Ever wish for more from your favorite one-hit wonder? From earworms like Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping" to icons like Sinead O'Connor, pop music has seen plenty of promising careers frustratingly flatline after that one big hit.
Browse through this collection of 25 talented one-hit-wonder artists who left us hungry for more.
