Day 21 - One-Hit Wonder
Play something lesser-known from someone mostly known as a one-hit wonder to celebrate Gangnam Style becoming the first YouTube video to hit 1 billion streams on this day 9 years ago

They are pretty much only known for that one song...but the there are others here that aren't too bad, either.

The Proclaimers – Sunshine On Leith
Chrysalis – FV 41668, 1988

I love that album, so much more than just that "one song"
Sunshine on Leith is such a great track

They got world famous with the single Come on Eileen from their second album but, their debut is some fine Northern Soul.

Day 21: One Hit Wonder

Gary Lewis best known for his song with the Playboys, This Diamond Ring put out a lovely psychedelic treat in 1967. My mom picked this album up back then and now I have it. I really recommend this album, it’s a lovely little gem. And you can hear Lewis do his version of Reason to Believe.

Day 21: One Hit Wonder

One hit wonders are a funny thing sometimes. I don’t have much on vinyl that I would consider a one hit wonder. Cd or digital is another story. So I went to the inter web and it told me that Dr John Right place wrong time was a one hit wonder.

Day 21 - One Hit Wonder

Did Oingo Boingo have any songs besides "Dead Man's Party"? Regardless, forever grateful for this band & album being the one to get me into vinyl collecting, and the memories of my family spinning this album and singing along to the only song we knew.

Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party

Didn’t get to play as much as I wanted last night, so I’m going to have to play at least some digital albums or else I’m gonna fall hopelessly behind in the next week away from my turntable.

Day 17 | Payday
Freeway & Jake One - The Stimulus Package
One of the more under-appreciated rappers teamed up with one of the more under-appreciated hip-hop producers and made a great album.

Wish I had snapped a picture of this because the CD packaging is awesome. The case is like a wallet and the liner notes are “dollar bills” and there’s a money band around the whole thing. My vinyl copy was used and didn’t have the money band, so not sure if the vinyl packaging was different.

Shaed – Melt
Outside of "Trampoline" blowing up a bit due to being in an Apple commercial a few years ago, they haven't had much notoriety.
