It's really good from top to bottom. I can't believe they weren't bigger. I haven't listened to the album they came out with a few years ago, though.

"Rockstar" was also a pretty big hit by N.E.R.D. "She Wants to Move" is actually their highest US chart hit from the Fly or Die album.
Pharell is a musical genius but oddly, he's probably better at writing hits for other people than his own bad.

Came out in 93. I stole it from my older brother and listened to it that whole summer. Great stuff.
The Deal sisters at their best.
Aimee Mann was in Til Tuesday? How did I not realize that?
Right? :smile: Makes a lot of sense when you learn it.
I like to pretend the guy in your .gif is Meatloaf, BTW.
Not a huge hit, but a good one anyway:

This song was headed for #1 until the next one hit the radio waves. Personally, I like Rock On much better.

Here's one I always liked. The only xylophone solo I think I've ever heard.

Thought this was catchy, not sure how big of a hit though.
Oops, somebody beat me to it.

Bang a Gong (Get It On) by T.Rex - YouTube
One of my favorites--the album is pretty good too. One of the band members got electrocuted while playing his guitar with wet socks, if I remember the story correctly.

Made it to #3 on the Hot 100 in 1988. Guess other people thought it was catchy, too.
That's also an "earworm song," cuz now it's stuck in my head. Thanks a heap...

Oh man, T.Rex is legendary. Mark Bolan died young. "Mambo Sun", "Cosmic Dancer", and "Jeepster" are three of my favorite songs ever. "The Slider" is also pretty good.
ok, to whoever left me the reputation comment (how can I check those!! I know I can but I can't remember!) yes, yes I was joking about Rebecca Black. I'll include the jimlad next time

On the topic of acts that I thought were one-hit wonders, I nominate Sweet. I assumed they were a one-hit wonder with "Ballroom Blitz", but apparently, they've had several high-charting singles:
