One-hit wonder

In creative industry, a one-hit wonder is an artist that achieves mainstream success with one work or product, only to never achieve it again. The term is most commonly used and associated with popular music, where the phrase either refers to any musical artist, whether it be an individual or ensemble, that achieves only one hit song, or the one hit itself. However, the trend is also seen in film, video games, fashion, theatre, books and other industries. In recorded music, performers that only achieved commercial success with one single were first around in the pre-World War II, when sound recordings were first commercially circulated.
