National One-Hit Wonder Day

A one-hit wonder is a term used in the music industry to describe an artist or group that achieves mainstream popularity and success with a single song or album, but subsequently fades into obscurity or fails to replicate that success with subsequent releases. The term is often used pejoratively, implying that the artist or group had only one good idea or that their success was a fluke. However, there are also many examples of one-hit wonders who produced enduring classics that have stood the test of time.
