3 One-Hit Wonders From the 1990s With Melodies That Still Echo Decades Later

American Songwriter · 2 months ago

American Songwriter has published a light-hearted feature revisiting three one-hit wonders from the 1990s whose melodies, the writer argues, have endured long after their initial release. The piece frames the decade as an eclectic musical era spanning rock, pop, electronic, rap, metal and alternative, and picks out three dance and pop tracks the author says they return to often.

The three songs highlighted are Corona's "The Rhythm Of The Night" (1995), praised for its instantly recognisable hook; Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (1994), described as catchy and whimsical and emblematic of the era; and Haddaway's "What Is Love" (1993) from his LP The Album, singled out for its booming vocal and universal theme of love. The article is an opinion-led appreciation rather than a news report, offering personal impressions of each track alongside its release year and parent album.
