Line 190:
* Quite possibly the quintessential One-Hit Wonder is Los del Rio, who you know as the duo who released the scourge on humanity known as the "Macarena" and absolutely nothing else.
** Additionally, it's not the original version that we all know and love. The well-known version is actually a remix by the Bayside Boys, which became popular probably because it added English lyrics, based in a techno remix of the original which was the version that became popular first in spanish-speaking territories.
** Los del Rio has been well known in flamenco music before and after "Macarena," but has had no interest in making another pop hit. Not that they didn't try with the unsuccessful follow
* "Heaven" by Los Lonely Boys. Say what you want about the song; the record was one of the very few aversions of the [[Loudness War]] to come out in the 2000s.
* Girl group Las Ketchup released in 2001 the infamous song "Aserejé" (also known as "The Ketchup Song" in non-Spanish language markets) and absolutely nothing else of relevance.
Line 196:
* Ecuadorian singer Gerardo is only remembered (in both English and Spanish markets) for his crossover hit "Rico Suave" released in 1991.
* Italian singer Gianluca Grignani got international success in 1995 with "Mi historia entre tus dedos", the Spanish version of his debut song "La mia storia tra le dita". Despite he still being active in Italy as of 2019, nothing he has released since has had the same success and cultural impact that "Mi historia..."
* Reggaeton producer and youtuber El Chombo has an actual one hit wonder to his name, the memetic 2005 song "Chacarron Macarron". He refuses to consider himself a one hit wonder artist, however, because he featured in and produced a number of successful songs, including ones who were actual one hit wonders by other artists, like Lorna's "Papi Chulo", Cutty Ranks' "Dame tu cosita" and Cracker Jack and Jr. Crack's "El Gato Volador".
