Somebody that makes one album, with one hit single, or even worse, just a hit single and are never heard from again are a one hit wonder. A band that has hits all over the world, releases a multitude of albums and tours the world multiple times cannot be considered a one hit wonder just because it fits in the confines of a few peoples narrow minds..
When I think of 1 hit wonders I think of Casey Kasem doing the American top 40.
That's what I was thinking when I started this thread: Top 40 radio.
Specifically: U.S. Top 40 radio.
This shouldn't be so dixisive.
Yeah.. But U2, AC/DC and INXS probably only had 1 or two songs in Kasem's top 40 show in the 80s too, but should they be labelled one hit wonders?
Anyway, whatever. The beat goes on..
U2 and INXS were on the charts. They were both played on the pop stations.
If memory serves...AC/DC made it in the top 40 for 'You shook me all night long' and maybe for 'Back in Black", but generally, they weren't played on the pop stations.
No...none of those should be labeled 1 hit wonders. They also can't be compared to Midnight Oil.
