* Italian dance trio '''Eiffel 65''' have exactly one entry on the US Hot 100: "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". Their next few hits charted to varying degrees in most major European markets, but since the early 2000s any later success has been limited to Italy.
* Belgian singer '''Lara Fabian''' only cracked the Top 40 once with "I Will Love Again", which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, and No. 32 on the Hot 100. However, "Love By Grace" [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff became a classic in Brazil]].
* '''Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood''': "Relax", in America at least. Back home, meanwhile, their ''Welcome to the Pleasuredome'' became the fastest selling debut album in British chart history (and remained such from 1984-1993), and they become only the second act in British music history to have their first three singles - "Relax", "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love" - reach number one (for five, nine and one week(s), respectively).
* In 2000, one of the first examples of web-based MemeticMutation produced a one-hit wonder. A Canadian art student created a Website/{{Geocities}} page featuring animated [=GIFs=] of hamsters dancing to a sped-up sample of Roger Miller's "Whistle Stop". This was later sampled into a Eurodance song called the "Hampster Dance", credited to '''Hampton the Hampster'''. It went to #1 in Canada, and Hampton was never heard from again.
* Swedish female duo '''Music/IconaPop''' had a massive crossover hit in 2012/2013 with "I Love It", which featured Music/CharliXCX. They had two other dance hits, "All Night" and "Emergency", but have never touched the ''Hot 100'' again.
* '''Music/TomJones''' is most certainly not a one hit wonder, but he did only have one hit on the U.S. dance charts with 1994's "If I Only Knew".
* '''Jumalatar''': "Are We Thinking The Same Thing". They disbanded after their second EP, ''Frenzy / Easy to Groove'', which failed to catch on.
* '''Kim Lukas''': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aElEcg9Z_S0 "All I Really Want"]] was a hit in 1999 in many European countries and even in Canada. The follow-up, "Let It Be the Night" charted in a few countries, but weren't massive.
* Although she has sung numerous Eurobeat songs under other aliases, '''Ann Lee''' (Annerly Gordon) only had one international Top 10 hit: "2 Times". Her only other charting single was "Voices", which peaked at #6 in Spain.
* '''Edward Maya''' reached #16 with "Stereo Love". Other than that, he's had absolutely no U.S. hits. In fact, he's hardly had any other hits worldwide.
* '''Myndy K.''''s 1997 club hit "Love From Above", featuring the same producers behind fellow one hit wonder She Moves, was her sole spotlight single. She released only one other single, titled "Where U R", which is all but unknown.
* '''Ondina''''s "Summer of Love". Her previous single, "Into the Night", is mostly forgotten.
* '''Qkumba Zoo''': A South African trio, their song "The Child (Inside)" became a minor hit in the U.S. in 1996. Nothing else was able to catch on there.
* '''Peach (Union)''''s only song to reach the Top 40 in the US (or anywhere, for that matter) was "On My Own". They disbanded in 1998 after the non-charting single "Sorrow Town".
* '''Mr. President''' had many hit singles in mainland Europe, but "Coco Jamboo" was their only Top 40 hit in English-speaking countries.
* '''Mr. Probz''' and '''Lillywood and the Prick''' had hits in 2014 with "Waves" and "Prayer in C", respectively, after they were remixed by DJ Robin Schulz. While Schulz remains a big name in the EDM scene, his collaborators never chose to capitalize on their success, though Probz later managed a #1 single in his native Netherlands with "Nothing Really Matters".
* Everyone knows the "Cotton Eye Joe." However, few people can recall it's by a band called '''Rednex.''' Even fewer will be able to name another song they did.
* '''Reina''': "Find Another Woman". She later had the minor hits "If I Close My Eyes" and "Forgive", but those failed to reach the heights of her first hit, and are less well remembered.
* '''Rozalla''''s "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" was her sole pop hit in the US, peaking at #37 in 1992. "Are You Ready to Fly?" was a major hit in England and many European countries, and even made #1 on the US dance charts, but failed to crack the pop Top 40 there.
* '''Patrice Rushen''' is best known for her funky Jazz-soul-disco hit "Forget Me Nots" back in 1982. Then, she fell from the charts like a stone, and was never seen again.
