A one-hit wonder is a music artist primarily known for one "hit", typically defined as a song that charted in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (the most widely-cited ranking of American music sales, radio play, and streaming) or an international equivalent. If they're lucky, the artist's next single may chart as well, but despite the ubiquitous fame of their first hit, they never really reach the same level of popular success and soon fade from existence. The strange mix required for an artist to release one song that has massive appeal but for none of the rest of their catalogue to match it make one-hit wonders a favorite piece of trivia among fans of music and pop culture.
Usually, the public defines a "one-hit wonder" by cultural impact rather than chart placements (since relatively few people know such trivia off-hand). For example, if an artist has a massive #1 hit, getting a #40 will technically disqualify them as per Billboard's definition of a one-hit wonder, but it's highly unlikely that the #40 will continue to be remembered over time and they will likely become a textbook example of such an artist. Other artists were massive in their prime, and even though they still had clearly defined Signature Songs, nobody would ever consider labelling them as one-hit wonders. However, as time goes on, the artists fall so hard into obscurity (either becoming a Cult Classic, or worse, getting Condemned by History) or the signature song's memetic status and ubiquity so overshadows their other work that their discographies are almost completely forgotten outside of the signature song. Thus, they are erroneously looked back upon as a one-hit wonder. You can tell the music industry is in an Audience-Alienating Era when one-hit wonders proliferate as attempts to find the "next big thing" fail to land.
It is not uncommon for a group to be a one-hit wonder then break up, allowing one or more members to become (more) successful solo acts. It is also not uncommon for the one hit to be atypical of their oeuvre. Also compare Tough Act to Follow and One-Book Author. Of course, if sufficient backlash is applied, they will Never Live It Down. Note that a one-hit wonder on the American charts may be a different story in other countries; many popular European artists charted only once in America. For that matter, many American artists have only charted once in their homeland but are popular in foreign markets such as Europe, Asia and Australia. There are also examples of American artists like who were big names in the U.S. but who only had one big hit in other countries. Likewise, there are artists who only once reached the Top 40 but are respected figures and even trendsetting within their genre; several such examples are listed below. Some observers and music writers will dispute whether these artists count as "one-hit wonders", merely artists that had one Top 40 hit and more of a piece of chart trivia than a specific label. Some artists are even considered one-hit wonders for songs they were featured on that aren't theirs. On the other hand, many artists who have been written off as a one-hit wonder might unexpectedly score another hit, potentially one that's even bigger than their previous (this has become especially true in the age of TikTok).
For further reading, and a good definition of who may and may not be a one-hit wonder, check out this 2012 article for The Village Voice. The author of this piece, Chris Molanphy, later expanded on it and his definition of one-hit wonders as an episode of his Hit Parade podcast.
Compare No-Hit Wonder, wherein an artist manages long-term success without even so much as one big hit, and Two-Hit Wonder, where an artist is lucky enough to score a second hit. Also see Hitless Hit Album, where an artist has a hit album with no hit songs. Contrast Breakthrough Hit, where one hit leads to a string of later hits. Also compare Signature Song which is the biggest hit. May overlap with Small Reference Pools, especially non-music examples. Many of the artists listed here are mislabeled because they have a signature song but still had lesser hits. There have been rare instances where the band had a Top 40 hit, but it is not their most popular song and the signature song the band is known for didn't chart well or at all. Often, this is due to a chart technicality. When the artist's best-known hit is in a markedly different style than the rest of their work, that's a Black Sheep Hit.
Subtrope of He Also Did, which is when an artist has a mixture of very famous work and not-at-all-famous work. Frequently a source of Magnum Opus Dissonance, when the works the creators care about are not the ones the general public latches on to.
Has nothing to do with One-Hit-Point Wonder and usually has little to do with a One-Scene Wonder, which is a small but very memorable role in a large work that may actually be by an A-list star (possibly because he or she is one). Compare One-Song Bard, where a fictional musician only ever plays one piece in the story (because the creators didn't bother to record more than one).
To qualify as a One-Hit Wonder, the hit must be at least 5 years old or the creator/artist must have retired and/or disbanded.

Austrian musician Anton Karas had an enormous hit in 1950 with the "Harry Lime Theme" from the film noir The Third Man, a single release of which reached #1 in the US and became the first record to sell half a million copies. His other compositions are almost completely unknown outside a few devoted zither players.

Ranma ½:
Akane is Myriam Sirois' only major voice acting role, although she had roles in live-action shows like Stargate SG-1. She retired from acting in 2008 to become a flight attendant.
Boy-type Ranma's original voice actress Sarah Strange had only a couple other small voice roles (with Ranma being her only anime role) and left the series after the third season to focus on her fairly successful live-action television career. Afterwards, Ranma was voiced by Richard Ian Cox.
Brigitta Dau's only anime role is girl-type Ranma in the first 6 episodes of the anime and first two OVA episodes. Though she also had a role in the '90s My Little Pony cartoon and some small on-camera roles, Ranma is all she's recognized for. She moved away after her stint on the show, and Venus Terzo (a well-established voice actress) took over her role.
Nabiki Tendo is Angela Costain's only voice role and one of her very few acting roles before she became a pilot. The same can be said for her sister, Elaina Wotten-Costain, who filled in during Season 6.

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band had an influential career as one of the first groups to mix comedy with rock music, and were associates of both The Beatles and Monty Python. Despite their influence, the band's only major hit was the Paul McCartney produced "I'm the Urban Spaceman", which reached #5 in the UK in 1968. The band never reached the Top 40 again, but band leaders Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall both went on to long solo careers. Innes had an especially notable Breakup Breakout due to his collaborations with Monty Python (that's him as Sir Robin's lead minstrel in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and he also sings "I'm the Urban Spaceman" in the Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl concert film), and he also formed The Rutles with Eric Idle.

Alannah Myles is mainly known for her late-1989 Elvis Presley tribute song "Black Velvet", a #1 smash on the Hot 100 that was also a Top 10 hit in many other countries. Myles charted several more times in her native Canada (including 1992's "Song Instead of a Kiss", which topped the RPM charts), but never saw the US charts again after "Black Velvet". Atlantic Records simultaneously released a soundalike version by Robin Lee to the Country Music format, which proved to be her only hit there; however, Lee has had somewhat more success as a songwriter.

