But back in the day, the charts were saturated with aspiring young artists whose debut hit was followed by years of silence or failed attempts at follow-up success.
Some of my favourites are listed below...
Eamon - F**k It
The 2003 version of Drake went by the name of Eamon and took the No.1 spot in the UK with this break-up anthem.
Las Ketchup - The Ketchup Song
Even though I had, and still have, no idea what they are singing about, this was my jam back in 2002 (when I was 10 I might add). Memories of me and my younger brother copying the dance moves whenever this song came on the TV still makes me smile.
Kandi Burruss
Ok so Kandi is not technically a one hit wonder because she was part of a very successful girl group and has one a Grammy for her song-writing. However, this is the only solo song that did well and people still remember.
Brooke Valentine
Surprisingly, this song is less than 10 years old which means Brooke debuted around the same time as Rihanna and a year later than Ciara and solo Beyonce. She never reached their level of success even though she had the potential, last I heard she was rumoured to be appearing on Love and Hip Hop: LA later this year.
Nina Sky
These identical twins have actually had follow up releases and a few mixtapes and albums but nothing has charted anywhere as well as Move Ya Body did back in 2004.
