The best-o'-the-decade lists are coming in fast and furious now -- DeRo's music picks will be coming shortly to his blog -- and we love Billboard's list up today of the aughts' best one-hit wonders.
The one-hitter of the 21st century thus far? Daniel Powter's "Bad Day."
Powter's "Bad" song reigned on top of the Billboard pop charts for five weeks in 2006. It's also been licensed to films, commercials, TV soundtracks, you name it. For a while, you couldn't turn on an electronic device without hearing it.
Billboard's definition of a "one-hit wonder": an act whose second hit did not reach the top 25; they only included acts from 2000 to 2007, since someone from last year might just be taking a break.
