Were They REALLY One-Hit Wonders? The Hits You Never Knew About! #DJNTV
We all know the term “one-hit wonder”—but what if that artist actually had a bunch of other hits? On this episode of the DJNTV Tuesday Night Music Show, the crew looks at artists remembered for one massive song in the U.S. even though they scored additional hits on country, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, rock, dance, international, or other charts. Sir Mix-A-Lot is a perfect example. “Baby Got Back” dominates his mainstream legacy, but songs such as “My Hooptie” and “Posse on Broadway” also received airplay and charted outside the mainstream pop chart. The discussion also uncovers familiar songs that surprisingly never reached the Hot 100, including George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and Debbie Deb’s “When I Hear Music.” Then there are artists whose American chart history tells only a fraction of their story. The crew gets into Thin Lizzy, Juice Newton, Devo, KISS, Spandau Ballet, Grateful Dead, Madness, Duran Duran, Dirty Vegas, Status Quo, Slade, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and more—including acts that became enormous overseas while American audiences knew only one or two songs. So maybe some of music’s most famous “one-hit wonders” weren’t really one-hit wonders at all—they were simply artists whose other hits happened somewhere else. What artist do YOU think is unfairly remembered as a one-hit wonder? #DJNTV #OneHitWonders #MusicHistory #Billboard #80sMusic #90sMusic #MusicTrivia #DJs http://www.djeventplanner.com http://www.madebydjs.com http://www.djrequests.com http://www.djntv.com/amazon