During the "Don't Stop the Music" arc of Ghost Writer, Leif, the electrician for Lenni's music video, was revealed to be a teen popstar in the 70s with a hit called "Girl". It's implied that his success didn't continue because he tried to follow the same formula and refused to branch out.

Finnish group Loituma became this thanks to Memetic Mutation. Their version of the Finnish folk classic "Ievan Polkka" ("Eva's Polka") from their self-titled 1995 album became a huge meme back in 2006 thanks to a random Russian LiveJournal user, who combined the scatting portion of the song with a brief looping clip taken from Bleach. So, "Leekspin" was born. Loituma even released a new single with the English title "Ieva's Polka" in 2006 to capitalize on the fad, but since the craze died down nobody cared anymore about them outside of Finland.

While there are many British artists who are stars in their home country, but only managed one hit in America, the reverse is true too. One such example of this is John Denver. In his native United States, Denver was one of the biggest music stars of the 1970s, with four #1 singles and a series of gold or platinum albums. Across the Atlantic in the UK, however, he only had one top 40 single: "Annie's Song", which went to #1 there in 1974. After that, he only had one other song ever hit the UK charts, when "Perhaps Love", a collaboration with famed opera tenor Plácido Domingo, made it to #46 in 1981. Several of his other songs, including "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads", have since become more well-known in the UK following his death.

The lead Simpsons voice actors:
Dan Castellaneta (Homer) and Nancy Cartwright (Bart) are both very prolific voice actors with a few scattered live-action roles. However, none of their characters are nearly as iconic as their Simpsons roles; Dan Castellaneta is next-best known for replacing Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin while Nancy Cartwright is next best known for replacing Christine Cavanaugh as Chuckie on Rugrats.
Julie Kavner had some success as a television actress on Rhoda, but today is only known for being the voice of Marge.
Yeardley Smith (Lisa) has this the worst. Apart from a couple of one-off characters that are similar to Lisa, she does not play any other voice roles on The Simpsons. Her only other major leading role came with 1993's We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, which was a box office bomb. She does occasionally work as an on-camera actress with bit parts in several popular movies (such as The Legend of Billie Jean, As Good as It Gets, and City Slickers), and a supporting role in the now-forgotten cult sitcom Herman's Head.

David Foster had several hits as a producer and songwriter, winning 16 Grammys, but only one solo song reached the Top 40: the instrumental "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" in 1985 at #15. Foster found more success on the adult contemporary charts in his native Canada.

Remote Control host Ken Ober seemed poised for a high-profile career as a TV personality after that Cult Classic game show ended in 1990, but never really did much on-camera afterwards except for some commercials and small acting roles, including appearances in several Blues Traveler videos. He hosted three other game shows after Remote Control ended, but none of them panned out...only one made it to a second season, and even then, that season saw Ober replaced by a new host. Ober eventually moved into writing and production before dying from heart disease at age 52 in 2009.

Elmo & Patsy had a Christmas classic with "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", first released in 1979, but nearly anyone would be hard-pressed to name any other release. Interestingly, Patsy isn't even on that song, so it's often just credited to Dr. Elmo. Despite its popularity (so popular that it even spawned an animated special), it never entered the Hot 100 until The '90s, and its highest peak on any chart was a mere #48 on Hot Country Songs in 1999. In Canada, the higher-charting version was a #20-peaking release by the Irish Rovers in 1982.

Many voice actors in the Tenchi Muyo! franchise, since it was one of the first to use Union voice actors.
Ryoko is Petrea Burchard's only major animation role, with her only other role period being a bit part on Serial Experiments Lain. She also had some minor on-camera parts.
Matt Miller, who voiced Tenchi, had some other anime roles, but Tenchi is his only lead and only claim to fame. He's mostly a stage actor.
Ellen Gerstell's only anime role is the original voice of Mihoshi before Rebecca Forstadt took over following her retirement. She had some roles in western animation, however, notably Rapture in Jem.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
All Sue Ulu's remembered for is voicing Ritsuko in the original Evangelion dub before quickly retiring from voice acting. She had some supporting parts in other shows around the same time, and was also a co-lead in Dirty Pair Flash, but nothing else remembered today.
Ritsuko was voiced by Mary Faber in the Amazon Prime dubs of the Rebuild films, who has no other anime voice credits, although she has some scattered video game and western animation credits. Most of her work is on stage.
Tristan MacAvery is best remembered as Gendo in the original dub. He had some other decent parts at ADV around the same time, but nothing nearly that big, and he hasn't been heard from in over 20 years. He apparently retired from voice acting after a fallout with ADV co-founder Matt Greenfield.
Kyle Sturdivant's only notable role is Kaworu in the original TV series dub (he was replaced with Greg Ayres in the director's cut version). His only other roles were bit parts and background voices in a few other shows.
Kendra Benham's only credit is Maya Ibuki in the original TV series dub. She later married and divorced Spike Spencer, the voice of Shinji.
The same goes for her replacement in the original movies (dubbed by Gaijin Productions), Amy Seeley, who's only other anime credit is a bit part in Read or Die and background voices in Dead Leaves (both also for Gaijin), where she also co-adapted and directed. Most of her work is in standup comedy. She reprised Ibuki 20 years later for the Amazon Prime dubs of the Rebuild films.
Both of Fuyutsuki's original voice actors, Guil Lunde (TV series) and Michael John Ross (original movies, Rebuild Prime dubs). Lunde had some supporting roles in other ADV dubs in the 90s, but Fuyutsuki is all he's remembered for. Ross's only other anime credit at all is a small role in Read or Die (he's married to Amy Seeley).
Aaron Krohn is best known for voicing Kaji in the original dub, as well as taking over Kaworu for the original movies. He had some small roles at ADV at the time, but he's long retired from anime voice acting, and now works as a stage actor in New York and does occasional live-action TV appearances.
In the Netflix dub, Asuka is Stephanie McKeon's only anime credit, and one of her very few voice acting credits. Most of her work is on stage (including Anna in the West End production of Disney's Frozen). The dub's divisive reception may have had something to do with this.

Spark Unlimited's first game Call of Duty: Finest Hour was a solid financial hit and garnered pretty decent reviews, although Activision's opted not to renew the company's contract due to the game's Troubled Production. All of Spark Unlimited's following games (Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Legendary (2008), Lost Planet 3, and Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z) were financial and critical bombs.

