Today is One-Hit Wonder Day. "National One-Hit Wonder Day was established by music journalist Steve Rosen back in 1990 to pay tribute to all of those who have had their fifteen minutes (or less) of fame and subsequently vanished, leaving the world with only a catchy (hopefully!) tune to remember them by. This day has been observed for more than two decades, and every year that adds new musicians to the list just makes the celebrations that much more rich and exciting." Source
