I know it's someone on the list already, but don't forget "Pass The Dutchie" by Musical Youth, only the GREATEST song ever.

How are Aqua a one hit wonder? Dr Jones, Good Morning Sunshine and Cartoon Heroes were all hits also.

In the US?

I had no idea. The only song by them I ever heard was Barbie Girl.

Yeah Aqua were technically one-hit wonders here because Barbie Girl's the only one that was big. I saw the video for Cartoon Heroes a couple of times tho ..

^ Only hit they had was that "Mmm mm mm" song.

As far as I know anyway.

I've seen VH1's 1 Hit Wonder countdown many, many times. They're airing individual genre ones now...Like '80s New Wave.

And why The Cardigans? They've had 4 or 5 albums.

Aqua definitely aren't one hit wonders, they had Barbie Girl, Dr. Jones, Lollipop (Candyman), and that Cartoon one ..

The Cardigans?? Who are they? :lol:
Crash Test Dummies: I only know that mmm mm song :freak:

Semisonic: Closing Time was like their only hit :nod:
K's Choice: Not an Addict
Joan Osborne: One of Us
Len: Steal my Sunshine
