https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpeIsj3vhFw
this was by far their second-biggest hit, since nothing else they did really charted anywhere. |
Date: April 11th, 2025 5:28 PM Author: Mustard bull headed faggot firefighter sanctuary singer Freedy Johnston's biggest hit by far was 1994's 'Bad Reputation,' a moderate success on mainstream and alternative radio of the time. however, he did have one additional single which made the airwaves - his 2001 cover of Edison Lighthouse's 'Love Grows':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNkgDJpcuwU
he tried to regain the magic a couple years later in 1995 with 'Christmas in Blobbyland':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OggFor5VXtM
however, it only got to #36, and was considered a bit of a disappointment. nonetheless, it remains his second-biggest hit, since nothing else from mr. blobby charted at all. |

Date: April 21st, 2025 6:57 PM Author: Mustard bull headed faggot firefighter sanctuary los del rio scored one of the biggest hits of the 90's with a 1995 remix of their song 'macarena.' and we don't have to venture far to find their second-biggest single - a long-forgotten 1996 christmas remix of the very same song called 'Macarena Christmas':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMffYsGkzU4
but does that really count? what was their third-biggest release? that, in fact, was the original non-remixed version of macarena from 1993:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tajwkc22SE
can we go further? did they have a #4 hit unrelated to the fucking macarena? yes, kind of. it would be their 1999 track 'Baila, Baila'"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPsKSCypegY
otherwise, their music simply did not export very well from spain itself.

she never managed to repeat the success of Toy Soldiers, but her 1991 collaboration with Prince "Love, Thy Will Be Done" did briefly make the top 10 on the billboard singles chart:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10V_Z0_udjg
and by 'make,' i mean #10. that's as high as it went. as it happens, her husband Nikki Lee is one of the few 'true' one-hit wonders who had precisely one charting single and nothing else:

Date: May 13th, 2025 2:59 AM Author: Mustard bull headed faggot firefighter sanctuary the primitive radio gods actually go back into the 1980's, when they were a local band in southern california called 'i-rails.' they released a few singles, eg:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JndwtCZI-8g
but did not chart. it wasn't until 'standing outside a broken phone booth...' in 1996 that the renamed band got any attention at all. unfortunately, their follow-up single was called 'Motherfucker,' which limited its commercial appeal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri_giYr7g-0
however, they did have a minor comeback with the soft-rock single 'Fading Out' in 2000:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEfH7TzDwEg
this was their second-biggest hit. they continued releasing singles and albums after that, some of which were well-reviewed, for instance:

Date: May 13th, 2025 7:54 PM Author: Mustard bull headed faggot firefighter sanctuary folk implosion started as a side-project from the band sebadoh, mostly following sebadoh's slacker-rock sound, but somewhat more dissonant and aggressive. but their moodier, synth-driven track 'Natural One' became a hit after appearing on the soundtrack for the movie 'Kids' in 1995.
though folk implosion continued releasing albums and singles, only one appeared to chart anywhere - 1999's 'Free to Go,' which was a minor hit in the UK:
