I'd encourage a comparison of the data, one-hit-wonders | long term successes.

While the one-hitters get more the their fair share of mention, perhaps, comparing the number of longer term successes to one timers might be of value.

Again because bidness.


The newly signed artist, whether songwriter, performer or both, does represent an investment and much has been done to insure success along those lines, sometimes the "whatever it takes" campaign is launched on the "project".

Might have to analyze the reasons for dropout after first hit as well. For some, it is not the life it is cracked up to be, so they do not pursue it further. One hit by choice vs one hit via lack of capabilities.


I think you'll find that the long term successes outnumber the one hit wonders.
