Onw-hit wonder? Lynn Anderson, Charley Pride and Ted Nugent had boatloads of hits.

How to improve your writing in one easy lesson.
Before: The sailor she loved was committed to the sea and couldn’t love her back.
After: The sailor she loved thought she was a fine girl, but his wife, his lover, his lady, was the sea.

“Seasons in the Sun” seemed like perky little tune.
Then you got to “Goodbye, My friend, it’s hard to die.”
And you thought: “Wow! That got dark really fast.”

"Video Killed the Radio Star" is a song written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley in 1979. It was recorded concurrently by Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club (with Thomas Dolby on keyboards) for their album English Garden and by British new wave/synth-pop group the Buggles, which consisted of Horn and Downes (and initially Woolley).

My 70s 1-hit wonders are:
“Yellow River” by Christie (a lot of the players on the record were from the Tremoloes). That song is a real toe-tapper.
“Late December” by Gypsy — a Minneapolis band w/ superb sound but lousy marketing. My favorite rock group of them all.

My favorite one-hit wonder from the Seventies is
Whispering by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band (1976). This counts as a one-hit wonder according to the article's criteria because the band s only other released only reached #80 on the Hot Hundred.
Nonetheless, it's a far, far cry from Paul Whiteman's original version of Whispering, a hit late in the year 1920.

Many “one hit wonder” acts had a minor success after their one big hit. One example is The Lemon Pipers, whose big hit, “Green Tambourine,” was followed by “Rice is Nice,” which made it midway into the Top 40 charts before the band faded away.

Must be a list of songs that made the artist #1 for a time because Lynn Anderson and Charlie Pride both had many other popular tunes.

There ‘s so many more… Convoy (CW McCall), Timothy (Buoys), DOA (Bloodrock), maybe Spirit in the Sky (70s?) Norm Greenbaum (follow up Canned Ham did not touch Top 40.
Hard for me to think of Lynn Anderson and Randy Newman as “One Hit Wonders”, as they were pretty established.
