What is a One-Hit-Wonder?

A the-greatest-one-hit-wonders-of-all-times is a sad success for many musicians. Behind the term is that the artist has had no more hits in his career. Thus, many artists wait in vain for the longed-for breakthrough after their One-Hit-Wonder success.

But remember, having only one hit song is no shame because 99.9% of all musicians don’t even manage to do that.
