career that spans over 40 years. Two Grammys plus other awards. I mean, that is kind of the antithesis of a one hit wonder. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
I find it a bit strange to have a category of people appearing multiple times on a list of one-hit-wonders. See for instance the sentence "British musician Tony Burrows sang the lead vocal on five one-hit wonders". To me, it's not immediately apparent how you're a one-time-wonder when you've had five top hits. -- 2A02:8071:B6A8:1B00:FC0E:E627:B689:15C9 ( talk) 22:48, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

I see some people arguing that there are some people on this list who have had more than one top 40 hit and I agree. The term "one hit" speaks for itself and to include people who have had multiple success and somehow are still included on this list is completely disingenuous to music. 2603:7000:8E03:FB00:545C:4A29:8E6D:256E ( talk) 20:44, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
I am encountering an issue with the Visual Editor that I used to always have. Recently, I was able to successfully add a number of entries to the 1960's and 1970's sections of the list because of this issue being absent. I was also able to order the entries correctly. The issue is when I click on the [edit] text next to where the decade is listed, the entire list is highlighted in a large blue square. You click on it, and it says, "Template Content" and a bunch of other jargon after "Generated from". When I wasn't getting this, I was able to just click on the [edit] text and simply add a bullet point at a certain part in the list. How do I fix this? Thank You ~ Alexander Ya Boy Alex! ( talk) 04:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
not a fan of bands like simple red or Europe but we should use the criteria of BILLBOARD. simple minds had at least 3-4 Top 40 Hits. A one hit wonder is defined as artist who had just one Top 40 Hit in the US.
Worthless under-charts like Dance Charts etc. irrelevant !! 2A02:8071:67C1:5320:69BD:3358:F697:F6CD ( talk) 20:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
JESUS JONES had 2 Top 40 hits on the billboard Charts
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW #2 REAL REAL REAL #4
fact is that this band is not a one hit wonder
but there is one problem.
REAL REAL REAL became #4 on the hot 100 because of changes in Hot 100 criteria in 1991. no one in The USA knows this song 2A02:8071:67C1:5320:69BD:3358:F697:F6CD ( talk) 20:53, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
So, I was recently looking through the list, and I noticed something. It seems that some people are citing (or at least are going to attempt to cite) the page "All One-Hit Wonders 1955-2016" from top40weekly.com
The cite lists all artists from 1955 to a certain point in 2016 (then it just cuts off for whatever reason) who have only had one song appear in the Top 40 of The Billboard Hot 100. The issue is that some people are citing this cite for artists that in reality, have had more than one song reach the Top 40 of The Billbaord Hot 100. They seem to think that because the list is long, no one is going to be bothered to click on the direct link, and actually look through the list for themselves and see if the artist in question is even on the list at all.
A similar thing goes for Wayne Jancik. I just removed an entry from the list (That being the group Club Nouveau with the song "Lean on Me" to be exact) because Wayne Jancik was falsely cited. He explicitly defines a One-Hit Wonder as "An act that has won a position on Billboard's national, pop, Top 40 just once." Club Nouveau however, had two Top 40 songs. I also just replaced a citation for Mungo Jerry's "In The Summertime". The citation was "Jancik (1998), p. 500."
One issue however, I don't think whoever used this citation (or most people on this Wiki page for that matter) have even READ Wayne Jancik's book at ALL. My Wayne Jancik book is from 2008. The bulk of the book tells the stories of artists who have had only one Top 40 song, who's songs have in turn peaked at positions #1 - #20. At the back of the book from Pages #498 - #509, are some pages not talking about in detail, but rather simply listing all of the artists (from 1955 - 1992) who have had only one Top 40 song, who's songs have in turn peaked at positions #21 - #40. The section is called "The Bottom 20". (Likely because of limitations) Mungo Jerry's song "In The Summertime" was cited to be Page #500 of Wayne Jancik's 1998 book, "The Billboard Book of One-Hit Wonders". (Which in all fairness, I do not own)
https://www.amazon.com/Billboard-One-Hit-Wonders-Wayne-Jancik/dp/0823076229
Here on Amazon, one of the reviewers is explaining the "Bottom 20" section of the book. So the book must also be structured like Wayne Jancik's 2008 book, "One-Hit Wonders". (The book that I happen to own) The song "In The Summertime" by Mungo Jerry peaked at #3, so the entry for Mungo Jerry in the book should not be anywhere NEAR Page #500. It should be at the begin of the 1970's chapter. (For me, the song is listed on Page #287)
Guys, what I am trying to say is this: When a new entry is put on the list, you MUST check the sources used. End of story. There might be an invalid source used, and you would never even notice it. So I am just trying to bring awareness to this issue on here.

I think we need to establish which of these can be considered reliable, and which are not. Following that, some entries will probably fall away. Binksternet ( talk) 01:57, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Bustle has firm editorial oversight. [5] They are an online magazine. The article in question was written by a veteran entertainment journalist. Nothing unreliable that I can see in this case. Binksternet ( talk) 22:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Other sources discuss whether the Wallflowers are a one-hit wonder.
Several sources such as Grunge.com and a fan review published in the Deseret News talk about the Wallflowers being considered a one-hit wonder while adding contradictory text to negate the label. But enough positive application of the label appears in sources for us to list the band. Binksternet ( talk) 00:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Bustle has firm editorial oversight. [5] They are an online magazine. The article in question was written by a veteran entertainment journalist. Nothing unreliable that I can see in this case. Binksternet ( talk) 22:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Other sources discuss whether the Wallflowers are a one-hit wonder.
Several sources such as Grunge.com and a fan review published in the Deseret News talk about the Wallflowers being considered a one-hit wonder while adding contradictory text to negate the label. But enough positive application of the label appears in sources for us to list the band. Binksternet ( talk) 00:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
