One Hit Wonders

 Part One

During this period of time the most one hit wonders were recorded.  What is a one hit wonder?    Most American music industry insiders consider a song in the top forty positions of the Billboard Hot 100 to be a hit. Thus, any performer who recorded only one song that reached the Top 40 is, technically, a one-hit wonder. However, the term is more generally applied to musicians best known for only one song, meaning that some artists who fit the above criteria are not considered one-hit wonders, while others who do not are considered such.  

There were many great recording artists who failed to repeat their initial success and so many of their subsequent recordings were virtually ignored by radio stations and the record buyers.  That doesn't take away the great music that these one hit wonders provided us. 

If you google one hit wonders your results would be massive.  Of course this site is dedicated to the 60s so the list I have compiled are only a few of the one hit wonders of the 60s decade.

In part one I have selectd 41 of some of the best one hit wonders of the 1960s.  You will not only be able to view these selections but you can also listen to them exclusively on The 60s Official Site's Jukebox.  Be sure to check back for Part 2 coming soon.
