User:Holiday56/List of 2010s one-hit wonders in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the United States, a one-hit wonder is defined as an artist who scores a single top forty hit on the national singles chart. Thirty-three recording artists obtained their sole top forty hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the 2010s, attaining one-hit wonder status. An artist is defined as a one-hit wonder based solely on Billboard chart performance; other factors—such as influence in music genres, success and prominence in other fields of entertainment and success in other countries or genre-specific charts—are not acccounted for.
