WTF, that list has several artists that had a lot of hits, Jamiroquai and The Verve come to mind.
You should take a serious look at that list and check your sources, or you'll end up with a "some 1-hit wonders, tho some have like ten hits but hey!" compilation

When me and Krisha saw the Disco Biscuits the night before this past NYE, we were all tripped out on acid and they broke out this electro-funk cover of Safety Dance. It was awesome.

My favorite one hit wonder of all time is These Boots Were Made for Walking by Nancy Sinatra. The video is sooooo freaking cheesy, but I love that song!

Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth With Money In My Hand
OK Go - Get Over It
I don't know if either of those were really one hit wonders, but those are the only songs I've heard of from either.

It's a list of popular songs, but it's a poor one hit wonder list. Try this article instead:
