Biggest One-Hit Wonders Who Are Still Making Music

Hip hop superstar Missy Elliott co-produced and appears on the debut single from this American singer, who followed it with a moderately successful album. Currently signed to Big Crown Records, she now records and performs under the name Lady Wray.

The son of American jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, this Sweden-born musician recorded parts of his debut album in his bedroom studio. It became a massive success and sparked a long-running career, which includes collaborations and soundtrack contributions in addition to solo releases.

The lead single from her debut album, Jennifer Paige’s “Crush” reportedly sold 11 million copies around the world. She helped finance the recent album “Starflower” through Kickstarter and named it after her daughter.

As a frontman for hip-hop outfit House of Pain, Everlast was no stranger to success by the time he went solo. His debut album “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues” is certified 2X Platinum and it contains his biggest hit single to date.

This German singer reinterpreted an old Pérez Prado instrumental for his signature classic, which took dance floors by storm. His subsequent releases have performed better internationally than they have in the states. Bega’s latest single is a reinterpretation of the 1990s hit song “Macarena.”
