That's such a classic 80's sound.

Someone has actually come up with a formula to classify "One Hit Wonders"

The starting point was compiling a list of 226 alleged one-hit wonders, pulled from countdowns from the BBC, VH1, Rolling Stone and more, and assessing the Spotify data for these acts.

The key figure here is the "secondary success rate" between these acts' biggest hit and their second-most streamed song.

That secondary success rate is expressed as a percentage to account for the huge difference in streaming numbers, making it much easier to compare

And according to them the winner is Tommy Tutone

Hit: 867-5309/Jenny (1981). Streams: 109,480,514

Miss: White Flag (2023). Streams: 11,284

Secondary success rate: 0.01 per cent
