Statistics reveal that Pink Floyd, one of the best-selling bands ever, is surprisingly categorized as a two-hit wonder. According to Chris Dalla Riva’s criteria, a two-hit wonder is defined as an artist or group with one top 10 hit and at least one other top 30 hit. Pink Floyd fits this description, despite their albums outselling their singles. They represent the archetype of artists on this list, primarily from the rock genre and known for selling more albums than singles. Another surprising entry is a-ha. Famous for their 1984 hit “Take On Me,” they also had a second hit, “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.,” which reached the top 30. Although a-ha enjoyed multiple hits outside the U.S., the Billboard Hot 100 focuses solely on American sales and streams.
