Becoming a one hit wonder must suck for those artists wanting music to be a life long career but I think most people would like to be one hit wonders instead of no hit wonders. Depending on how well that one song pops off it could literally set your entire life up financially. If you play your cards smart that is.

@joshhale9355

3 ай бұрын

It’s weird being a one hit wonder, you either chase the hit you had or stay in your lane. Plenty of “one hit wonders” keep making the music they want and live off the royalties of that one one hit or they chase the game to get another hit. A lot of indie artists get hits and that fuels their careers for a long time, some other artists (usually in rap, pop, and R&B) try to trend hop to stay relevant. It’s always interesting to see someone like Gotye, Portugal the Man, and Foster the People be considered “one hit wonders” when they’re highly celebrated in indie music but can live comfortably off of all the royalties from one single song.

They only get to play the cards allowed to be played doesn't matter what strategy you go in with they hold every and all cards and play fair & unfair at will. But usually of the artist is willing to be used then success will come. Artists who think they are not going to participate become one hit wonders that they don't profit from.

I'm glad you included Ylvis (The Fox) and told the real story behind that song. So many people still believe that 1) they were trying to become singers and 2) after The Fox, they became completely irrelevant. When that's not true at all. It's the same with PSY and Gangnam Style. Both songs were meant to be "inside jokes" in their respective countries/fanbases, but it blew up worldwide thanks to the internet. PSY also still has a great career in Korea.

PSY isnt even a one-hit wonder, he's basically Korean Michael Jackson. He has his own label, which had big artists like HyunA (though HyunA is not as famous anymore now) He just stopped being the only face of Korean music. And his impact on introducing Korean-language songs to the world led to the rise of k-pop groups like TWICE, NewJeans, BTS, LE SSERAFIM, BLACKPINK, EXO, and so, SO, many more. I like to say most people's first kpop song was Gangnam Style honestly. And also he still making hits, just not world-enders like Gangnam Style was when it dropped and exploded

The Silento story always hits me the hardest. When I was still in high school, I had wondered what happened to him and saw an interview where he's talking about how he missed out on his youth -- i think a clip of it plays in this video -- he said that he was always a popular guy in high school, and he blew up at the mere age of 17. He missed homecoming, prom, everything because he was touring the world. He looks so sad in the interview. Compared to Silento's appearance on The Rap Game while he was still attending Redan High School (a small school in Atlanta of only 900 kids, easy for him to become popular), he tries to play off being a rapper while in high school as easy AF. In the aforementioned interview, the interviewer asks if he still goes to prom, and Silento shrugs and says that sometimes he'll take out a few girls and pull up to a high school prom. Mind you, he was like 20 in that interview. Obviously there's a negative social stigma of doing high school things once you've graduated, but this was on a whole new level of depressing. It seems so APPARENT that Silento was trying to capture his golden years that slipped right out of his hands

Ylvis was basically the Swedish version of the Lonely Island (Andy Samberg). The Lonely Island put out song parodies on SNL in the 2000's (Lazy Sunday, D%$# in a Box, I Just Had Sex, I'm On a Boat) and even had a Spinal Tap-type parody movie. So What Does the Fox Say was a joke song that blew up.

I was Trinidad James' DJ in 2013. I did his first radio interview & first 2 shows in Florida before he got signed to Def Jam. Very cool dude. Humble. Always did good business. The NY radio situation was definitely a detriment to his career. It was one of the reasons he moved to LA. He told the truth about Atlanta artists "running NY radio" it was the so-called RIGHT MESSAGE but from the WRONG MESSENGER. NY radio/labels got in their feelings. "Females Welcomed" was a HIT. Def Jam purposely fumbled it and didn't promote it claiming they didn't know how to which was bs. Nothing but respect for him 🫡

man I really feel for silent. He did wrong with the murder. But he grew up miserably. Got to the top too early, was milked then dropped. Damn that has to be a huge toll on the mental. On top of that he is even in prison now

I feel like you can spot a flame out by that French Montana feature on a debut album. I saw that and thought "he's not long for this career!"

Silento is doing life. He's never getting out.

So I like your content, but it just reminds me of Todd in the shadows. Which I'm assuming the inspiration must have came from him in particular. Which kudos you should do a collaboration with him when you can

Trinidad was featured on one of the best songs of that time with August Alsina “I love it”

Silento has that song “dessert” which is quite popoular
