These songs succeeded to stick in the head of millions of listeners, but after all, their owners lost huge popularity, becoming almost forgotten and disappearing from a view. A one-hit wonder is a sad success for many musicians. The term hides the fact that the musician in his career had no more hits. Thus, a large number of artists waits in vain for their desired breakthrough after their one hit wonder success. Nevertheless, having only one hit is not a pity thing, because 99.9% of all musicians do not even manage to achieve this level. That is why it makes sense to consider this topic years after. Among the biggest one-hit-wonders of all time, there are a lot of good songs by talented performers, and especially the women. For this reason, we took it for granted to remember all those impressive works again.
