Our next set of honorary mentions goes to those who impressed the world once but felt victims of that difficult follow-up syndrome. Some of them just had the usual one-off summer smash and promptly disappeared; some others won prestigious awards; became well established stars or went to sell millions on the strength of that one song that was never bettered, nor even equaled afterwards. The following 10 are our favorite one hit wonders of the noughties:
10-JUNIOR SENIOR-Move Your Body (see video above)
9-PANJABI MC-Mundian To Bach Ke
8-THE POLYPHONIC SPREE-Soldier Girl
7-MS DYNAMITE-Dy-Na-Mi-Tee
6-THE DARKNESS-I Believe In A Thing Called Love
5-GOSSIP-Standing In The Way Of Control (Soulwax Nite Version)
4-BADLY DRAWN BOY-Disillusion
3-CSS-Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above
2-KLAXONS-Golden Skans
1-THE KILLERS-Mr. Brightside

Hopefully, CSS, The Gossip and Klaxons will be able to move past their curse of the one hit wonders.
