[@kendra.1]

When I hear 1000 Miles I think of Terry Crews😂

[@kevinwilkinson5415]

Always gotta do the head-shake aswell 😂

[@joseguzman5456]

Weird they did not mentioned that.

[@a1.ghost.]

La Roux also had success with the hit song: "In for the kill". I think this disqualifies them from being considered One-Hit Wonders imho

[@loralubimaia2783]

I'm not your toy was so good too

[@PedroVPalma]

I really dont agree that La Roux is a one hit wonder. But maybe she has more success in the lgbtqia + community

[@marvelfan8996]

That's correct

[@trinaq]

Shame that Vanessa Carlton never had another major hit. She always inspired me to literally drive a piano through town! 😂

[@michaellangwaller]

She is still performing and is currently working on a new album.

[@tywebb6561]

That is not something I thought I was gonna read today.

[@SokMunkie]

She did a duet with Santana

[@notyouraveragesouthernmama]

Nolita Fairytale is a bop!! I love how she crashes the piano in the MV.

[@johnhermes4112]

Vanessa was my first celebrity crush in elementary school l. I had started taking piano lessons a few years when “A Thousand Miles” came out.

[@MalloryS5523]

I think Bad Day gained popularity because it was used as the sendoff song on American Idol. That was when I first heard it. And downloaded it immediately.

[@marcus813]

I remember hearing it on the NFL's commercials for fantasy football from the late '00s through the early '10s.

[@SPXMAN45]

La roux's follow up albums have actually been really good especially Trouble in Paradise.

[@olliesmith2890]

Vanessa Carlton's brilliant A Thousand Miles, takes me back to my teens, plus i had a major crush on the lovely lady. Man i miss those days, so much better than this weird world lately.

[@ralphkjb]

Jet were actually a four hit wonder. Vanessa Carlton was actually a three hit wonder.

[@eddiejoewalt7746]

JET is Australian band and sometime mostly bands in their native Country are decried as 1 hit wonders in the US based on where their seconf single landed JUST ASKED MADNESS (SCORED A lot of hit singles in the UK but being label as 1 hit wonder with Our House) or A-HA

[@codymiller5168]

Yes Vanessa Carlson had other top 40 hits but most people didn't know. they didn't live up to 1000 miles.

[@andrewbloom7637]

​@@eddiejoewalt7746 A-ha had a second Billboard Top 40 hit with "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." in February 1986 (it reached #20), and Madness' "It Must Be Love" became their second Billboard Top 40 hit in October 1983, peaking at #33.

Ah, "Bad Day". The quintessential Target shopping song.

[@batemanlife]

Its unfortunate that the follow up "Stacy's Dad" did not sell as well.

[@jrebecca0195]

Jet isn't a "one hit wonder." They had hits with the songs "Coldhearted B*tch" and "Look What You've Done."

[@rickyhood8213]

FYI, it is just "Cold Hard B*tch"

[@staceylavon7219]

OMG 😆 they used to sing 🎤 “Stacey’s Mom” when I walked down the hallways in high school 😂

[@WinsberryEntertainment]

I used to at school as well. Replacing the name Stacey with whoever was in eye sight.

[@williamleslie4939]

As Robin Scott said after coming off the hype for "Pop Muzik", "I had one hit, how many have you had?" Fair enough!

[@DavidDoom95]

Bulletproof, A Thousand Miles, and Bad Day are pure 2000s classics

[@jamalvargas6146]

Wasn't that a Lil Wayne piss poor attempt at rock though? Would seem to fall more under him than Kevin Rudolf

[@Volkaroar]

@@frostbite3820 did I stutter? It was Lil Wayne's track, not Kevin Rudolf's. Kevin was the one that was featured on it. If Let It Rock was your example of rock music then you've been introduced to some really poor material at a very young age. I feel for you actually.

[@zakirstocks9514]

Vanessa Carlton's *A Thousand Miles* from 2002, Daniel Powter's *Bad Day* from 2005, La Roux's *Bulletproof* from 2009 and Baha Men's *Who Let the Dogs Out?* from 2000 are all Super Nostalgic and Memorable from my Childhood Years. They'll always have Special Place in my Heart Forever.

[@leiamims3633]

I was an adult when those songs came out! I loved them!

[@vinceely2906]

People forget that artists have a whole life to put into their debut. Then are expected to follow it up a year later after doing nothing but plugging their debut. No wonder it’s tough to match a breakout song.

La Roux's "Bulletproof" sounds like it could've been in one of those Mega Man video games that came out for the NES. As for the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out," I listen to only the remix. I feel that's vastly superior to the original mix.

1) I will despise "Stacy's Mom" until the day I die. It wasn't musically interesting or lyrically clever, and the whole MILF thing had already been done to death (imho) by the time it was released. 2) As far as Vanessa Carlton goes, I wish she'd had mercy on us by making "A Thousand Miles" her ONE hit, like a TRUE one-hit wonder. "Ordinary Day" and "Yellow Taxi" were both a thousand times worse & almost just as popular.
