In light of the discourse about who can qualify as a One Hit Wonder, here’s Chris Molanphy’s criteria

Link to the original piece in the Village Voice: https://www.villagevoice.com/100-single-three-rules-to-define-the-term-one-hit-wonder-in-2012/

1. A second hit that makes the Top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot 100 instantly removes an artist from one-hit wonder status.
2. An act that scores a second hit that makes the Top 40 on the Hot 100 shall not be considered a OHW, unless that second hit is scored within six months of the first hit & is never followed by another Top 40 hit.
3. Any act that scores at least three Top 10 or platinum albums is removed from OHW consideration entirely.

Thoughts on this three-pronged test for determining whether or not an artist is eligible for OHW status?