* '''Sarina Paris's''' "Look at Us". She had more limited success with "Just About Enough", and never again achieved the popularity of her first single.
* '''Sam and The Womp''' had a massive #1 hit in the UK with their novelty song "Bom Bom". It also landed in the Top 20 of most European countries (and Australia). After that, they've failed to scrape the bottom of any chart whatsoever. While it wasn't a success in America, only barely scraping the dance charts, it is well-known to many American gamers as [[SongAssociation that really weird song]] in ''VideoGame/ForzaHorizon''.
* '''Sk8''': "My Imagination"
* '''Alexandra Stan''' had a #21 hit in 2011 with "Mr. Saxobeat". Her most recent hit outside that song was a #37 track in Italy that same year.
* '''The Supermen Lovers''': "Starlight," best remembered for the [[AllCGICartoon music video]] featuring a rat and those [[UncannyValley creepy]] potato-men.
* "Don't You Worry Child" was '''Music/SwedishHouseMafia''''s only major North American hit (reaching #6 on Billboard and #1 on the Radio/AmericanTop40). Indeed, they GaveUpTooSoon; it became a hit just a month before they disbanded. Also, featured vocalist '''John Martin''' is a one-hit wonder by extension.
* '''The Tamperer feat. Maya''' - "Feel It", heavily sampled from the Jackson 5's "Can You Feel It, " while lifting most of the lyrics from mid-90s house anthem "Drop a House" by Urban Discharge. The follow-ups "If You Buy This Record (Your Life Will Be Better)" and "Hammer to the Heart" were major hits in a few other countries, but none were as big as "Feel It."
* '''Yolanda Be Cool''' had a massive hit in 2010 with "We No Speak Americano", which charted in the top 5 across Europe (and in their native Australia) and even cracked the Billboard Top 40. None of their follow-up singles went anywhere.

[[folder:Disco]]
* '''Wild Cherry''': "Play That Funky Music" is the only thing anyone remembers them for. That, and having a white singer (Rob Parissi) who sounded incredibly black. Although they just missed the top 40 with a "Play That Funky Music" rewrite called "Baby Don'cha Know," right down to the subject matter (the refrain went, "Baby, don'cha know that the honky's got soul?").
* Can you name a single song made by '''Carl Douglas'''? Other than "Kung Fu Fighting"? His hit was originally going to be "I Want to Give You My Everything", with "Kung Fu Fighting" being recorded as a B-side. The owner of Pye Records reportedly insisted that the latter instead be placed on the A-side, and the rest is history. After "Kung Fu Fighting" finished its run, he invited people to "Dance the Kung Fu," but nobody accepted. He charted in the top 40 a few more times back in the U.K., but is still considered a one-hit wonder there.
* '''Music/RickDees & his Cast of Idiots''': Dees was a popular radio DJ in Memphis who wrote "Disco Duck," a parodic novelty song about the disco fad. The song was #1 in the US for one week. Dees' follow-up "Dis-Gorilla" only hit #56, and despite one last comeback attempt (1984's "Eat My Shorts," a few years before [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons the Simpsons]] were introduced), he stuck with radio, where's he's done pretty well for himself in the ensuing years, and now hosts a nationally syndicated radio show.
* '''Lipps Inc.''' has done little of note besides "Funkytown". They've hit the Hot 100 again with "Rock It", but that only made it to #64. They followed up with another single, "Designer Music", but nobody remembers it, and a cover of Ace's "How Long?" charted in a few other countries, but not in America.
* '''Patrick Hernandez''' is now only remembered for his worldwide hit "Born to Be Alive", and for Madonna being one of his backup dancers.
* '''Kano''': "I'm Ready", another one-hitter from the last days of disco, is [[SampledUp best known for having been sampled]] in "Whoomp! (There it Is)" by '''Tag Team''', also a one-hit wonder, and a few other songs. They had a few more hits back in Europe and also pioneered the Italo-disco movement. Strangely enough, "I'm Ready" never charted there.
* '''The Michael Zager Band''''s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0WJJFjfenM Let's All Chant]]" was a top 40 hit in 1978.
* '''Alicia Bridges''' had one big top 5 hit in early 1979 with "I Love The Nighlife". Unfortunately, she wasn't a disco singer so she didn't have any real material to successfully follow-up with.

