Poor Image: One Hit Wonder

One-Hit Wonder is some text-heavy chart from a list of a an artist Top 10 most played songs and it seems a bit sloppy due to being mostly text and taking up so much page.

It's also from an artist/song so obscure they don't even have a page on this wiki and not a hugely recognizable example of the trope so it muddles the waters even more.

Previous thread. Voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Solid Keep Until Better Image Suggested from me, especially given that there's no replacement suggestion. Even if you don't read the individual titles, the colored blue bar indicates that the first one is the most popular by far. And as for how well-known Babylon Zoo is... There Is No Such Thing as Notability.

If the concern is that it takes up too much of the page (which I don't think it does), we can axe maybe three or four tracks from the bottom.

Keep. We could crop off the bottom part after the top 5 maybe.

I think it works, but isn't this trope BUPKIS?

It was, but I'm not sure if it's on the don't change the pic list now.

Also, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's still on the BUPKIS list.

Notability isn't the issue here.

The issue is that having an obscure song/performer for this trope veers into does not illustrate territory.

I'll take it off the BUPKIS list, but there wasn't enough consensus in the previous thread to make it a "don't change the pic" page.

Use an image of the same type as this one but with a well-known artist, then.

That's what notability means. For IP, the requirement for something being familiar enough to be recognisable is on the level of Mario, Jesus, or for a music trope, Elvis. For this trope, anyone sufficiently famous does not qualify for the trope.

Keep.

I don't see how "the band is obscure" -> "does not illustrate". The image illustrates fine — you can clearly see that one song is far more popular than the others.

They might not have a page on this wiki (irrelevant), but Babylon Zoo is one of the UK's biggest one hit wonders, so they're definitely an example.

The most I'd do with the pic is shave off songs 8-10 as they're in the same range as 2-7.

If a band (or any other creator, for that matter) were well-known and instantly recognisable, wouldn't that more often than not imply that they weren't a One-Hit Wonder? Because when I think of that expression, I think of someone or something that was very briefly well-known, rapidly faded away into obscurity, and nowadays is only remembered for not being able to follow up on their one hit, assuming anyone remembers them at all.

Not at all. Many people under that trope have long careers, but fly under the radar except for one song that brings them notoriety. See the subpages.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested, except maybe with some of the entries cropped.

Ditto.

I'm happy with that.

Yeah, that works.

I don't see how that's an improvement.

It mainly just looks a tad less cluttered and more readable.

18.1.

18, or no image for now?
