I didn't even know SoulDecision made it into America.  They had a whole bunch of hits here in Canada as SoulDecision and their former name InDecision :)

Eamon - "F*** It (Don't Want You Back)"
Mr. Cheeks - "Lights Camera Action"

Eamon - "F*** It (Don't Want You Back)"



Easily the funniest song I've ever heard.  The line "f*ck you, you whore....I don't want you back" cracks me up each and every time I hear it.  I can't help but laugh.  The guy says it with so much venom, you wonder if he's going to jump off a bridge in the next verse.


And "Turn Me On" by Kevin Lyttle was a good song.  I liked it, as it was played a lot on the radio down here and by nature of that, it grew on me.  Shame the video sucked as much as it did; with a hot song like that, the video could have been real cool, but it was hella dumb.

Oh yes...I remember most of those artists. However, I think "Crazy For This Girl" was popular in mid-2000; I think I remember hearing it then (maybe our friend Ellipsis will confirm this for us). ::)

Some that haven't been mentioned yet:

Nine Days... had a hit in mid-2000 with "Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)."
Jimmy Eat World...their only big hit was "The Middle" (2002)...although they probably might not be considered a OHW to some.

I might think of more later.

"Crazy For This Girl" peaked in March 2001 at no. 15 on the Hot 100, it was out and on the charts in the Fall of 2000 though, the peak of it's popularity was in early 2001 however which is why I said early 2001.  ;)

Eamon - "F*** It (Don't Want You Back)"
Mr. Cheeks - "Lights Camera Action"
Killer Mike - "A.D.I.D.A.S."
I never heard of Bad Ronald. I remember the other songs on your list though.

Oh i have another one hit wonder to add to this list. What about "Rapture Tastes (So Sweet") by IIo. That was another one-hit wonder techno act. Another one hit wonder would be Alice Deejay with "Better Off Alone" I think "Better Off Alone" was a hit in 2000 I believe.

No Stone Sour  has a hit on his hands with the song called "Through Glass" currently.


That song got to #25 here in Canada and I believe it broke the Top 20 in the Netherlands.  Sadly, It only got to #98 in the UK and #45 in the US  :\'(

What's more amazing is how non rap songs even reach the US chart.  I still find it shocking how so much rap and hip-hop dominates Billboard :o

Yeah I don't really get it either, maybe their airplay counting system is unfair or something.

At least this year, we've had some non-rap songs reach the #1 spot, but I won't talk about them here.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I think The Calling may be a one hit wonder of the 2000's; the only hit of theirs I know of is "Wherever You Will Go", from late 2001. If Ellipsis wants to correct me, he's gonna have to sign up as a member.

There was so much rap/hip-hop on the charts from 03-05 because rock music was in a rut. Rap music was so rebilluous(03-05) the way rock music was in the 80's and 90's in my opinion. I still see rap on the charts but you also see alot of A/C pop and modern rock songs on the charts in 2006. Obviously rap has to innovate for the 2010's because I don;t think sex/glam rap is going to go on for 2 straight decades(the 00's and 10's.)

Then allow me to do what ellipsis cannot :D

"Wherever You Will Go" is (so far) the only US Hit for The Calling.  They have had a bunch of other international hits

One from the Billboard Chart ...

"Wasting My Time' by Default.  It hit #13 in 2002 and was their only entry in the Billboard Hot 100, though they had other hits on the Rock chart.  They had other hits in Canada

Make that three straight decades for gangsta rap (although not so much for the early '90s, outside of NWA alums and Snoop.) But honestly, I'm getting sick of gangsta rap. Hip hop has so much more diversity to it than "bling bling" and "bangin' ho's."

Um the rap artists out there now they aren't gangsta rap they fit in the category of sex/glam rappers. I think gangsta rap was 92-96 with "Death Row" in the 90's. The 97-02 Rap music was more R&B influenced. Pre 1992 was old school rap with groups like "A Tribe Called Quest", and "Brand Nubian" and "Public Enemy".

Ruff Endz-I think they had a follow-up hit to "No More" called "Someone To Love You".
Bloodhoung Gang: They had a hit in 1996 with that song that had the lyrics Burn Mother F***** Burn. I can't remember the title of the song though.



THe bloodhound gang had a few hits:

Fire,water,burn (the roof is on fire) (we dont need no water let the mutha F::ka burn)

Other lyrics to their song include : "You and me baby aint nuthin but mammal so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel".

Here is a link to the one hit wonder ketchup song by las Ketchup ( I actually do like this song too).