* '''Avicii''' is very popular in Europe, but never really made an impact in the United States (not counting the rather limited success of his 2011 song "Levels") until 2013 with his chart-topping smash hit "Wake Me Up!", which became the biggest EDM radio hit in history and had one of the slowest fall-offs in recent memory. His follow-up song "Hey Brother" was another huge European hit, but did rather poorly in the States and gets very little recurrent radio play.[[note]]The song's underperformance is rumored to be tied to radio favoritism to "Wake Me Up!" and bias to the remainder of his discography.[[/note]] His final attempt, "Addicted to You", was dead on arrival when released in the U.S. (he later produced Music/{{Coldplay}}'s Top 10 hit "A Sky Full of Stars", but it can't disqualify "Wake Me Up!"'s one-hit wonder status). Fortunately, he remains one of the most visible names on the EDM scene, so he likely won't have to worry about the tag following him around in the future.
** "Hey Brother" features uncredited vocals from '''Dan Tyminski''', for whom it would've been his only hit had he been credited. However, Tyminski already qualifies as a member of the aforementioned Alison Krauss & Union Station.
* '''The Roc Project''': - "Never (Past Tense)" cracked the US top 100 in 2003 and nearly made the UK top 40. They had a second single, "Deja Vu", and a full-length album, but never achieved a second hit. Tina Arena, the vocalist on the track, is a one-hit wonder in the U.S. but is big back in Australia.
* '''Forest for the Trees''': "Dream" was the only charting single for the solo project for Music/{{Beck}} producer Carl Stephenson.
* Instrumental cover band '''Hot Butter''' had one hit and one hit only: their 1972 cover of the Moog synthpop instrumental "Popcorn".
* '''Larissa''': "I Do Both Jay and Jane"
* Colorado crunkcore group '''3OH!3''' had 3 Top 10 hits: "Don't Touch Me", "Blah Blah Blah", and "My First Kiss" (the latter two were duets with Music/{{Kesha}}, who is not a one-hit wonder). Since neither Ke$ha duet is well remembered today, they are often considered a one-hit wonder for "Don't Touch Me".
* '''K5''': "Passion"; they later had the lesser hit "Lift You Up".
* '''Josefine Garline''': "The Young Generation", her only single from [[OneBookAuthor her sole album]] of the same name.
* '''M|A|R|R|S''': "Pump Up The Volume". This song is especially notable because its the band's ''only single''. They were a one shot collaboration between two bands on the successful British indie label 4AD: DreamPop duo AR Kane, and the electro-reggae group Colourbox. The song was a massive hit and a major influence on electronic music and sampling in pop music for years to come. The group was only active for about six months in 1987, and aside from the B-side to "Pump Up the Volume", never released another track. [[OneBookAuthor Ever]]. Despite the massive hit, neither Colourbox nor AR Kane had any hits on their own; in fact, neither bothered to capitalize on the fame at all: Colourbox split up immediately after "Pump Up the Volume" came out, and AR Kane left 4AD after a couple singles, finishing their career on Rough Trade Records.
* '''Precious''': "Precious Little Fantasy", which interpolated the riff from Music/{{Kraftwerk}}'s "Computer World".
* '''Bomfunk MC's''' - "Freestyler". Their earlier song "B-Boys and Flygirls" was a hit in some countries, but never reached the heights that "Freestyler" got to. In the UK, "Uprocking Beats" made it to #11.
* '''Yello''': "Oh Yeah" was their only charting single in the US, although "The Race" reached No. 7 in the UK.
* '''Planet Soul''': "Set You Free", which reached # 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, was their only hit on the mainstream Top 40. "Feel The Music" only reached #76, and "Look Into My Eyes" was a minor hit on the dance charts, but not the Hot 100; said singles are now almost completely forgotten, though "Set You Free" isn't exactly well-remembered either.
* '''DJ Jean''''s "The Launch" was a highly popular stadium anthem at hockey games in Canada and the US, but the rest of his discography is all but unknown on this side of the Atlantic. Even in Europe, it was his only Top 40 single outside of his home country of Holland, aside from "Love Come Home" reaching #26 in Belgium.
