two-hit wonders

What about two-hit wonders? The thing is, they're quite rare compared to the number of one-hit wonders!

I browsed through my (small) music collection and came up with a list of two-hit wonders from the 90s:
  1. KLF - 3AM Eternal, Justified And Ancient
  2. Indecent Obsession - Lady Rain, Fixing A Broken Heart
  3. D'ream - Things Can Only Get Better, UR The Best Thing
  4. Southern Sons - You Were There, Wildest Love
  5. Lene Marlin - Sitting Down Here, Unforgivable Sinner
(I previously said Toad The Wet Sprocket was two-hit, but realized they had more)

Ah, it's so much harder to get that second hit, non? You could be stuck with none or one, but once you get past the second hit, you're on your way to music super-stardom. So if you're an aspiring artiste, forget about that first hit, start working on the second one now!

Some lists of one-hit wonders I found:
  1. VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders. [link]
  2. Another all time greatest list. [link]
  3. USA Today's list for the 90s [link]
  4. Another list for the 90s. [link]

KLF? Surely, What Time is Love? & Last Train to Trancentral were hits too? And Doctorin' the Tardis.
