The term "one-hit wonder" is often used to describe a musical artist or band who has achieved a significant level of commercial success with a single hit song, but has been unable to replicate that success with subsequent releases. Some alternative terms for a one-hit wonder include flash in the pan, shooting star, flavor of the week, and one-trick pony. These descriptive phrases imply that the artist or band's success was fleeting and may have been the result of luck or a passing trend, rather than sustained talent or originality. Regardless of how they are described, one-hit wonders have left an indelible mark on popular music history.
