One-hit wonders in the UK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A one-hit wonder is a Top 40 phenomenon, the combination of artist and song that scores big in the music industry with one smash hit, but is unable to repeat the achievement with another hit. The term can refer to the artist, the song, or both together. The following were notable one-hit wonders in the United Kingdom:

It is important to note that this list contains artists who reached the top forty of the British singles chart with just one song. Additionally, an artist with two or more albums with a rank of one to forty inclusive on the British album sales chart may be taken off of this chart.
