Two-Hit Wonder	comment	For every artist who's a One-Hit Wonder â€“ that is, an artist who is primarily known for one successful song and are never truly heard from againÂ â€“ there is the Two-Hit Wonder. Those are the artists who have one really big single, and another song, often but not always the follow-up, is just as big, perhaps even a bigger smash hit than the first. But like the one-hit wonder, success is fleeting for the two-hit wonder and the artist is unable to keep up the momentum. As with one-hit wonders, two-hit wonders on the American charts may be a different story in other countries. For that matter, many American artists have only charted once in their homeland but are popular in Europe (or vice versa: European artists that were more popular in the United States). Likewise is the case of artists from other genres â€“ most notably, country â€“ who have had countless hits in their own genre but when it comes to the mainstream Top 40, they've had only a handful of successes. There are countless examples, so this article will only list a handful of representative samples. Compare No-Hit Wonder (wherein an artist manages long-term success without even so much as one big hit), Hitless Hit Album (where an artist has a hit album with no hit songs) and contrast Breakthrough Hit, where one hit leads to a string of later hits. To qualify as a Two-Hit Wonder, the second hit must be at least 5 years old or the creator/artist must have retired or disbanded.

Two-Hit Wonder / int_2a1bbf37	comment	Carly Rae Jepsen, a former contestant on Canadian Idol, was known as a moderately successful musician in Canada when she released the song "Call Me Maybe". One Justin Bieber tweet later and it was topping singles charts worldwide and a massive pop-culture phenomenon. She followed it up with the Owl City duet "Good Time" which, while not as massive as "Call Me Maybe" was another big hit as well. Unfortunately, she remained so closely tied to her megahit that she was ultimately perceived as a novelty act, and she's commonly remembered as a one-hit wonder for "Call Me Maybe". Thus, the public dumped her in a jiffy. She attempted a Career Resurrection three years later with "I Really Like You", which spent one week in the top 40 at #39. Nowadays, "Like" is much less well known than its follow-up "Run Away with Me", which never made the Hot 100 but received rave reviews from critics and inspired a meme on Vine.

In 2015, they had a massive worldwide hit with "Lean On", which topped the charts in countless countries while peaking at #4 Stateside. Their next big hit, 2016's "Cold Water", debuted in the top 2 in most countries, likely because it featured Justin Bieber. Since "Water" will be more associated with Bieber than with Major Lazer, "Lean On" will likely remain their signature.

Eight years later, in 1996, "Give Me One Reason" became an even bigger hit than "Fast Car" was. That was the last time she ever had pop radio success. Today, she is mostly remembered for "Fast Car".

He remains mostly known for just those two songs to the wider pop sphere, but is still very well respected among rap circles (a good chunk of rap fans being easily able to name other songs from him, including "Faneto", "Save Me" and "Earned It", among others)

A third song off the same album ("Answering Machine") hit the lower reaches of the Top 40, but no more hits followed, and he is now considered a one-hit wonder for "Escape"... at least in the pop music world. Holmes went on to greater success writing Broadway plays and musicals, most notably Drood, and also is remembered as the creator of the AMC TV series Remember WENN.

Their follow-up "Rocketeer", which featured vocals from Ryan Tedder, reached the top 10 but has mostly been forgotten about today. Afterwards, they faded back into obscurity, with only one near-Top 20 hit with "Live My Life" solely due to a Justin Bieber feature. All their other singles bombed and their follow-up album barely scratched the Billboard 200. Today they're commonly regarded as a one-hit wonder for "Like a G6".

Two-Hit Wonder / int_6961332b	comment	Australian-born rapper Iggy Azalea had two major hits in 2014, the chart-topping "Fancy" with Charli XCX and "Black Widow" with Rita Ora. Her only other Top 40 hits included Ariana Grande's Problem, which wasn't her hit, "Beg for It" with MÃ˜ and "Pretty Girls" with Britney Spears; which didn't go top 20, and triple offenders, Jennifer Lopez's "Booty" and T.I.'s "No Mediocre". Not even a year after her two big hits, she was hit with a massive backlash that prevented her from getting a third big hit. She attempted to make a comeback with "Team", but it only peaked at #42 and fell off the charts rather quickly.

