Welcome back to On That Note, @MeanDean/cyclones500’s weekly music series (with contributions from @CycloneRulzzz). This time, the focus is on songs that charted well, but faded somewhat from collective memory.
Some songs may exist as parts of collections (such as “hits of the decade” or genre-specific releases), but don’t get much “standalone” exposure anymore.
I plan to post clips along with year of release and top U.S. chart position (with occasional additional comments). This year/chart position is optional for all contributions, of course.
Key point: This topic differs from “one hit wonders,” which still tend to resurface. Most examples I found are by artists with multiple hits in top-40 range. (We’re bound to have exceptions along the way).
An example or two coming in my next post, to get us rolling. Meanwhile, chime in!
