Billboard has named Daniel Powter, whose song “Bad Day” topped the Billboard charts for five weeks in 2006, the one-hit wonder of the decade. The magazine defined a one-hit wonder as any act whose second song didn’t reach the top 25. To be fair, it only considered the years 2000-2007, because last year’s hit-makers might still have another one up their sleeves.
Coming in at number 2 on Billboard’s one-hit wonder list is the Terror Squad for “Lean Back”; number 3 is Crazy Town with “Butterfly”; number 4 is MIMS with “This Is Why I’m Hot”; and number 5 is D4L’s “Laffy Taffy.”
