I mean, if you were lucky to have "one hit", most record labels did everything in their power to have more, and that used to be in the form of an album. If you want to get more technical, how about artists who were a huge success on the R&B/Soul music chart, but had one pop hit, or at least one song that made the Top 10. Do you define one-hit wonder by the ultimate "pop hit"?

If you want to get into hip-hop, look at Sir Mix-A-Lot, Young MC, and Tone Loc as perfect examples? Up here in the Pacific Northwest, people will stop traffic if they hear "Posse On Broadway", "Square Dance Rap", "Buttermilk Biscuits", "Beepers", "Iron Man", or even "One Time's Got No Case", but he will forever be known as the "Baby Got Back" man, and he doesn't mind. I can name all of the singles off of STONE COLD RHYMIN', but most pop listeners may not realize Young MC had other hits. Same with Tone Loc.

Don't mind me, I'm getting analytical for the sake of it.
