International One Hit Wonders
To qualify as a "One Hit Wonders" an act has to have a single song in as many charts as possible, a second hit anywhere would disqualify them. There are plenty of acts that only had a single hit in a particular market, for example in the US Nena with "99 Red Balloons", however she also had plenty of hits in her own country, so she clearly doesn't qualify here. The second issue is that there must be a way to compare hits across the years, from say the 1940s and the 1970s.
The consolidated data gives us a list of the acts that have only had a single song in the international charts. A simple summing of their scores would just tell us in which years we have lots of source chart information, so the scores are adjusted (in the same way as they are for the greatest songs list) to take into account the total number of input chart entries in each year. The result is shown above, each dot represents a song. The bigger scores show the most successful. Clearly one song (from 1986) stands out.
One question is which decade has the highest proportion of these type of hits. If we work out the percentage of all entries that qualify for each decade we have the blue bars above. As can be seen the propotion of the entries that qualify as "One Hit Wonders" has been increasing steadily since the 1950s and clearly the charts since 2000 have been the "best" (or is that "worst") decade for them. Part of this is, of course, is the fact that any act that had its first hit in 2005 may not have had enough time to get a second hit, but even taking that into account the 2000s rate seems high.
The shorter bars show the proportion of the acts that are in the highest scoring 1000 entries. For the 1920s and 1930s the small number of chart entries results in most of the acts being in this high scoring group. The 1990s were clearly characterised by having lots of easily forgotten one-off hits. This statistic seems to indicates that the most memorable "one hit wonder" songs are from the 1970s, 1960s and 1950s.
So here it is, the list of the 200 most widely internationally successful one hit wonders from the last 100 years.

It seems there are three main categories of act that qualify:
- Acts specially created for a single song, for example "USA For Africa"
- Duets or trios of otherwise successful acts that came together for a song, for example David Bowie & Mick Jagger.
- True "One hit Wonders" that recorded just a single success, such as "Hot Butter".
