Adam Bernard: “The Stories of 40 One Hit Wonders” Digital and Physical Book 21st July 2026 Head First Entertainment.
A journalist who did tons of things for decades and a music lover. Has released what many as myself wanted to do and I always talked about. They are plenty of hit singles we still hear on the radio, we have in memories but the artists and their other songs we all have forgotten.
Once again it proves that a band or musician release one great song in his career and most who disappear have just one that stick to our mind. The real life of an artist, it’s sad but it’s real. Adam is writing about those artists, naming their songs the year and everything that matters to us.
It is rare I review a book, but this one in particular is talking to me as like Adam Bernard, I’ve grown up in the music environment and always thought about the fact artists make a big impact in our lives with one hit song we will forever love.
Listen up what he has to say:
In his words:
“If you’ve ever been “Tubthumping,” wondered if “Somebody’s Watching Me,” or lamented that there’s “No Rain,” chances are you love a good One Hit Wonder.
One Hit Wondering is jam packed with the stories of 40 of the most fascinating One Hit Wonders, including …
* The One Hit Wonder whose drummer once owned the royalty rights to classic albums by No Doubt, and Bush
* The One Hit Wonder who successfully sued both Janet Jackson, and Beyoncé
* The One Hit Wonder who wrote two of the most iconic songs of the ‘80s … for someone else
It all started with an idea for a column – listen to the album of a One Hit Wonder, and find three songs, other than the hit, that people should hear.
While writing about a different One Hit Wonder every month for over three years, what it’s turned into has been a series of incredible deep dives on the lives of these artists, all of whom deserve to be known for far more than just their singular moment in the spotlight.
I’ve compiled 40 of these columns – along with some bonus goodies – for One Hit Wondering: The Stories of 40 One Hit Wonders + Other Tales From The Crates.
I hope you enjoy it.”
Digital or physical, it is a must have for every music lovers who had grown up with the music or simply get intrigued by its story.
A must-have 100/100.
