Eh... there's also Come as you are, In Bloom and Lithium that still get a lot of air play. I think I hear Lithium more than any of the others honestly. The Unplugged version of "All Apologies" still gets a lot of play. Plus obviously, "The Man Who Sold The World" if we're talking about Unplugged, to the extent it frustrated David Bowie to a degree that their cover loomed over him any time he'd perform the song after. |

Another one that comes to mind is “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People.
It reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Nothing else they’ve done has even reached the Top 40 so far though they came close with a song that reached #42.

Macklemore had other hits besides Thrift Shop. I heard a lot of Can’t Hold Us but also had Same Love, White Walls and Downtown crack the top 20 on Billboard

I would say this is more of a Signature Song thread

I remember Todd in the Shadows once saying he gets a lot of requests to do a One Hit Wonderland video for Fastball's "The Way", completely ignoring they had other rather sizable hits with "Out of My Head" and "You're an Ocean".

Sir Mix-A-Lot had years of hits before "Baby Got Back," but since that was an absolutely monster crossover smash nothing else hits that level. Posse on Broadway,My Hooptie,Buttermilk Biscuits and crap what was the song he did with Metal Church? All stuff I heard on the radio long long before Baby got back hit. I love seeing greatest hits comps for bands/acts that have no hits. Like The Ramones,still my favorite band since I was 5ish,but they had no legit hits. Nothing made top 40 in the States. How many greatest hits comps did the band ,blaming lots of this on Johnny and Marky,after Joey passed.... 7 Mary 3 is another One hit wonder with two hhits. Yea most have heard Cumbersome. But Water's edge was also a hit back then. |

Jimmy Eat World's had quite a few hits between Sweetness, Bleed American, and Pain. But The Middle eclipses them all. "Sweetness" is legitimately one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Weirdly, I'm not even a huge Jimmy Eat World fan. I like them fine, but for that one song, they were perfect. |

"Old Apartment" is legitimately one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Co-signed. That song f***ing slaps. I'm actually seeing them in July Same. and, Same. |

"You're an Ocean" is such an awesome track. Billy Preston's piano work is a thing of beauty. Also: People seem to forget that Men Without Hats had a sizable hit with "Pop Goes the World." The accompanying album is killer - one of my favorite concept albums of all time. Tons of variety. Case in point: |

And there's the Unplugged version of "About a Girl" which still gets a decent amount of play. |

Feels like Cheap Trick despite being hall of famers only gets recognized for “Surrender,” and “I want you to want me.”

Didn't Lou Bega have another MODEST (key word) hit after Mambo #5 or did I dream that?
