One-Hit Wonders
One of my favourite possessions is The CHUM Chart Book by Ron Hall. Long out of print, it is a listing of all songs that charted on Toronto top-40 radio station CHUM between 1957 and 1986.
I sometimes spend spare time looking up songs performed by artists who appeared exactly once in the book and
then finding them on YouTube. I've found some interesting things, so I want to share them with you.
Listings are sorted by artist last name.
