Guest Random Hero Report post Posted August 14, 2003 What about Chumbawumba? There was the "I get Knocked Down" song and then Amnesia I believe. That's another thing I'm unclear on. "Amnesia" could have charted based on the 'residual heat' from "Tubthumping" but I wouldn't go out and call it a true hit. All the same, from what I hear Chumbawumba could probably give a shit whether they have another hit or not... I remember seeing an interview with them a little while ago and they said they weren't looking for chart success, they just wanted to make music. Quite a rare thing for a band nowadays. That's quite an easy thing to say when your band has zero fans and couldn't buy their way into the top 40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but they're supposedly anarchists so making top 40 charts is probably not high on their list of priorities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 Hey, what about the Grateful Dead... I know Touch of Grey was there only top 10 hit... did any of their singles reach top 40? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 Nope, Touch of Gray is the Dead's only hit. As Watchtower is Hendrix's only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 Nope, Touch of Gray is the Dead's only hit. As Watchtower is Hendrix's only one. Wasn't Crosstown Traffic released post-humously over there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 Several Hendrix tracks were release after his death in the states, but none charted in the top 40. As an aside, I love Crosstown Traffic and I think it's one of his better and more overlooked tunes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 I'm not sure, but I think Reel Big Fish's "Everything Sucks" might have charted as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2003 Fastball has only two hits that I know of, The Way, and Out Of My Head. They released another single that I remember, entitled You're An Ocean, which I enjoyed quite a bit, but it never did anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2003 Fastball looks to fit. El Debarge also had I Like It, All This Love, Time Will Reveal, Who's Holding Donna Now Reel Big Fish is not listed in the book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Chumbawumba are probably one of my most despised of all bands. Ever. That's all I've really got to add at this juncture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MissMattitude Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Chumbawumba are probably one of my most despised of all bands. Ever. That's all I've really got to add at this juncture. Oh I dunno, I quite liked them. I have 'Tubthumping' on single. Reel Big Fish are still kicking so you can't really include them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Dare I say that Nirvana might actually be a two hit wonder by this absurd definition? The only two songs I know of that they had that hit the top 40 in the pop charts were Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are. Maybe About a Girl or something else charted after Cobain's death, I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
