History Trivia / DaftPunk

* OneHitWonder: In the eyes of mainstream audiences, "Get Lucky" qualifies. It would have reached #1 on the charts in the U.S., but had to settle for 2nd as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" was released about 2 weeks later and dominated the summer. Their follow up "Lose Yourself to Dance" barely got any airtime at all on any radio stations that didn't focus on EDM, and is barely a blip on iTunes. Though before this one could have argued that "One More Time" was the group's only big hit among the mainstream. Thankfully, the sales of all albums, extra attention from big name fans (like Music/KanyeWest), appearances and such in games and movies like ''DJ Hero'' and ''TRON Legacy'', along with the dedicated fanbase, have kept Daft Punk from falling into obscurity like other groups that were only one-hit wonders to mainstream radio audiences. They had two other US Top 40 entries in 2016 and 2017 after Music/TheWeeknd collaborated with them, but due to the fact that they were featured artists on the songs, it does not disqualify them of their one-hit status.

** One of the duo's biggest formative experiences as teenagers was ''Film/PhantomOfTheParadise'', which they saw over 20 times together in the theater (the influence of which can be seen in their helmets and stage personas). Over 35 years later, they were introduced to Paul Williams himself via a sound engineer and mutual acquaintance, and they finally got to collaborate on ''Random Access Memories''.