Two-Hit Wonder / int_7b32e1aa	comment	While a very big name in the world of EDM, Swedish DJ Avicii only got two songs into the American Top 40. "Wake Me Up!", which holds the record for the biggest EDM hit in history (a feat only rivaled by Major Lazer's "Lean On" two years later), topped many charts and placed at #4 on the Hot 100. Later, his follow-up "Hey Brother" wasn't quite as big as its predecessor, but it was enough to hit #16. All singles since then have fizzled out at the bottom reaches of the Hot 100 at best (largely due to radio executives screwing him over to give the former song near-unprecedented recurrent airplay) and he is remembered by mainstream audiences as a one-hit wonder for "Wake Me Up!" (and if he is considered a two-hit wonder, "Levels" is usually cited as the second hit), but he was a huge name in the electronic scene.

She had two back-to-back Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart in 2009, with the #13 "New in Town" and the #6 "Remedy", while another single, "Earthquake", missed the UK Top 40 by a long shot. However, those would be her last significant hits. She took four years off between her debut and her second album, and her momentum had long dried up by the time the latter was released.

Two-Hit Wonder / int_b67ef0b8	comment	B2K, an R&B boy band, topped the Hot 100 in 2003 with the Sean "P. Diddy" Combs collaboration "Bump, Bump, Bump". After that, they had a #15 hit with "Girlfriend" before they vanished into obscurity. Aside from those two, the rest of their Hot 100 entries either scraped the lower ends of the Top 40 or missed it completely (though their 2001 debut single "Uh Huh" reached #4 in Canada). Today, "Bump, Bump, Bump" is now particularly infamous because it kept Christina Aguilera's much-acclaimed LGBTQ+ community anthem "Beautiful" from reaching #1 on the Hot 100.

Two-Hit Wonder / int_b6b0d244	comment	Neon Trees: In 2010, they scored a surprise hit with "Animal" off of their debut album Habits, which charted at #13 and went 2x platinum. They then released "Everybody Talks" off their sophomore effort, Picture Show which charted even higher at #6 and also went 2x platinum. Those were the only two songs of theirs you were likely to hear on the radio, though "Your Surrender" and "Lessons in Love (All Day, All Night)" saw minor pop radio airplay. Their luck eventually came to an end, as "Sleeping With A Friend", the lead single off their third album Pop Psychology only charted at #51 and failed to reach any certification, while the rest of the singles went completely unnoticed.

A year later, he had a #6 hit with "Run for Your Life" before the public lost all interest in him. In 2013, he attempted a comeback with the Melanie C duet "Loving You", which reached #14, but it was quickly forgotten. Today, Cardle is mostly seen as "that guy who won the series of The X Factor that One Direction were formed in", though he's seen better success as a West End actor.

Two-Hit Wonder / int_c1d0f909	comment	Ithaca, New York-based X Ambassadors broke through in 2015 with "Renegades", which reached #17 on the Hot 100 and topped the Alternative and Hot AC charts. Then, the very next year, "Unsteady" reached #20 and became an equally-major crossover radio hit after a slow climb on the charts. These two songs pretty much sum up the band's legacy. Outside a minor guest spot on the #15-peaking song "Sucker For Pain" from Suicide Squad (2016) (which doesn't really disqualify their status), the band is relatively obscure, even to most casual alternative audiences. Their status seems unfortunately solidified now that their developmentally-troubled follow-up "ORION" failed to reach the top-100, and its singles hardly made any noise on radio.

Then, a year or so later in 2003-04, he scored the #7 smash "Freek-a-Leek" before returning to obscurity. He also had a #1 hit as a featured artist on Ciara's "Goodies", but it wasn't his hit, so it can't really disqualify his two-hit wonder status. Any further hope of another hit was dashed when he was arrested in 2010 for trying to carry a stolen 9mm semi-automatic pistol aboard a US Airways flight bound for Los Angeles, for which he ended up serving 35 months in prison.
