#OneHitHistory Through American Top 40, he spotlighted countless fleeting hits and, for many artists, it was their brief moment in the sun that lived on thanks to Kasem’s voice. He will always have a special place reserved in OneHitWonderland. #CaseyKasem #AT40 #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#OneHitWonderland is a strange place... a place where a silly tune about a runaway meatball can become a national novelty hit...!

A #OneHitWonderland question for you:

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy" is a fun one from Ron Evans... He's definitely in the 'Is he, or isn't he' category here in #OneHitWonderland.

So, what do you think? Did Andrew Gold earn US #OneHitWonder honors with "Lonely Boy"?
Just a Classic 70s track!

Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy (#7 US, What’s Wrong With This Picture?, 1976). Official promo video!

I've always been amazed at how creative worlds collide, sometimes in unexpected ways, here in #OneHitWonderland. More often than not, behind many US #OneHitWonder honorees, there are others with legacies all their own... #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#OneHitHistory One of the favs in #OneHitWonderland... The English garage rock group The Nashville Teens earned US #OneHitWonder honors with their version of John D. Loudermilk’s “Tobacco Road.” It spent 6 weeks on the US #Billboard Top 40 in 1964, peaking at No. 14. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Written by Russ Ballard, one of the most important figures in #OneHitWonderland history... not because he earned solo #OneHitWonder honors, but because he wrote the songs that earned the honors for so many others! #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#QuickSidenote Chris Thompson does lead to a bit of a gray area in #OneHitWonderland… His project, Night, had a US #Top40 hit in 1979 with “Hot Summer Nights,” which peaked at #18 on the chart. #Night #ChrisThompson #OneHitWondered

Good lawd... how'd I blow that layup?

Part of that drivel was 'She’ll live forever in that song, Cyndi Grecco will. Maybe nowhere else.'

Questionable line, I'll grant you... but how could I not point out that she'll live forever in #OneHitWOnderland? 😖

#OneHitHistory In another episode of 'Tying back to #OneHitWonderland' we see that "Sunshine of Your Love" was produced by Felix Pappalardi... who earned US #OneHitWonder honors as a member of Mountain. "Mississippi Queen" peaked at #21 in 1970. #MississippiQueen #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#OneHitHistory Just as an example of his importance in #OneHitWonderland… Trevor Horn produced “Relax” by the Liverpudlian dance-pop group Frankie Goes To Hollywood… which earned them US #OneHitWonder honors in 1985. #TrevorHorn #FrankieGoesToHollywood #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly “Can’t Shake Loose” was written by US #OneHitWonder honoree Russ Ballard, a name well-known in #OneHitWonderland. He also wrote “I Know There's Something Going On” which earned US #OneHitWOnder honors for another former ABBA vocalist. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Troy Shondell briefly became a teen idol. Lightning didn’t strike twice, though… and he faded from the charts. Still, “This Time” cemented his place in #OneHitWonderland. #TroyShondell #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly In December of 1998, Billboard revised its rules to allow airplay-only songs onto the Hot 100, too late for Bob Carlisle, though. “Butterfly Kisses” was hugely popular but never hit the #Billboard #Top40… Chart rules can shape #OneHitWonderland history. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Another 'All roads lead to #OneHitWonderland' post... Jim Croce certainly never earned US #OneHitWonder status, but the producers on this song sure did. Terry Cashman & Tommy West, As 'Cashman & West,' had a US Top 40 hit in 1972 with "American City Suite." #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
