I loved the music of the 90′s and still do today. It was the decade that saw the arrival of so many bands that became huge successes such as Radiohead and Green Day, which are still huge even today.

But, there were those bands that after having wowed us with their number one hit, suddenly disappeared into the abyss quicker than they had first emerged, like the saying goes, they entered in like a bolt of lightning but flew out like the wind.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest one hit wonders of the 1990s. There’s a better chance that you’ll remember these bands’ songs than their actual names themselves, so I’ll mention both of these.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s, everyone loved that song and it has been played again and again ever since. It was near the top end of the charts for some time but who can remember the band that sung it?

I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t, because they never neared the success of this hit anytime after. Their name was Deep Blue Something, and they are one of the quintessential 1990s one hit wonders.

Try another one, “The Way” which was a hit during the late 90′s and loved by many. This one actually still gets played even today but the band never managed to make another song as good at that one.

The Rembrandts, they are my third temporary sensation to make the list. Their hit song is played and listened to every day and many people wouldn’t even be able to put the name of the band to the hit song.

That song, I’ll Be There For You, no not Bon Jovi but the one that was used as the theme song in Friends. It was really popular at the time but the band faded out not long after that hit was released.

Now that the 2000′s have ended there shall be a new list of one hit wonders emerging, but who will be on it?