In Shining Song Starnova, the titular idol unit becomes this during Natsuki's route. They can't replicate the success of their first CD album release, and the fact that they can't settle on an image and don't get embroiled in scandals causes the public to gradually lose interest in them, with a corresponding decline in sales figures. Despite their best efforts, the group can't get out of this slump and Starnova is ultimately forced to disband, though its members go on to have successful individual careers afterward.

Technically, The Ides of March are a one-hit wonder with their 1970 hit "Vehicle" (#2), but in Chicago, they had other hits on local radio ("You Wouldn't Listen", "Superman", "L.A. Goodbye"). The Ides of March's lead singer and main songwriter (Jim Peterik) later joined Survivor.

Barry Cryer is best known as a veteran comedy writer and performer who has been part of the British comedy scene - today, one of its elder statesmen - for the best part of six decades. What is less well known is that in 1957, he recorded a cover version of the novelty hit song Purple People Eater which bombed in Britain - but became number one in Finland. Barry never had another hit record. Anywhere.

Boots Randolph's only Top 40 hit was "Yakety Sax" in 1963. The song was popularized through its use in The Benny Hill Show, and by extension, has become a tune used to automatically make anything funny.

In Comic Girls, Ririka Hanazono, the dorm matron for four aspiring manga artists, is a non-musical example. She once published a manga volume when she was young, one that Kaos discovered was surprisingly popular. Despite that, Ririka couldn't find the motivation to do another and gave up, believing that it's more fulfilling to draw for fun than to do it professionally.

Amanda Lipitz, under the stage name "Amanda Brown," is known only for voicing the main character Zoey/Ichigo in 4Kids' version of Tokyo Mew Mew (AKA Mew Mew Power) and little else. Her only other credits at all are a one-episode guest role on Magical DoReMi and a recurring role on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward. Most of her work is as a producer on Broadway.

The Wonders in That Thing You Do!, for whom their one hit is the titular song. The irony of the band's name is pointed out by their own manager after the band fails to produce a second hit. In real life, the song (written and performed by Candy Butchers frontman Mike Viola and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger) made the real Hot 100, but ironically, it peaked at #41.

Short-lived film studio Vestron Pictures only managed to create one entirely self-produced hit: Dirty Dancing. Primarily a home video distributor before the success of that film, their attempts to become more involved in the financing of their films never bore fruit, and they declared bankruptcy in 1991.

Yeardley Smith (Lisa) has this the worst. Apart from a couple of one-off characters that are similar to Lisa, she does not play any other voice roles on The Simpsons. Her only other major leading role came with 1993's We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, which was a box office bomb. She does occasionally work as an on-camera actress with bit parts in several popular movies (such as The Legend of Billie Jean, As Good as It Gets, and City Slickers), and a supporting role in the now-forgotten cult sitcom Herman's Head.

Sheb Wooley only had a single Top 40 hit on the Hot 100, when his novelty tune "Purple People Eater" topped the chart in 1958. Outside of that chart, he's been very successful in other areas: He had a #1 hit on the country chart in 1962 with "That's My Pa", and later in the decade, had a string of country hits under the name Ben Colder with parodies of other songs. He also had a long career as a Western actor, and had a supporting role on the show Rawhide. That's also his voice on the deathless Wilhelm Scream sound effect, recorded during the filming of the 1951 film Distant Drums.

Also from 1971, Les Crane released a narration of the spiritual poem "Desiderata" with orchestral accompaniment. The poem, which was thought to be hundreds of years old, was actually written in 1927 by a little-known Indiana lawyer named Max Ehrmann (thus making him a One Hit Wonder as well), and after a lawsuit, his family got royalties from the song. Crane's accompanying album, featuring recitations of both existing and original poetry, won him the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album. Crane was far more popular as a radio and television broadcaster but never recorded again; he eventually moved into the software business.

Nina Simone is a jazz icon and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Despite her importance and popularity, she only had one Top 40 hit in the United States, when her cover of "I Loves You, Porgy" reached #18 in 1959. Five more Simone singles reached the Hot 100, including her legendary recording "I Got No, I Got Life", but none of them got any higher than #76. Simone was more successful as a singles artist in the UK, where four of her songs reached the top ten.

Bobby McFerrin had a #1 hit in late 1988 with "Don't Worry, Be Happy", the first a cappella song ever to reach the top of that chart. McFerrin had a long career as a jazz musician before and after, but the few other singles he released after "Don't Worry, Be Happy" did not make it onto mainstream pop charts. Since his only hit, he has remained popular in jazz circles and as an orchestral conductor.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time: The Grizz was a simple street hood tagging walls with his graffitti that ended up becoming popular in the art community as "Neo-Paleolithic Urban Expressionism." After a while, the Grizz's rise to stardom ended as soon as it began when everyone realised his art wasn't an astetic choice, but just plain bad. Losing his 15 Minutes of Fame drove the Grizz to become an art thief and work for Le Paradox in his time travel scheme.

The cast of the iconic British sitcom The Young Ones made it all the way to #1 in the UK in 1986 with a cover of Cliff Richard's classic "Living Doll" featuring Richard himself. The series had aired its last episode two years beforehand, but the cast reunited and collaborated with Richard - who was a running gag on the show, which was named after another of his hits - for the Comic Relief charity. The cast scored no further hits together.
Nigel Planer, in the guise of Neil, his hippie character from The Young Ones, reached #2 in the UK in 1984 with a cover of Traffic's psychedelic classic "Hole in My Shoe". The song's success was helped by both the popularity of the show at the time and Planer's self-aware appearance on Top of the Pops. The character's next single was another psychedelic-era cover, this time Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle", but it only reached #97.

Thom Huge performed in the Garfield Specials (except Here Comes Garfield) and Garfield and Friends as Jon Arbuckle, Binky the Clown, Roy the Rooster, Gort the pig and assorted minor roles, but has no other credits. Justified, as he was actually an employee of Paws, Inc. (Jim Davis's company in Indiana) who apparently was meant to be a stand-in voice, but did such a great job that they didn't want to replace him.

