Five Country One-Hit Wonders Even I Almost Forgot About [VIDEO]

Friday on WBKR, we will be celebrating "National One-Hit Wonder Day"! As you may or may not know, I officially started my career in country radio and even though I was very familiar with a lot of country hits and artists, the one-hit wonders were fun to play. Here's five I almost forgot about.

Clay Davidson- "Unconditional"

Oh my goodness such a great debut single from a guy who I thought would stick around for a while. It didn't happen. Although Davidson released two other modest singles, "I Can't Lie to Me" and "Sometimes", his career ended when his label Virgin transferred him to Capitol and he wouldn't record another song. Dang!

Yankee Grey- "All Things Considered"

This was a hit when I first started my job. Again, a great debut single, but Yankee Grey would only crack the top 40 one more time with their follow-up "Another Nine Minutes". Ironic? Their ultimate downfall came when lead singer Tim Hunt left the group and they left their label.

Jennifer Hanson- "Beautiful Goodbye"

"Beautiful Goodbye" would be singer/songwriter Jennifer Hanson's only big hit. She would go on to write for other acts such as The Wreckers, Bucky Covington, and Billy Currington. And she co-wrote "Country Strong", the title track from the Gwyneth Paltrow-Tim McGraw movie.

Sons of the Desert- "Whatever Comes First"

When you hear Lee Ann Womack's monster hit "I Hope You Dance" you hear the Womack brothers (no relation) of Sons of the Desert on backing vocals. Their band landed in the top 10 with their debut single "Whatever Comes First'. They had some good follow-up singles, "Hand of Fate" is one my personal favorites, but they were rarely heard from after the mid 2000's. Another well-known story about the group, they recorded "Goodbye Earl" the same time The Dixie Chicks did, however, the Chicks claimed it and made it a huge hit. When the group disputed the ladies' claim, they decided to leave their label.

The Wilkinsons- "26 Cents"

Sister Amanda, brother Tyler, and Dad Steve burst onto the scene in their native Canada and the U.S with their 1998 top-5 single "26 Cents" and then, not much happened after that. Their only other big single "Fly (The Angel Song)" would hit no. 15 in the states, but they failed to crack the top 40 thereafter. Amanda Wilkinson went solo and had great success, in Canada.
