Have you ever wondered what happened to the bands and artists known as one-hit wonders and where they disappeared to after they had their moment of fame? Or why their spark of popularity was destined to fizzle out? Well, in 366 Days of One-Hit Wonders, Matt Whitaker reveals all about these ephemeral smash hits. In 366 Days of One-Hit Wonders, Matt Whitaker evaluates a year's worth of one-hit wonders, ordering them by the day in history where they reached their peak on the Billboard Hot 100. He shows how even songs which pioneered a musical movement such as Jive Bunny and the Mastermixer's "Swing the Mood", which anticipated the remix insurgence in the 1990s, were unable to cling onto their initial momentum, and fade from existence. From band-breakups to falling public interest, there are a plethora of reasons why the bands and artists responsible for these popular songs were not able to replicate their success. And Matt Whitaker gives an in-depth contextualization to these unexpected downfalls.