* '''Clean Bandit''' is pretty big in the UK and the rest of Europe, but stateside they're known solely for "Rather Be", which hit #10. None of their other singles even touched the ''Bubbling Under'' charts, and their album barely scratched the ''Billboard'' 200. Additionally, featured vocalist '''Jess Glynne''' is also a one-hit wonder by extension, as it's one of only two of her songs to chart anywhere in the U.S. (the other, "Hold My Hand", only reached #86 after appearing in a Coca-Cola commercial). Back home, though, she's one of the biggest stars on the market, with a #1 debut album and two #1 hits (and a whopping five #1s if features are counted, all of which were scored ''before her album was even released'').
* '''Disclosure''' are superstars in the United Kingdom but in the States are known only for "Latch". This is largely due to the fact that the song only became popular there due to featuring vocals by the rapidly-rising Music/SamSmith. Thus, the song is viewed by American audiences as Smith's song rather than Disclosure's, and the duo themselves remain largely obscure there. Ironically, "Latch" wasn't even their biggest hit in the U.K.; "White Noise", featuring vocals from [=AlunaGeorge=] (see below), was. They have a fairly large following in the US electronic scene, but to mainstream audiences they're nothing more than a name on a Sam Smith song. A later song, "Omen", which also featured Sam Smith, charted on the ''Hot 100'', but it ultimately failed to reach the Top 40. Strangely, Disclosure would become a one-hit wonder once again on a different format. 2015's "Magnets" became their only song to get widespread airplay on alternative rock radio, but it only did so because it featured alternative mainstay Music/{{Lorde}}. Since it's viewed as Lorde's song instead of theirs, and their style of music isn't really made for that format, they're unlikely to ever have another alternative hit again.
* '''Naughty Boy''' is a prolific producer and had a few hits as an artist in his native U.K. but elsewhere only hit it big with "La La La". Like Disclosure above, Sam Smith's vocals contributed to the song's success; however, because he was unknown at the time it became a hit, Naughty Boy doesn't tend to be discredited as often.
* '''Talisco''' is the pseudonym of a really obscure French artist called ''Jérome Amandi''. There is only one song he ever recorded that achieved more than 1 million views on youtube. That one is called ''Your Wish'' and was mainly known as 'that cool song that appears on those ads/was on 3 days to kill'.
* British duo '''[=AlunaGeorge=]''' is fairly popular in the UK and had a big hit there as a feature on Disclosure's aforementioned "White Noise". To the U.S. however, they're known only for "You Know You Like It". While the original was a moderate success back home, it became a huge success stateside when it was given a trap remix by DJ Snake. Given that the duo themselves are still quite obscure there, its success is mostly attributed to DJ Snake, [[BlackSheepHit and it sounds nothing like their normal, non-remixed material]], it's unlikely they'll ever have another hit in the United States, especially not on their own.
* '''Alesso''' is very popular in the European EDM scene, but his only pop hit in the US was "Heroes (We Could Be)". This is more likely due to its vocals being provided by the fast-rising Music/ToveLo than anything else.
* '''Jack Ü''', a TrapMusic production [[{{Supergroup}} super duo]] consisting of Music/{{Skrillex}} and Diplo, scored a #8 hit entirely on the back of pop idol Music/JustinBieber with "Where Are Ü Now?". Since it's almost universally associated with Bieber, and neither of them are likely to score pop hits any time soon (either on their own or as a duo), it's not looking like Jack Ü have another hit outside of the dance charts.
* Music/{{LMFAO}} isn't a one-hit wonder, but rather a TwoHitWonder with two massive #1 hits (namely "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I Know It"). However the former song featured guest vocals from British expat '''Lauren Bennett''' and credited production from '''[=GoonRock=]'''. This song marks their only chart entry on the ''Hot 100''. The latter song averted this as it did not have any featured artists credited.
** Bennett would become a one-hit wonder twice over as member of the tragically short-lived GirlGroup G.R.L.; see their entry below for more details.
* '''Krewella''' are popular in EDM circles but their mainstream success began and ended with 2013's "Alive."