Adriana Casselotti, the voice of Snow White, has no other acting or voice acting credits, except as an additional voice in the song "If I Only Had a Heart" in The Wizard of Oz. This is largely because Walt Disney himself put a clause in her contract that forbade her from ever doing any other work in the entertainment industry so as not to "spoil the illusion of Snow White." Out of her replacements in the role, Mary Kay Bergman is the only one with a noteworthy career. Bergman's successor, Carolyn Gardner, was a Disney employee, while Katherine Von Till, her current voice actress, has had a number of minor on-camera parts. Pamela Ribon, who voiced her in Ralph Breaks the Internet, is primarily an internet blogger, so she hasn't had any other notable voice roles.

Gabriel Range directed the controversial Mockumentary Death of a President, and the buzz from the film led to him being named by Screen International as one of the 2006 "Stars of Tomorrow", which labelled him a 'creator of innovative and convincing drama documentaries...acclaimed for their plausibility, naturalism, and integrity.' Since then, he has had an utterly lackluster career mostly comprising of UK-only television films (plus the mostly-ignored David Bowie biopic Stardust).

J Balvin isn't a one-hit wonder especially in the reggaeton scene, but French musician Willy William, who featured on his 2017 smash hit "Mi Gente", which topped many charts worldwide, reached #19 in the US Hot 100, and was then upgraded to a #3 thanks to the remix with Beyoncé, definitely is. While he has kept mild success in his native France and some other European countries, the novelty of "Mi Gente" being highly associated with William renders him highly unlikely to ever have another mainstream hit.

Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major is perhaps one of the most famous and frequently performed classical works. Though some of his organ works are popular with organists, the overwhelming majority of the general population, if they know him at all, only know the Canon.

Berserk is not only the Magnum Opus of Kentaro Miura, but it is also his only successful creation. His other manga Gigantomakhia did not have the same amount of impact and recognition, and was considered an average work in comparison with Berserk.

Wonder Girls became the first-ever South Korean artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 when their song "Nobody" made it to #76 in 2009. Although they were incredibly successful in Korea, and popular with Western K-pop fans before and after its release, it remains their only entry on any American singles chart.

Morris Minor and the Majors: Their only big hit was the Beastie Boys parody "Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime)". The followup, a Stock Aitken Waterman parody called "This Is The Chorus", did less well. In his book One Hit Wonderland, former member Tony Hawks explains that the first record sold to kids who wanted to wind up older siblings who listened to Beastie Boys. The second record made fun of the music that said kids actually listened to, so it flopped. The group then had their own BBC sitcom, Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors, but it suffered from low ratings and only lasted one season.
The aforementioned One Hit Wonderland book charts Hawks' - who had become famous in the meantime for his comedic travel books - attempts to have a second hit. He succeeded...sort of. He wrote a tune called "Big in Albania", and roped in composer Tim Rice and comedian Norman Wisdom (who is beloved in Albania) to perform the song with him. For his troubles, Hawks was rewarded with a #18 hit in Albania in 2002. Humorously, for all his work, that only made him a one-hit wonder in two different countries with different songs, since "Stutter Rap" never charted in Albania.

The Rabbit Joint are a rock band whose only claim to fame is a novelty song about The Legend of Zelda. It is commonly considered a System of a Down song due to the Serj Tankian soundalike lead singer. When it turned out that it wasn't by them, interest in the group vanished.

Asmik Ace Entertainment is mostly known as a film distributor, but their video game success comes from developing LSD: Dream Emulator, thanks to Osamu Sato and his status of being a Cult Classic artist. Their wrestling games (codeveloped with AKI) have also retained a following over the years, with WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy, both for the Nintendo 64, still regarded as being among the greatest wrestling games ever made.

The entire English cast of Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crash is this, since it was a very early dub from Southwynde Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina. None of the main cast has any other anime credits, except for Sinda Nichols (Priss) and Susan Grillo (Nene) having one other credit each. The only actor from the dub still working today is Michael Sinterniklaas, who voiced background characters and small roles (notably young Mackie).

Finnish board game designer Kari Mannerla created several games early in his life. While his first attempts didn't get much attention, the 1951 release Star of Africa became a big hit in Finland and several of its neighbouring countries, and remains popular as of the 2020s. It ended up being his only major success, as his subsequent efforts (including a Mission-Pack Sequel to Star of Africa and a card game inspired by it) failed to catch on.

Thomas Harris will forever be known as the man behind Hannibal Lecter and virtually nothing more. His debut novel Black Sunday got a generally well-received film adaptation, but both are largely forgotten today, while his only other non-Hannibal book to date, Cari Mora, was widely advertised as being by either "the creator of Hannibal Lecter" or "the author of The Silence of the Lambs", received generally mixed reviews, with many considering it a far cry from the Lecter novels, and has also fallen into obscurity.

The Goodies: They had a string of comedy hit singles in the 1970s that were a natural spin-off from their TV comedy show. What makes them a one-hit wonder is the fact that their first single, "(Do, Do, Do) The Funky Gibbon", a parody of disco dance crazes, was initially taken as a straight song in the USA and made it into the lower reaches of the Dance and Disco charts... before they realized... it remains the boys' only American chart success.

dc Talk were one of the biggest names in Christian music in the late '80s and early '90s and won four Grammy awards over the course of their career. But only one of their songs ever crossed over to the non-religious charts: "Just Between You and Me", a Top 30 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1996. While their most-well known song "Jesus Freak" had airplay on secular alternative radio (due to it's obvious Grunge influence), it didn't chart on the alternative charts at all, but was a top 10 hit... in the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

Eddy Grant: If you know any of his songs, it's likely "Electric Avenue", which was a #2 hit in the US and UK in 1982. His only other American Top 40 entry was the theme song to the movie Romancing the Stone in 1984, which faded into obscurity afterward. However, he had more hits internationally.
Before he went solo, Grant was the guitarist for the 1960s band The Equals, who were one of the few mixed-race British rock bands of the era. The band had several hits in the UK, but just one in the US: "Baby Come Back", which made it to #32 in 1968. Another one of their songs, "Police on My Back", is better remembered for the 1980 cover version by The Clash.

Eric Bercovici wrote the sprawling teleplay for the 1980 miniseries adaptation of James Clavell's Sh�gun. While he was a busy writer, his credits before and after Sh�gun are just individual episodes of various TV shows, a few lesser-known miniseries scripts, and a handful of lower-budget feature films, of which The Culpepper Cattle Co. is the only one that some people might be familiar with.

Andrew and Paul Gower aren't known for anything other than Runescape. Their company, Jagex, has made a few other games, although without the Gowers, but even they are mostly known just for Runescape.

