Forgotten Dance Music (One Hit Wonder)

This post is about those bands that had those 1 time hits (which were very very popular) but never got to establish as a long-time career band, only had like 2 albums and puff... dead.

A.T.C. - Planet Pop (2001)

Famous song: "Around the World". Does anyone remember them? It was player over the radio again and again, and the video of the song kept on being played in the TV. Also, they released another famous song called "My Heart Beats Like a Drum".

Vengaboys - The Platinum Album (2001)

Famous song: "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)". A failed attempt to get back on the Mainstream scene. After their BIG success with the first album, they released this one but didn't go that well in the charts.


Vengaboys - The Party Album! (1999)

Famous song: "We Like to Party". Ahhhhh how can anyone forget that song, I bet you sing it or ask someone today about it and everyone will remember it and they even WILL KNOW THE LYRICS! That song was a total ICON in the society. Then, they released the "Boom Boom Boom Boom" song, which also got very famous.

Aqua - Aquarium (1997)

Famous song: "Barbie Girl". The Legendry Aqua! Young adults that don't have this CD in their houses, simply DIDN'T LIVE their youth in School! One of the famous 1-hit bands of all time! There are several good songs in this album. They also released a second album in 2000 (looking forward to get it too) which was a hit also, but they split due to artistic differences and well... the end.

Singles:
Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On (2004)

This song was a hit in the Mainstream U.S. Chart, I don't remember where I heard it first time, but I liked it very much, specially the extended mix that featured a girl. I bought this Single in Orlando back in 2005, I was kinda disappointed but blah...

Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom Boom (1999)

In the cover it says "the XXL version", but I suppose it's because this single has a lot of remixes of that song. Don't know WHY really I got this single...
