I've been looking up artists' releases after their one big hit. Some of them are pretty interesting, bad and/or good... Tommy Tutone
Of course there are. Some one-hit wonder artists released 10 or more singles, but only one of them reached the Top 40.
Actually, I'd suspect the vast majority of them released another single. That single may've flopped, but why would they stop after they had a big hit?
Tommy Tutone had a top 40 hit before 867-5309 so they are technically not a one-hit band. But it's true that one song is the only thing they're really remembered for and I think it's unfortunate. Their first couple of albums are very good.
When In Rome-The Promise, 1988 Charted extremely well. (US) The second single Heaven Knows, barely broke the US 100 (single)
This isn’t bad! I’ve never heard it before. The chord progression is pretty good and I do like Elliot’s voice. Nice tone and very melodic. I may even like this better than “Brandy”. Ed
Here's one I prefer over the #3 big hit - Men Without Hats follow up to The Safety Dance called I Got The Message
This actually did chart in the UK and the US for a minute, but it's definitely forgotten next to Rock Me Amadeus.
'Eighty-Two Tombstones' by John Zacherle, "The Cool Ghoul" - follow-up to 'Dinner with Drac' (#6 Billboard)
Ok, last one, I promise, The Human Beinz had a #8 hit with Nobody But Me. This was there next single. I think it should have been a hit too. Fans of The Grateful Dead should know this song, Turn On Your Love Light
That’s not the definition, I think. You just had one hit, but you may have released follow ups to try and get another, right?
