OJ has a handful of One Hit Wonders that have made history, ones that have broken records in music over the last couple of decades.

Songs like Las Ketchup's The Ketchup Song (Asereje), as it was the best-selling hit of 2002 in 8 countries. The Tornados with Telstar, as it was the first US number one by a British group, and Daniel Powter with Bad Day, as it was the first song in the US to sell 2 million digital copies.

How many One Hit Wonders do you remember from over the years? The songs from artists who were huge in the charts... but only managed it once!