The Zit Remedy/The Zits - Joey, Snake and Wheels' band on Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High - was a one-hit wonder not only in the fact that "Everybody Wants Something" was their only hit, but it was their only song. It's a fact that still gets them mercilessly teased even as adults.

In 1977, the year in which A New Hope kicked off the Star Wars mania that lingers to this day, composer John Williams' iconic "Star Wars (Main Theme)" was issued as a single. As performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, the single version got to #10 on the Hot 100. The LSO charted a second time with the main Superman: The Movie theme, but it only got to #81. The LSO remains one of the world's most respected symphony orchestras and still regularly record film scores, but they haven't touched the pop charts as a billed artist since the 1970s.

Puerto Rican boy band Menudo were stars throughout Latin America in the 1980s, but had just one Hot 100 hit in the United States with the English-language #62 entry "Hold Me" in 1986. The band is better known now for its rotating lineup of members who were removed from the band when they either turned 16 or grew too tall, and for being the former group of hitmaker Ricky Martin.

Brothers Jules and Gédéon Naudet earned sudden acclaim for 9/11, in which in the process of filming an amateur documentary about the trials of a rookie FDNY firefighter they became the Right Men in the Wrong Place to capture some of the most detailed and intimate footage of the attack against the World Trade Center. The brothers opted to continue making low-key documentaries in the subsequent years, leaving 9/11 as their widely-recognised magnum opus.

Harper Lee with To Kill a Mockingbird. For most of her life, it was the only book she ever published, and to this day authors like Stephen King wonder why, since it was brilliant.
As of 2015, the book received a sequel, taking away her One-Book Author status; although whether or not it is still a one-hit wonder remains to be seen, given that it was later confirmed that Go Set a Watchman was actually the first draft of Mockingbird and not actually a sequel.

Stella Gibbons had a reasonable literary career in her time, but of all her works, only Cold Comfort Farm has really endured — with quite a fan base as well as movie and TV adaptations. It is even remembered as having killed off an entire literary sub-genre — Purple Prose-laden rural gothic novels, which were popular at the time until it parodied them so mercilessly. (The fact that it has survived when its targets are forgotten is impressive.) But even its sequels are forgotten.

Almost any Disney Princess voice actress:
Adriana Casselotti, the voice of Snow White, has no other acting or voice acting credits, except as an additional voice in the song "If I Only Had a Heart" in The Wizard of Oz. This is largely because Walt Disney himself put a clause in her contract that forbade her from ever doing any other work in the entertainment industry so as not to "spoil the illusion of Snow White." Out of her replacements in the role, Mary Kay Bergman is the only one with a noteworthy career. Bergman's successor, Carolyn Gardner, was a Disney employee, while Katherine Von Till, her current voice actress, has had a number of minor on-camera parts. Pamela Ribon, who voiced her in Ralph Breaks the Internet, is primarily an internet blogger, so she hasn't had any other notable voice roles.
Ilene Woods' only role of note was as the title character in Cinderella.
Mary Costa is known as the voice of Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, and not much else. To make matters worse, Aurora herself only had a handful of lines, with the part mostly being through singing.
Jodi Benson comes the closest to averting this as a strictly voice actress, since she's had some decent success doing voices for several cartoons, but she will always be known as the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Her other major credits include Barbie in the Toy Story films and the title role in Don Bluth's Thumbelina (another princess role).
Paige O'Hara's only major role is Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Most of her other work is on Broadway. Julie Nathanson, who replaced Paige as Belle's voice in 2011, mostly does secondary and minor roles.
Linda Larkin, the speaking voice of Jasmine in Aladdin has no other major credits. Her singing voice however, Lea Salonga, has had much more success as a singer for other Disney characters, as well as a career on Broadway, and is one of the most successful Filipino singers of all time.
Pocahontas's speaking and singing voice actresses, Irene Bedard and Judy Kuhn respectively, have no other claims to fame, though Kuhn had a decent career on Broadway and a couple Tony nominations.
Averted with Mulan's voice actress Ming-Na Wen, who was also Chun-Li in the live-action Street Fighter film, Jing Mei Chen in ER, and Agent May in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., for which she might actually be better known now. Mulan's singing voice was Lea Salonga.
Also averted with Anika Noni Rose as Tiana in The Princess and the Frog, who's probably better known for her Broadway career and her role in Dreamgirls.
Rapunzel in Tangled is Mandy Moore's only major voice acting role (though Aerith in Kingdom Hearts comes close), but she was already known for her singing career. She's also known for voicing Callie on Sheriff Callie's Wild West, but it didn't last too long.
Elsa in Frozen is Idina Menzel's only voice role, but her Broadway career is her biggest claim to fame.

Nigel Planer, in the guise of Neil, his hippie character from The Young Ones, reached #2 in the UK in 1984 with a cover of Traffic's psychedelic classic "Hole in My Shoe". The song's success was helped by both the popularity of the show at the time and Planer's self-aware appearance on Top of the Pops. The character's next single was another psychedelic-era cover, this time Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle", but it only reached #97.

During his lifetime, Scott Joplin's one and only hit was his 1899 breakthrough "Maple Leaf Rag", though he continued to write and publish rags until his death in 1917, always marketed as being "from the composer of the Maple Leaf Rag". (He also attempted to branch out into more "serious" music by writing a couple of operas, but these were even bigger failures than his follow-up rags.) In retrospect, thanks to his music being featured in The Sting and the subsequent ragtime revival of The '70s, a much larger library of his work has become remembered by modern audiences, including one of his lesser works, "The Entertainer", even supplanting the "Maple Leaf Rag" in the popular consciousness. (His operas remain niche works, but have been staged and are appreciated for their ambition at a time when Joplin's race was an impediment to being taken seriously as a "legitimate" artist.)

Otto Nicolai was a popular opera composer in his days, but only his last opera, The Merry Wives of Windsor after Shakespeare, is performed today, mainly in Germany. Outside the German-speaking world only the overture is sometimes heard. note  Nicolai's greatest contribution to music history might be the opera he didn't write: in 1841 he was offered an opera text by Merelli, the impresario of the La Scala Opera in Milan, but he rejected it for being too grisly. Merelli then sought out a young Giuseppe Verdi, who had just decided to give up composing after flopping with his second opera King for a Day, and more or less bullied him into setting the text to music. The opera, Nebuchadnezzar, was a colossal hit, and Verdi went on to become perhaps the greatest Italian Opera composer ever. Verdi's last opera, incidentally, was Falstaff, based on the same play as The Merry Wives of Windsor, which has overshadowed Nicolai's opera in most of the world.

