Would have been #1 song of the year if it weren’t for Hey Jude.

“Brandy by the Looking Glass.”

That’s a good one.

So then you got to include

Ride Captain Ride

One reminds me of the other.

I would think ‘Green Eyed Lady’ by Sugarloaf should be included in the list...

Unfortunately Sugarloaf set the all-time record for time between #1 ‘hits’ with: ‘Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call you...’ so they are NOT, really one hit wonders...

IMO, the peak year for one-hit wonders was 1970:

Venus
Ma Belle Amie
Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
Spirit in the Sky
Vehicle
Reflections of My Life
O-o-h Child
United We Stand
Ride Captain Ride
My Baby Loves Lovin’
Are You Ready?
Tighter, Tighter
In the Summertime
All Right Now
Somebody’s Been Sleeping
Indiana Wants Me
Yellow River
Montego Bay

Would Dobie Gray be considered a one-hit wonder with Drift Away?

I was thinking of Clarence Carter with “Patches” but then years later he did “Strokin’”
