8 Music Artists You Wrongly Thought Were One-Hit Wonders

8. Chumbawamba -Tubthumping

He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink...

In 1997, the expertly-named band Chumbawamba released the drinking song to end all drinking songs with Tubthumping, a song title which i'm not totally sure means anything, but which somehow perfectly captures the flow of the track's killer chorus.

Even if you don't know the single by name, as soon as that punchy central hook comes in you'll realise you can sing every word. After all, there's a reason Rolling Stone named the tune one of the most annoying ever created: because it's so damn catchy.

Though it topped the charts internationally, even hitting number six on the USA's Billboard Top 100, it was somehow even more popular in the UK, where it won a Brit Award and sold just shy of 900,000 copies. Not too shabby for a song that's often used more as the punchline to a joke than it is played in full.

While the band didn't have a single that hit this level of success ever again, they weren't just a one-and-done act. Though you probably couldn't name another song, Tubthumping was actually a track off the band's eighth studio album. That's already unprecedented, but what's even stranger is the band went on to create six more LPs afterwards.

While they didn't reach the same commercial heights, it was clear they weren't interested in that anyway, as the majority of their records featured heavy, politically-driven songs, making Tubthumping a strange anomaly in their back catalogue.