Aldous Huxley drafted several novels, dramas, and poems, but is famous largely just for Brave New World. His only other somewhat well-known work is the psychedelic drug treatise The Doors of Perception (from which a certain rock band took their name).

The same goes for her replacement in the original movies (dubbed by Gaijin Productions), Amy Seeley, who's only other anime credit is a bit part in Read or Die and background voices in Dead Leaves (both also for Gaijin), where she also co-adapted and directed. Most of her work is in standup comedy. She reprised Ibuki 20 years later for the Amazon Prime dubs of the Rebuild films.

Mason Williams was a talented comedy writer who wrote many of the most memorable sketches on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and was briefly the head writer for Saturday Night Live. He was also a talented classical guitarist, and he showcased those skills on his lone hit in 1968, "Classical Gas".

Much of the New York voice cast for Courage the Cowardly Dog haven't done anything else significant. For example, Thea White (Muriel) is otherwise only known for being the widow of Andy White, the drummer on The Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do". Averted with Lionel Wilson (Eustace's first voice actor, who was Tom Terrific decades earlier), voice director Peter Fernandez, Billie Lou Watt, and the Los Angeles guest voices (such as Jim Cummings (1952)).

Gabriela Cowperthwaite saw success with Blackfish (2013), her second film and second documentary after the largely forgotten City Lax: An Urban Lacrosse Story (2010). An animal rights-themed documentary, Blackfish drew divisive reactions due to its subject matter (allegations of abuse of orcas in captivity at SeaWorld parks), yet was a smash hit with critics and later led to SeaWorld discontinuing their orca breeding program and live performances (though they would later reintroduce orca live shows to their parks in 2020, rendering the film's impact All for Nothing). Her third film and scripted film debut Megan Leavey (2017), despite grossing more money than Blackfish ($14.5 million on an unknown budget compared to the $2.3 million on a $1.5 million budget gross of Blackfish), went largely unnoticed and was trampled at the box office by other releases that summer such as Cars 3, dooming her to one-hit wonder status. Her status as a one-hit wonder for Blackfish was finally solidified when her fourth film and second scripted film, Our Friend (2019), ended up a Box Office Bomb (Budget: $10 million, Box office: $699,452).

Snow topped the Billboard charts for a whopping seven weeks in 1993 with his Reggae meets Hip-Hop song "Informer", and became the best-selling reggae song of all time despite the fact that nobody could understand what he was saying. While his follow-up "Girl I've Been Hurt" charted in the Top 20 (peaking at #19), it's widely considered to be a Creator Killer. All songs since then have failed to chart at all ("Everybody Wants to Be Like You" actually did better in his native Canada seven years later but is forgotten even there). The fact that Snow was in jail at the time it was released, and couldn't actually leave Canada to tour the world at the height of his popularity, certainly didn't help. Also featured in the song was a producer and old-school rapper MC Shan, who contributed a guest rap verse that. 2019 would later see Snow featured on Daddy Yankee's "Con Calma", itself interpolating "Informer". The song would become a massive hit in many countries and a moderate hit in the U.S., but Snow being a featured artist, and the fact it was directly based on the song that made him famous in the first place, doesn't disqualify him from one-hit wonder status.

Joseph Heller is best-known for Catch-22 but wrote many novels that nobody read (including Catch-22's sequel, Closing Time). Some years later, someone put it to Joseph Heller that despite his lengthy bibliography, he'd never written anything else as good as Catch-22. Heller's response: "Who has?"

The Irish-Czech duo The Swell Season had a hit with "Falling Slowly" in 2008 from the film Once, in which they also starred. After the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, it reached #61 on the Hot 100 and also peaked at #8 in Canada and #2 in Ireland. The duo never had another charting hit again, and only released one more album before disbanding in 2011.

Most of the Velma and Daphne voice actresses from Scooby-Doo, including Nicole Jaffe (Velma #1), Stefanianna Christopherson (Daphne #1), Heather North (Daphne #2), Pat Stevens (Velma #2), and Marla Frumpkin (Velma #3). They all had some scattered live-action credits, but nothing nearly as remembered. Completely averted with Grey DeLisle (Daphne #4), Mary Kay Bergman (Daphne #3), B. J. Ward (Velma #4) and Kate Micucci (Velma #6). Mindy Cohn (Velma #5) is a mixed example, with Velma being her only major voice role, but being just as recognized for her live-action role as Natalie in The Facts of Life.

Carl Macek even acknowledged that he hadn't had contact with Newman since the show ended, and he didn't know what happened to her. However, MacQueen also played "Lady Luck" in a long series of commercials for the Virginia Lottery, and is somewhat well-known for that too.

Of the three child actors who voiced the humans in My Little Pony 'n Friends, only Scott Menville (Danny) found success as an adult voice actor. Bettina Bush (Megan) only has done minor roles, with her only other notable credits being the titular character in Rainbow Brite, Dotty Dog in The Get Along Gang and Seattle Montoya in Stargate Infinity, and Keri Houlihan (Molly) was the voice of Marcie in a few Peanuts specials. As for Tammy Amerson, who voiced Megan in the pilot specials and the movie, she mostly played bit parts in unsuccessful sitcoms, like the infamous Cop Rock.

Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris had already been directing music videos and the occasional TV episode for well over two decades, and big things were expected after they made a highly-acclaimed breakthrough into the film industry with Little Miss Sunshine. Since then, however, they've only directed two more films, which have gotten decent enough receptions but had very limited theatrical releases, with Little Miss Sunshine screenwriter Michael Arndt having been the person who really benefited from that film's success in retrospect. Dayton and Faris have had plenty of offers over the years, but their strict refusal to bow to potential moneymakers has meant they've had fewer credits than they could have.

The Neveldine/Taylor directorial team made a big splash with Crank, and got an okayish reaction with its sequel, but all their subsequent works were critical and commercial disasters. Their partnership dissolved after Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which ironically was the highest-grossing film they worked on (though still failed to break even and got a terrible critical reaction), and they've since fared no better as solo directors, both working on No Budget horror films that have gotten little to no attention.

