this was by far their second-biggest hit, since nothing else they did really charted anywhere. |
Date: April 11th, 2025 5:28 PM Author: Dun medicated center singer Freedy Johnston's biggest hit by far was 1994's 'Bad Reputation,' a moderate success on mainstream and alternative radio of the time. however, he did have one additional single which made the airwaves - his 2001 cover of Edison Lighthouse's 'Love Grows':

he tried to regain the magic a couple years later in 1995 with 'Christmas in Blobbyland':

however, it only got to #36, and was considered a bit of a disappointment. nonetheless, it remains his second-biggest hit, since nothing else from mr. blobby charted at all. |

Date: April 21st, 2025 6:57 PM Author: Dun medicated center los del rio scored one of the biggest hits of the 90's with a 1995 remix of their song 'macarena.' and we don't have to venture far to find their second-biggest single - a long-forgotten 1996 christmas remix of the very same song called 'Macarena Christmas':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMffYsGkzU4
but does that really count? what was their third-biggest release? that, in fact, was the original non-remixed version of macarena from 1993:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tajwkc22SE
can we go further? did they have a #4 hit unrelated to the fucking macarena? yes, kind of. it would be their 1999 track 'Baila, Baila'"

otherwise, their music simply did not export very well from spain itself.

she never managed to repeat the success of Toy Soldiers, but her 1991 collaboration with Prince "Love, Thy Will Be Done" did briefly make the top 10 on the billboard singles chart:

and by 'make,' i mean #10. that's as high as it went. as it happens, her husband Nikki Lee is one of the few 'true' one-hit wonders who had precisely one charting single and nothing else:
