No...they had one hit and then disappeared into obscurity. Examples:
Los Del Rio - "Macarena" (1996)
Soft Cell - "Tainted Love" (1982)
Dexys Midnight Runners - "Come On Eileen" (1982)
Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy" (1991)
Toni Basil - "Mickey" (1982)
Baha Men - "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (2000)
Vanilla Ice - "Ice Ice Baby" (1990)
a-ha - "Take on Me" (1985)
Gerardo - "Rico Suave" (1991)
Nena - "99 Luftballons" (1984)

One hit wonder is an artist or a group/band that only had one hit in their entire musical career and then disappeared!
To "Richard R" above: You gotta respect Pink Floyd man!

listen to your question...1 hit wonder means 1 hit wonder babe. that usually means the singer is known for the 1 hit they came out with.

A "one-hit wonder" is an artist that had one popular song, but was never heard from again by the masses....they might put out more albums and songs, but they are never well known....examples...Khia (although she did just drop another album), Coo Coo Cal (In My Projects), Haddaway (What Is Love), Jon B (They Don't Know), etc etc...we've never really heard from these artists again

one hit wonder means that somebody came out of nowhere, had a hit, and then never had a good song ever again.

Band known for one hit. They may have had more success somewhere else.
