Why do some pop stars who have a mega-hit with their first single have problems repeating that success?
Some of them did not hit the dizzying heights of their first hit with the second single languishing in the lower reaches of the UK Top 40. Some had to try a few times before getting another hit. And then the most tragic of all stars that seemed to shine so brightly before saying Sayonara and setting sail into the sunset.
Some songs are obviously novelties and meant to be a one-off. But some 1-hit wonders are talented and respected like Kenny Loggins (Footloose was his only hit despite having many goodsongs) and Lisa Loeb. Is it the fickle nature of our charts compared to the US which is more predictable?
Here are some examples of classics that were sadly one-hit wonders :-
1. Stop - Sam Brown
2. Sunshine On A Rainy Day - Zoe
3. Hands To Heaven - Breathe
4. Lovin' You - Minnie Ripperton
5. Ring My Bell - Anita Ward
6. Sweet Love - Anita Baker
7. I Need To Know - Marc Anthony
8. All By Myself - Eric Carmen
9. Emotion - Samantha Sang
10. Black Velvet - Allanah Myles
Hence the term "It is better to be lucky than good". Seriously, sometimes an artist puts out a song that is so perfect for the current trends that it literally explodes... then tastes and trends shift while they work on their next release and they are not able to recreate that lightning in a bottle. Also, often times if an artist writes their on material their first album may contain songs that represent the best that they have written over the past 10 years and before fame. It is a little bit more difficult to write a hit on command than it is to pour over your years and years of notebook scribbles and songs. Lots of pressure.
