We decided to tackle bands/artists that were known for a single hit — i.e. “1 hit wonders”. Rather than just make a mix of well known 1-hit wonders (there are plenty of great ones out there already!), we decided we wanted to showcase other great songs from these bands. That perhaps there’s more than just that one song that is worth listening to!

We followed the format of picking 6 songs each for a total of 12— There are some bands that we admittedly had no idea they had such prolific careers (and that are still producing new music). We hope you enjoy and are inspired to dig deeper into music libraries as a result!
