What's some of your favorite (and least favorite) songs by one-shot artists that hit the American Billboard Top 40 Singles charts only once in their career? There have been some good ones that made it only once and it boggles your mind why they didn't have a more successful charting career. And others who should have stayed away from the recording studio, but somehow managed to get tons of people to buy their album and request their song on the radio.
All right, so here's my top 10 BEST:
Crabby Appleton - "Go Back" (1970)

Shocking Blue - "Venus" (1970)
After the Fire - "Der Kommissar" (1983)

Mungo Jerry - "In the Summertime" (1970)
Autograph - "Turn up the Radio" (1985)
Spacehog - "In The Meantime" (1996)
...and here's my top ten WORST:
