I was thinking that a page listing from a One Hit Wonder artist on the Billboard site could work for this.

Gonna go ahead and open this one. The suggestion is okay, but one track after the hit doesn't feel like enough context to truly establish that it was the artist's only hit.

OP lacks a bit more context (one song performing much better than another =/= it was his only hit). I think an image that directly lampshades it would be the most effective.

First two panels Panels 1, 3, 4)

[up] The first is okay...I think I like the second a bit more.

3.2 works. Don't like 3.1, as the imagery doesn't add much.

I feel like 3.2 sort of goes better on Iconic Song Request.

I'm tempted to propose just a picture of the discography of M|A|R|R|S. You'll notice that there's exactly two songs (one of which you've probably never heard of), but one of them is fairly clearly a hit. I'm worried if it's too close to One-Book Author to be a good example.

Yeah, that's probably a better fit.

I'm more fond of 11. Don't really think the MARRS one qualifies, since their entire discography is a double-sided single.

There's enough consensus for 11, so it's up and tagged. Caption?

As it was previously on the BUPKIS list, I'm voting to move it to the "don't change the pic" list; yea/nay?

No caption for now. Also, a [tdown] for "don't change the pic".

No caption needed.

As for "don't change", I am uncertain, but leaning towards nay. I may be swayed if someone for it makes a convincing reason why.

[tup] to 11. (of course it probably helps I actually like their music too XP)

~From the Words of BR, you were kinda late there, as we were discussing possible captions. The option you went for did have consensus, though.

As it’s been over a week without a caption option, closing.
