I miss #Homeschooling Charlie and knowing my #teaching has come to a end but that doesn’t mean I doesn’t mean I don’t want to help others which is why I still choose to share #Holidays with you especially when they can be turned into a learning experience like #OnHitWonderDay which is perfect to teach math, Reading and even a Art or Drama Class. Below you will find a lesson plan I put together for you. For more facts on #oneHitWonder go here:
A one-hit wonder is any entity that achieves mainstream popularity, often for only one piece of work, and becomes known among the general public solely for that momentary success. The term is most commonly used in regard to music performers with only one hit single that overshadows their other work.
Some artists dubbed “one-hit wonders” in a particular Country had achieved success in other Countries. Music artists with subsequent popular albums and hit listings are not properly considered a one-hit wonder, although artists with multiple hits have sometimes been erroneously labelled as “one-hit wonders”.
If one particular hit has become much more well-remembered years or decades later than their other hits. One-hit wonders usually see their popularity decreasing after their hit listing, and most often never return to hit listings with other songs or albums.
