Although he has had a successful career in terms of albums and live shows he only ever had one hit single if you haven't heard or seen the performance on Top Of The Pops by (The Crazy World Of) Arthur Brown with Fire you have not lived, this guy set his head on Fire!
The record has one of the most striking intro's, ever a voice of pure evil pronuncing "I am the God of Hellfire and I bring you Fire" |

They may sing 'What's going on...' over and over... ...but the proper title is actually 'What's Up.' source - 'The Guiness book of British Hit Singles' - and here:- http://www.alwaysontherun.net/4non.htm (read the first line of the biography) |

![]() and remember a number 1, a number 75, another 75 and 3 number 73 does not make a one hit wonder that equals 6 hit records! |

Cracker. Preferred the remix to the acoustic though. They had a follow-up hit to that song which got to N.o.26(?). This was a few months after BOA as I was just graduating from Cambridge at the time. Not sure what it was called, but Mark & Lard used to use it as a bed on their weekday afternoon show on Radio 1, from its date of release til their last show in 2004. Cornershop were apparently trying to make a comeback a year or two ago, but it seemed to go down like a lead balloon. ![]() Apparently they only made one single, then they split up! |

How about Traci Lords off of the porn movies who was blatantly underage, with "Fallen Angel"? reached 21 in '95.. Only thing I'm not sure of is that she's an uncredited singer on "Little Baby Nothing" by Manic Street Preachers, number 29, 1992, so is she technically a one hit wonder or not? |