While Stephen Hillenburg did some minor work for other shows and some short films, SpongeBob SquarePants is the only television cartoon he ever created himself and remains his most successful work to date. While he would attempt to create other animated works after leaving the role of showrunner in 2004, most of them all ended up in Development Hell and the few that did get finished (like the 2014 animated short, Hollywood Blvd, USA) have failed to garner anywhere near the success that SpongeBob has received.

Hans Zimmer is an Oscar-winning film composer and a pioneer of electronic music. While he's had several hit albums with his film score soundtracks, he's only had one major chart single as a lead artist. "Spider-Pig", an offbeat 1-minute long choral piece he composed with arranger Michael A. Levine (uncredited on the single) for The Simpsons Movie, made it to #23 in the UK and #8 in New Zealand, and is the shortest song to ever make the Top 40 in either country. He's had a few low charting hits on the UK charts with some other film score excerpts, but none have come anywhere close to the Top 40.

Nate Parker for The Birth of a Nation (2016). The film had a lot of award circuit buzz but wound up Overshadowed by Controversy owing to a historic rape case being discovered related to Parker and the film's co-writer, tying into criticism that the film introduced a rape-revenge subplot that there is no evidence for happening in reality. This led to the film failing commercially, losing its award momentum and killing Nate Parker's hype as an up-and-coming director and actor.

Cameroonian jazz-funk saxophonist Manu Dibango scored a surprise hit with his single "Soul Makossa" (makossa being a Cameroonian dance music genre), which got to #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and #21 on the R&B chart) after becoming a cult favorite on the burgeoning New York disco scene (where it was introduced by a party DJ who just randomly bought a copy of the original Cameroon 45). Several other competing versions had also been quickly recorded and released. The song's famous vocal hook ("ma-ma-ko, ma-ma-sa, ma-ko-ma-ko-sa") was later interpolated in Michael Jackson's hit "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". Dibango never had another hit single, but he continued to be a star in the afrobeat and jazz scenes until his death from the COVID-19 virus in 2020.

Bugsnax: Wiggle Wigglebottom has "Do the Wiggle" as her defining hit, with everything before and after it so far being entirely ignored; she came to the island you're in for inspiration, so she can finally top it. She finds the whole situation particularly frustrating because she actually cared about writing everything else, while "Do the Wiggle" was improvised on the spot after arriving at the studio late and so sleep-deprived she barely even remembers writing it.

All of the lead voice actors in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic aside from Tara Strong (Twilight Sparkle) and maybe Cathy Weseluck (Spike) are known outside Canada almost exclusively for that one series, as most of their roles are anime dubs, obscure shows and roles that were replaced. For the supporting cast, it varies.

Canadian folk-pop group Walk Off the Earth had an international hit in 2012 when their cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" went viral - driven by its gimmick of five band members playing the song on the same guitar at the same time. The cover's novelty didn't translate into a career: While followup "Red Hands" was a minor hit on American adult alternative radio, the only other chart action they've seen since are a couple of low-charting singles on the Canadian Hot 100.

Thurop Van Orman created The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, which is admittedly recognized less for its own merits as a children's black comedy series, but rather for being one of the first industry jobs for several artists who went on to create several award-winning productions of their own, such as Gravity Falls and Adventure Time. Regardless, Van Orman himself, while continuing to write, direct, and even act as showrunner for other animated series and movies in the years afterward, would never have another project reach similar levels of industry influence.

Day 1 Studios scored a big hit with their debut game, MechAssault, which benefited hugely from being a launch game for Xbox Live Arcade back in 2002. All three of their subsequent games (Mechassault 2, Fracture, and F.E.A.R. 3) flopped badly at retail. Acknowledging this, Day 1 set to developed a F 2 P mech game titled Reigns of Thunder (whose teaser trailed advertised it as "Day 1 going back to its roots"), but the studio was then bought by Wargaming and refocused on porting Wargaming's games to other platforms.

Country-pop band Restless Heart is no one-hit wonder, with multiple hits on the country, Hot 100, and AC charts. But their 1993 single "Tell Me What You Dream" was the only major chart entry for Canadian smooth-jazz saxophonist Warren Hill, who was credited for his solos and appeared in the song's music video. Being an instrumentalist, Hill was largely limited to his own genre after that.

Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are all iconic and long-running series, and the directors who kickstarted these franchises are now considered veritable legends within the horror genre. Now see if you can answer this question: Who directed Friday the 13th? The answer is Sean S. Cunningham, who, despite kickstarting what is the most iconic horror franchise of all time, has overall had an utterly lackluster career outside of Crystal Lake. His best-known film outside of Friday the 13th is Deep Star Six, a film that is mostly remembered for being part of a sudden and brief trend of underwater sci-fi horror films in the late '80s, alongside The Abyss and Leviathan (1989).

Speaking of Pokémon: The Series, Sarah Natochenny, the English voice of Ash (2006—2023), has no major roles in any other anime titles. Most of her other work is in fashion modeling and some on-camera/voice acting roles. Veronica Taylor (his original voice) however, is a very prominent anime and video game voice actress.
Lee Quick's only major anime credit was the original voice of Officer Jenny, with small roles in only three other shows. Her first replacement, Jamie Davyous Owens, has no other anime credits.
Matthew Sussman had some other acting credits but is mostly known for being the original Meowth.
Emily Bauer is mostly known for being the voice of Dawn and not much else.
Jay Goede, the voice of Mewtwo and his creator Dr. Fuji who went under the pseudonym Phillip Bartlett, has had no other voice acting roles to date, he is mostly a stage actor and has had some on-camera roles in films and television shows.

Luis Fonsi is by no means a one-hit wonder in Spanish-speaking countries or on Latin music sub-charts; in fact, he is easily one of the most successful Puerto Rican artists of all time. That being said, he's only had one major hit of note outside of those countries or sub-charts, that being his 2017 smash hit collaboration with Daddy Yankee, "Despacito". This led Justin Bieber being brought in to add his vocals to a remix, and in turn, it became a global #1 smash; in the U.S., its 16-week run at the top of the Hot 100 tied with "One Sweet Day" as the longest-reigning #1 hit in the chart's history before "Old Town Road". While Fonsi is still a popular artist, he's unlikely to have another hit worldwide since non-English hits are rarely that successful.

