SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4 News) – Sept. 25 is National One-Hit Wonder Day! A day where we can celebrate those songs that topped the charts but then their performers faded away from the music scene. What are some of your favorite one-hit wonders? Let us know on our social media pages! Below are some of the ABC4 staff’s favorite ‘one-hit wonders’:

“Vincent” was another hit for Don McLean

[mfish13]

They had many hits.

As a huge Marillion fan myself, I didn’t think “Kayleigh” charted here in the US.

Hmmm.... sadly, you may be correct. We might have to disqualify that entry based on Marillion being a zero-hit wonder. Truly tragic as “Kayleigh” is one of the best songs ever!

Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock

Hard to believe the same guy wrote "Sweet Home Alabama".

[RooRoobird20]

I vote for Please Come to Boston!

[certrtwngnut]

Every time I hear ‘More Than A Feeling’ by Boston I think of Pictures Of Matchstick Men. I think some of the guitar stuff was taken from that song. They are both great songs.

Sorry, they did “Turn DOwn Day” which was a hit.

The whole Misplaced Childhood album is fantastic.

Too bad Fish turned out to be such a moonbat.

Del was more than a one hit singer.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

How can one forget classic lyrics like this;

“And she’ll woo you
Then she’ll moon you
And forget to pull her pants up”

“Marty Feldman Eyes” - Bruce “Baby Man” Baum

Turn Down Day

[BenLurkin]

Nice.

[lizma2]

“Bye Bye Miss American Pie.”

My first album purchase!!

[yeff]

Thanks. I see that Andy Kim also sang this for The Archies recording.
Maybe someone wants to start a thread on Canadian hitmakers??

The Green Berets - Sgt. Barry Sandler

[mfish13]

Really? You never heard of :Hey Joe” and others?

[Rummyfan]

Who Let the Dogs Out... Baha Men

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Rush - New World Man

Yes, it’s true - despite putting multiple albums into the Top Ten, this is Rush’s only single to hit the Billboard Top 40 (peaked at #21 in November 1982).

[dfwgator]

At the very least Lush, should have been a one-hit wonder here with “For Love”.

I can't believe everyone's conspiring to bury the obvious choice, Sugarloaf's Green Eyed Lady.
