No-Hit Wonder: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

The music business can be quite fickle. For every [[One-Hit Wonder]], there's at least one act who manages a streak of hits that lasts for decades, or at least a handful of big hits.

Then there's the [[No-Hit Wonder]], an artist who proves commercially successful, or at least manages to have a long career, without having a hit at all. While there are other ways an artist can achieve success besides having hits (such as album sales and concert attendance), it's considered rare since album sales are generally driven by popularity of individual songs, and artists with no hits tend not to develop enough of a fanbase to make their concerts well-attended. In many cases, a [[No-Hit Wonder]] will have had singles that never went anywhere on the charts, but which are still well-known and well-loved by a large number of people.
