what a ‘one-hit wonder’ is. Some say that it is a song from an artist that did really well, which was followed by other singles that did not do too well; others say that a one-hit wonder is the only song we associate with that act – and they really didn’t offer anything else to the world of music. In this Lockdown Playlist, I am putting together songs that are considered to be one-hit wonders; in the sense that they are well-known and were popular, but that artist didn’t reach the same peak with other tracks. For Sunday’s Lockdown Playlist, enjoy some great hits from artists who, whilst they may have released other fairly good songs, never really shone as bright as they did…
