one hit wonder
one hit wonder，指代一個歌手或者組合只有一首成功的單曲。歌手實在太多，舉不勝舉，所以各大電視台和雜誌也曾經做過此類的評選：而在中國說到“One Hit Wonder”話，首先附上腦海的歌手便是那些一夜成名的網路歌手，比如“東北人都是活雷鋒”，“老鼠愛大米”。
一首歌的奇迹，它可以從歌手和歌曲兩個角度來解釋，但是意思不變: 指代一個歌手或者組合只有一首成功的單曲（然後便銷聲匿跡）有時也會指一首歌只有被某個特定的歌手或者組合演唱時才是成功的。
在中外歌壇上這樣的One Hit Wonder歌手實在太多，舉不勝舉，所以各大電視台和雜誌也曾經做過此類的評選：而在中國說到“One Hit Wonder”話，首先附上腦海的歌手便是那些一夜成名的網路歌手，比如“東北人都是活雷鋒”，“老鼠愛大米”。
