Current "One Hit Wonders"?

May 22, 2012 12:27 PM

I was listening to a song that I hated when it first came out, but it has grown on me. "Somebody that I used to know". I was thinking I wonder if this will be a one hit wonder. Are there any songs/artists out now that you predict will be a "one hit wonder?"

There are two types of people in this world, people who love that song and people who can't stand that song. I'm one type and my girlfriend is the opposite type.

Most of them...

Actually, the age of the one-hit wonders is nearly over. The digital age has made it easy for people to find more music from those artists and thus, sell more albums and prolong their awful career.

Of course, I could be wrong -- but I never am :)

I don't listen to enough new music to offer a good opinion on this one. I am stuck hopelessly in the classic rock/hair band era.

I saw your question and immediately thought of this song. While I agree with @capguncowboy as well about the digital age making more music from these artists more accessible, I still doubt that another song from this artist will be something that anyone will remember even in a year. However, I know I will still be singing this one in a few years and would remember it if I heard a few bars of it somewhere.

I do think it's funny how you can go from hating a song and then it grows on you. I think I listen to it at least once a day. And I agree with Cap too. If you have a nice body and can shake your a$$... you'll be around. :(

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
