So this discussion arose from another post, let's see what the overall thought is.

I think Milkshake is her only song that (mostly) sounds nowadays, but i don't think she only had 1 hit

BTW, listen to her last album FOOD, it's the best

Listen to my debut pop single 'Want You Bad'! (link on Insta)

I have a feeling she's not a one-hit wonder in Europe. Milkshake, Trick Me and Acapella were very successful.

Acapella had some moderate success here, but other than that, only her biggest hits are really known.
But even then no one really knows who's behind Milkshake for example :shrug:

I wouldn’t say she’s a one hit wonder as she has a handful of songs that are recognisable today, a few of them already mentioned but Caught Out there was pretty big too and her song Millionaire with Andre 3000 was a fave of mine growing up. 

Not the bore worms!

She was a one hit wonder in the other thread and she's a one hit wonder in this thread...

Caught Out There, Trick Me, Milkshake, Bossy, Acapella, 4th of July (Fireworks), and Bounce were all major songs that received a lot of recognition and played on the radio. Not to mention her career has lasted over 10 years

Unlike a real one hit wonder such as Carly Rae Jepsen who only has one well known song: Call Me Maybe

erm... speaking as someone from the UK

 

Milkshake and Bounce are VERY well known by my generation, maybe the tweenies who are 16 now don’t know them, but they were big hits and still get played in clubs :derpga:

 

Acapella was a moderate hit and so was Trick Me, so definitely not a one hit wonder but I can see why she might be labelled as one, but those people are just young and a bit delulu

edit: I’m 22 so don’t call me old and bitter :cryga:

show me to me please

Said this in the other thread and I'll say it similarly again

She CAN BE one if you want her to be but she's logically not chart wise

She has other songs besides Milkshake in the Top 30 feature wise and solo. 

She's also definitely not a one hit wonder (again chart wise) in the UK considering she has like loads of songs in the top ten there.

Also why do y'all dislike her that much like Trick Me is a bop
