I hardly see how some of these are "one hit wonders@, how you can even suggest Kesha may be a one hit wonder validates my point even further :spin:

Harry currently has two singles out, "Sign of the Times" and "Two Ghosts". Two Ghost has yet to break into the Hot 100, peaking at #18 on the Bubbling Under 100. Yes, it will be released as an offical single on August 8th, but as of right now he's a solo one hit wonder.

Now with Lawrence, that song is part of her discography, and counts towards her being on this list. 

 Even if Two Ghosts flops, he could still have a more successful third or fourth single this era. The lead single of his next era will probably be a hit like SOTT because of the hype. You can't just write off a debut artist who only released his first song a couple of months ago. 

And regardless of what Wikipedia says about Jennifer Lawrence's "discography", she is an actress and doesn't have plans to release her own music. A song on a movie soundtrack can't be a one hit wonder. That makes no sense.

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

Not sure about your definition 

For example, Perfect Illusion peaked inside Top20 @ #15 but it's definitely not a hit... :huh:

Over.

Btw, how does Kesha get saved by Timber? 

Apart from Tik Tok, Animal achieved 3 top 10 hits. Not to mention when We R Who We R went #1.

In my messy era.

Right? She had half a dozen hits with her first two albums. She is well past being a one-hit wonder.

Calling Florence WELCH a one hit wonder is a sin! She is a million time better than Gaga

She may or may not be a better vocalist, but this thread is about charts. From 2013-2017, Florence has one had one song in the Top 30. Like it or not but that's the truth.

Well if you see I made this thread about modern songs (2013-2017) In which she only has one song, yes she isn't a one hit wonder, and I wish her the best success in this era.

I know, my reply didn't really have anything to do with the forum I just felt that my boo was being attacked and overreacted lol. 😘

One hit wonders in the past were those that truly slay, not top 30 flops, maybeeee top 5

Note Kesha gets saved from this list as Timber topped the charts, and Praying will debut at #25 later this week.

Kesha has multiple Top 10s :awkney:

TBH, none of these are really huge hits. A one hit wonder to me is someone who was MASSIVE ala Meghan Trainor with AATB, and then maybe had some minor success afterwards but could never live up to that one huge hit.

I barely know most of the people on that list :deadbanana:

Feel free to add one hit wonders.

Kesha isn't saved by having 9 consecutive songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard charts (Seven solo-songs, two-features)? No song she has ever released, sans the one-off True Colors with Zedd, has not peaked within the US Top 40. Kesha has three to four #1s, depending how you classify her feature on Right Round. What is this logic?