* '''Major Lazer''', the [[ElectronicMusic EDM]]-meets-WorldMusic project led by Diplo (see above), is very popular with EDM audiences and are big enough to get their own [[WesternAnimation/MajorLazer TV show]], but only crossed over once with "Lean On", in collaboration with French producer DJ Snake featuring Danish singer MØ, which became the biggest EDM crossover hit since "Wake Me Up!", literally the most streamed song on Spotify ''of all time'' (having dethroned Music/EdSheeran's "Thinking Out Loud", which ironically took the title from "Wake Me Up"). Prior to that, they were somewhat known for their viral hit "Bubble Butt", but it's mostly forgotten today (and those who do remember it associate it with Music/BrunoMars). Their intended pop follow-up "Powerful" (featuring Music/EllieGoulding and Tarrus Riley) was completely DOA upon its release, and their next song "Be Together" flopped even harder. As such, it doesn't look like Major Lazer is going to be a [[JustForPun major]] crossover act, likely only known for "Lean On".
** '''MØ''' will likely be known only for providing the vocals of that massive hit, since she has yet to have a hit as a lead artist, even in her native Denmark. In the US, she had a minor hit as a feature on Music/IggyAzalea's "Beg for It", but it's almost completely forgotten today (largely in part to Azalea's DeaderThanDisco status). Averted with DJ Snake, who's managed three Top 40 hits (though he was nearly considered one before).
* Dutch DJ '''Martin Garrix''' is one of the fastest-rising names in EDM on the market, but technically his only Top 40 hit is his #21 hit "Animals".
* Even the [[TropeMaker first electronic music band ever]] is technically a one-hit wonder. German band '''Music/{{Kraftwerk}}''' only had one Top 40 hit in the US: "Autobahn" in 1975, which peaked at #25. Of course, being that they were the {{Trope Maker}}s of ElectronicMusic, they were massively influential and are rarely thought of as one-hit wonders.
* Music/{{Zedd}} isn't a one-hit wonder, but British singer '''Music/{{Foxes}}''', who provides the vocals on his BreakthroughHit "Clarity", is.
* Lithuanian DJ '''Ten Walls''' had a #6 hit in the UK with "Walking with Elephants," only to quickly implode shortly afterwards due to a homophobic rant on Facebook.
* Music/CalvinHarris is quite possibly the biggest DJ ''in the world'' and is most certainly '''not''' a one-hit wonder. However his 2015 song, "How Deep Is Your Love" featured credited co-production from British production trio '''Disciples'''. Since they're not even famous in their native UK, let alone the rest of the world, it's unlikely that they'll ever have another hit again.
* The Chainsmokers aren't a one-hit wonder, but '''Rozes''', their guest vocalist on "Roses", is.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Synthpop]]
* '''Music/{{Aha}}''' had two top-20 hits: the evergreen #1 "Take on Me", and the #20 "The Sun Always Shines on TV". Since "Sun" is (in the USA) mostly forgotten today, they are widely considered a one-hit wonder there. In Europe, and especially their native Norway, they were superstars and never thought of as one-hit wonders.
* '''Rockwell's''' 1984 song "Somebody's Watching Me" is only remembered because the chorus is sung by his friends [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael]] and Jermaine Jackson.
** And because it is a Halloween staple. Rockwell had another top 40 hit, "Obscene Phone Caller," which did not reach the heights of "Somebody's Watching Me."
* "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" was a #8 hit song for '''Pretty Poison'''. Although "Nighttime" made it to #36, it is pretty much forgotten today.
* '''Music/SoftCell's''' cover of "Tainted Love" was the only song they were really known for in the US. In the UK, however, they are much more popular.
* '''ThomasDolby''' scored a Top 10 hit with "She Blinded Me With Science" in 1983 in the US (WordOfGod says it's a StealthParody of his "musical mad scientist" image), also something of a BlackSheepHit for him as much of his other work is more artsy, more [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly techno-prog-pop with experimental touches]]. He has something of a [[CultClassic cult following]] and some minor hits ("Airhead", "Hyperactive!", "Windpower", "One Of Our Submarines"), but nothing on the level of "Science".
** Dolby is also a one-hit wonder in his native UK, but with "Hyperactive!" instead of "Science."
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siUWsDkMGTY Regina - Baby Love]]
* Although they released a good few singles, try getting anyone to name a '''[[Music/TheBuggles Buggles]]''' song other than "Video Killed the Radio Star". (Frontman [[RecordProducer Trevor Horn]] however is most certainly not a one-hit wonder, although is much better known as a producer than anything else.)
