10 One-Hit Wonders That Defined The Early 2000s

2. Los Lonely Boys - "Heaven"

This was a weird song to reach the Top 20. It just is. It didn't really sound like anything else on the radio at the time, but it kind of had this general sameness to it anyway. It's like we'd heard this somewhere before (maybe in the vaguely Latin blues of Santana's work with Rob Thomas and Alex Band...but probably not), and then someone zapped us with one of those Men In Black memory erasers and we decided to just go along with it.

"Heaven" isn't a bad song, but it definitely never seemed like it would catch on with the youth market. Yet, somehow, it did. Hell, it was even used in a Guitar Hero game.

Were all of our parents just really on the ball in 2004, feverishly calling into radio stations' request lines to get this song played?? Whatever the reason, this laid-back, sprightly little blues rock number was ubiquitous for well over a year.
