One Hit Wonders 2

At The BBC

It’s one of the reasons the music charts have always been so compelling:
the cruel reality that the exciting new act that has taken the Top 40 by
storm may not in fact be the next Beatles, Beyonce or even Basement Jaxx –
but could be one more case of here today, gone and forgotten tomorrow.

Or almost forgotten – because this is a look into the darkest corners
of the BBC’s music archives for a reminder of songs by the likes of The Las,
The Mock Turtles, Joan Jett and Kim Carnes. There are also some surprising
names on the list: Don Henley, Patti Smith, Curtis Mayfield and John Denver –
stars who perhaps enjoyed hit albums, or success with other groups,
but when it came to singles, once was sadly enough.