** I'm sure a Brit could do that as they had two other top 40 hits there.
** "Video Killed the Radio Star" barely qualifies as a hit, peaking at #40 on the Hot 100. It's probably better known for the first music video ever played on Creator/{{MTV}} (almost two years after the song charted) than for being a hit song.
* "C-c-cant You See?" by '''Vicious Pink'''.
* [[BlackSheepHit "Japanese Boy"]] by '''Aneka'''.
* '''Trans-X's''' "Living on Video" was the duo's only memorable international hit. They had a few minor hits such as "Message on the Radio" and "3D Dance", which have since fallen into obscurity.
* Canadian band '''Dragonette''' is known solely in the US as a feature in Martin Solveig's 2010 song "Hello".
* Czech-born composer '''Jan Hammer''' had a number-one hit in 1985 with the theme from ''Series/MiamiVice''. It remains his sole entry on the Hot 100.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Trance]]
* '''Silvertear''' - "So Deep"; a one-shot wonder co-produced by Cristophe and Erik of Ian Van Dahl, and remixed by them under the name Perfect Sphere. Famous for being [[ThatOneBoss That One Song]] in ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution Max/Max2/Extreme AC'' and ''Max2 US''.
* '''Rollergirl''' - "Love You More" (cover of Sunscreem). Also a BlackSheepHit, as it was a different style from her other songs, which were generally Nu-Italo rather than trance.
* '''Tomski's''' "14 Hours to Save The Earth" and "Love Will Come"(featuring Jan Johnston). Did a few remixes, but these were his only two original songs.
* '''"Sandstorm"''' by Darude. Nothing else he's done comes close.
** Except for "Feel The Beat".
** Ditto for "Stomp To My Beat" by fellow Finn '''JS-16''', although he also co-produced "Sandstorm" and "Feel The Beat".
* "Kernkraft 400" by '''Zombie Nation'''.
** The song was more of an international hit, while still played in every sporting event in America, it barely charted on the Hot 100
* '''Binary Finary's''' "1998" is their only notable song. They had a number of b-sides on the remix EP's and the single "Niterider" in 2002, but due to disputes between members, they were mostly silent until 2006, when they released a download-only compilation of previously-unreleased tunes, ''The Lost Tracks''. The remaining members have collaborated with various other trance musicians in recent years.
* "Shattered" by '''Dejin''', an indie musician from Snohomish County, WA, who was also a [[OneBookAuthor one-album wonder]] with ''As You Dream''.
* For a brief time during the summer of 2000, '''Sonique (a.k.a. Sonia Clarke)''' dominated the U.K., U.S. and Canadian charts with the reissue of her 1998 trance track "It Feels So Good", which was played on practically every Top 40 station in the world (and reaching the Top 5 in many countries). Despite releasing several more tracks after this (and suffering from breast cancer and mismanagement from her record label, who continually delayed the lead single from her follow-up album), nothing she's released in the years afterward has come close to replicating that success.
** Clarke's prior group, '''S'Express''', was also a one-hit wonder with "Theme From S'Express".
* "Days Go By" was a massive hit for British trio '''Dirty Vegas''', becoming a hit in the US and Canada after being featured in a Mitsubishi commercial, despite not being that big anywhere else.
* '''DJ Sammy, Yanou, and Do''' - "Heaven," a trance remake of the Bryan Adams chart-topper, became a worldwide hit in 2002. A remake of "The Boys of Summer" didn't do very well, and he faded back into obscurity afterwards.
* The only hit Belgian dance trio '''D.H.T.''' has had outside their native country was a cover of Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart." It even cracked the U.S. market, despite the trance movement having died quite a while ago there.
* '''Cascada''' were very popular in Europe, but in the U.S. are known for their ([[IAmNotShazam no, not her,]] ''[[IAmNotShazam their]]'') 2006 #10 hit "Everytime We Touch" and nothing else. They had a minor comeback in 2009 with the #25 "Evacuate the Dancefloor", but it's completely forgotten today (perhaps because it wasn't a trance song, so people didn't realize it was the same artist).
