It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day!

Hot Smoke and Sassafrass - Bubble Puppy

There She Goes - The La's
You Got Me Anyway - Sutherland Brothers & Quiver

"Where's Your Head At?" - Basement Jaxx
"Walking on the Sun" - Smash Mouth

Whaaaaaaaaaat, JJ Cale is a one hit wonder, I think not sir.

Probably any criteria that might be conjured up to define "one-hit wonder" will result in at least a few anomalies. But the list that has been linked to, https://top40weekly.com/all-one-hit-wonders/, clearly defines "one-hit wonder" as an artist or group having one and only one song released as a single that made the top 40, based apparently on Billboard’s "hot 100" listings. That seems to me to be as good a definition as any other that might be conjured up, and one which makes the listing as objective as possible.

And it appears that "Crazy Mama" was the only J. J. Cale single meeting that criterion.