Panamanian producer El Chombo got to #20 in the UK in 2006 with his song "Chacarron Macarron" featuring vocals from Andy's Val Gourmet. The song became a hit because of its novelty appeal, as Val Gourmet's vocals were nonsensical gibberish that he laconically mumbled, and it charted after becoming a meme on YTMND. El Chombo never had another UK hit, but he became a one hit wonder in the U.S. with the more straightforward "Dame Tu Cosita" in 2018. El Chombo has since become arguably better known for his podcast, while Andy's Val Gourmet had pretty much languished in complete obscurity at the time of his death in September 2023.

Ylvis are a very successful comedy duo in their native Norway and even had their own television talk show for several years. In 2013, the duo released the single "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" and saw it become a surprise viral hit around the world, including #17 in the UK, #6 in the US and #1 in Norway. Their followup single "Trucker's Hitch" only charted in Norway, and the duo has mostly focused on their television career since then.

Alexey Pajitnov would have to be the biggest example. He is known for creating Tetris, one of the most popular games of all time, and absolutely nothing else.
He worked for Microsoft's games division for a while in the late '90s and early 2000s, creating critically acclaimed puzzle games like Pandora's Box and Hexic that met with commercial indifference, even when his semi-famous name was played up in advertising.
He eventually gave in and tried to create a direct followup to Tetris, called Welltris, which is basically the same game but with the player now viewing the action from above. It was not well received.

In Dead Island, one of the player characters is Sam B, a rapper famous for his one hit, "Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch?". The fact that his one hit is a Horrorcore track he wrote as a joke after years of trying to gain momentum as a serious, politically conscious rapper, and that no one shows any interest in anything he's produced apart from "Who Do You Voodoo, Bitch?", has left him extremely bitter.

Peter Cattaneo got an Oscar nomination for directing the sleeper hit The Full Monty in 1997 but has made just three little-seen films (plus some television work) since then.

Afro Celt Sound System, an eclectic group formed as a collaboration between Irish and West African musicians, scored a massive adult-alternative hit in 2001 with their song "When You're Falling". It spent six weeks atop Billboard's Triple-A chart that summer, helped in part because it featured Peter Gabriel (who also owned their record label Real World Records) on lead vocals. The band never had another Billboard hit afterwards.

Another anime example is Adam Conlon, who was Kouta in Elfen Lied. He had a handful of other anime roles for ADV, but that was his only lead, and all he's been remembered for. He was replaced with Blake Shepard when the OVA was finally dubbed in 2013.

Rapunzel in Tangled is Mandy Moore's only major voice acting role (though Aerith in Kingdom Hearts comes close), but she was already known for her singing career. She's also known for voicing Callie on Sheriff Callie's Wild West, but it didn't last too long.

Captain Tsubasa is this for Y�ichi Takahashi, inspiring four anime series and several games, and it is still extremely popular in Latin America and Europe. His other creation, named Hungry Heart: Wild Striker did not have the same impact and its manga version barely lasted 6 volumes, in comparison with the thirty-seven volumes of Captain Tsubasa.

Enrique Iglesias is definitely not a one-hit wonder, but Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, the two featured acts on his 2014 hit "Bailando", are one-hit wonders. Both acts have been fairly popular in their native Cuba and the latter later scored some hits on the Latin charts (such as "La Gozadera", which topped most of them), but neither came close to the success of "Bailando" since.

General Larry Platt made headlines in 2010 when he auditioned on American Idol with his unconventional self-penned composition "Pants on the Ground". The 62-year-old Platt was decades over the age limit for the show, and the response from the judges to the song was... mixed, to say the least. The song nonetheless became a meme; Platt soon released a version through rapper Mims' record label, and it reached #46 on the Hot 100. After "Pants on the Ground" faded from public consciousness, Platt never released another song.

Bill Hayes scored a #1 hit in 1955 with a rush-recorded, rush-released version of the Davy Crockett (1954) theme "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". His follow-up stalled in the 30s and he never charted again. Hayes, who was more of a musical theatre and nightclub vocalist, never really focused on a recording career anyhow, and later shifted to acting, most famously in the longstanding role of Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives.

Nobuhiro Watsuki was able to find success in Rurouni Kenshin, and only that. The series went on for 6 years, received an anime, and some movies, and the characters are always used in Weekly Shonen Jump crossovers. He has attempted to write other series, like Gun Blaze West and Buso Renkin, but they never received enough acceptance to go on for more than two years. Watsuki has since become aware of this and now just writes the occasional Rurouni Kenshin spin-off 1- or 2-chapter story.

After having struggled in the Israeli pop music scene for nearly a decade, rocker Haim Zinovich felt that nobody would ever take him seriously, and effectively disappeared by the end of the '90s. In 2000, an Israeli talk show announced that they have booked a singer with a very unusual backstory: he was a man who lost the use of his legs and nearly burnt to death when his house caught on fire. Dubbing himself HaSaruf, or the Burnt Man, his debut single "Hevel HaChen, Sheker HaYofi" was an instant hit on Israeli radio, and Israelis rushed out to buy his mysterious debut album. After his big television appearance, HaSaruf unmasked himself to reveal that he was Zinovich in disguise all along. The ploy worked big time, as his album sold over 400,000 copies, becoming one of the best selling in the country's history, and "Hevel HaChen" was named the fifth-biggest hit of 2000. Unfortunately, his popularity waned considerably afterwards as the novelty had worn off; although he had a few more minor hits and released one more album under the HaSaruf name, they failed to live up to the success of his debut, and the project was shelved not long after. Zinovich and his songwriter Tomer Biran then started to make dance-funk music together under the name "Zino & Tommy"; while their music made appearances on The Sopranos and in several hit movies like Click and RV, they never really sought getting hit singles in Israel or anywhere else.

Julie Franklin voiced Agent Mai in the original Dragon Ball, and her cameo in GT. That remains her only named role, her only other credits being background voices and bit parts in Dragon Ball and YuYu Hakusho. At that time, she was dating Christopher Sabat. In recent media, however, Mai is instead voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard.

When Alison Lohman voiced the title role in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, she was a rising star with roles in small films and two short-lived TV shows. A few years later, she starred in Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, but then immediately retired from acting. These days, she might be best known as Nausicaä, which is unheard of for any other "celebrity" cast in a Disney Ghibli dub.
