List Of 1990s One-hit Wonders In The United States

This is a list of musical artists whose one American hit came out in the 1990s.

The list contains recording artists who reached the Top 40 of the U.S. pop chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with just one single. In some special cases, an "A" may appear next to the peak position, denoting that the act's only Top 40 hit was on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. In these cases, a commercial single was not released, therefore disqualifying it from the main Billboard Hot 100 chart; this rule was revoked after December 5, 1998.

Those in italics are artists with only one Top 40 hit, but either

  • had other songs chart on genre-specific charts
  • have had success and influence within their genre or the annals of popular music and/or
    • a long-lasting and devoted cult following and/or
      • wider success in other fields of the music industry
  • are a non-American act who have had wider success in their homeland
  • are a supergroup made up of artists who were successful and influential in other bands or as solo artists.

    “Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    “Prior to the meeting, there was a prayer. In general, in the United States there was always praying.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize.... And a man who is puzzled and wonders thinks himself ignorant ...; therefore since they philosophized in order to escape from ignorance, evidently they were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.”
    —Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    “Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
