Awesome article as always! However....

I realize you disqualified them, but 38 Special even being in a conversation about 2 hit wonders is wild. "Second Chance" is their highest charter and was an AC staple for years. I agree that the other 2 songs are probably more remembered at this point though.

But more importantly......shout out to Fastball, the greatest 2 hit wonder of all time, who should be on this list. Except Billboard had the now silly rule in the 90's that didn't allow airplay-only songs to chart on the Hot 100. "The Way," their biggest hit didn't chart as a result.

I always say, "second chance" is by 38 special, but its really not a 38 special song! Lol

You left out The Clash. “What I like about you” #28 and Blues Traveler “But Anyway” #5? Those are just the glaringly obvious misses
