Thank you for an insight into 90s two hit wonders. I'm guessing Sugababes version of 'Freak Like Me' is more famous than the original. Curtis Stigers - I actually like both hits. A bit of a slightly jazzy version of Michael Bolton. My Mum liked both of his songs. Inner Circle did have a few minor hits as mentioned, all of those songs charted here in the UK. 'Jessie' was a hit in 1995 here. Decent ballad. Sad about Melanie Thornton. Marky Mark.....he became an actor. I really like both Paula Cole songs - both are underrated. Robin S - technically the same song. Scatman John...at least before he died he had the chance to make songs and show off his talents. Ugly Kid Joe, I always remember the sex doll in 'Everything About You' video oddly enough 😂.

[@rjjcms1]

Several of those on this video had more than two hits in the UK,several only one.

The first half of the 1990s was dominated by the alternative music scene from Seattle and Manchester. New genres such as grunge, shoegaze, baggy, Britpop, etc. But radio stations were still sticking to their "safe" music styles such as dance music, pop singers, and hard rock.

The video had images of the fall of the Berlin Wall and was so powerful. They also took inspiration from Prince (Sign O' Times) which was I think his best album hands down.

I used to listen to that Jesus Jones album pretty often back in the day, although I have to admit I also had the Vanilla Ice album on cassette and ended up giving it to my best friend's son cause he liked the music while other than "Ice Ice Baby" I thought it sucked.

When I was in high school, we won some recycling contest for the school district. Our reward was Blaque came to our school for a concert. We were all led out to the football stadium and sat in the bleachers. Their dancers had their clothes falling off of them, inappropriate for a high school audience. No one cared about the concert. Also, as was popular during that time, someone had called a b-o-m-b threat into the school. So that is my memory.

I’m sure a lot of artists have great catalogs but having great catalogs doesn’t necessarily mean hit records. She legitimately has two hit records in the US and that’s all therefore she qualifies for this list. You guys get weird with these one/two hit wonder lists. It’s like you don’t understand what’s being defined here. You seem to think having good songs immediately means having multiple hit records. Like Jimi Hendrix is one hit wonder but that guy has like 50 or 60 amazing songs.
