There are two kinds of one-hit wonders: The ones that march through the decades in infamy...and the ones that peak and then are forgotten, until they resurface in a trivia question. Or in a semi-ironic playlist.
"Business Insider" has a list of the top-selling one-hit wonders over the years. There's no precise definition of a 'one-hit wonder,' just artists who had one single that vastly outperformed any of their other tracks.
Here's the list:
1. "Somebody That I Used To Know", Gotye, 2011, 8x platinum
2. "Eye of the Tiger", Survivor, 1982, 8x platinum
3. "Let Her Go", Passenger, 2012, 6x platinum
4. "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)", Silentó, 2015, 6x platinum
5. "Panda", Desiigner, 2015, 5x platinum
