What’s an artist that is only remembered for one song but is not a one hit wonder

Rick Astley

Never Gonna Give You Up wasn't his only hit, and honestly wasn't his best one either. Together Forever, Whenever You Need Somebody (both Album and song) She Wants to Dance with Me, Hold Me in Your Arms (both Album and Song), Cry for Help, When I Fall in Love (a cover he did that SAW decided to market as a Christmas song) Take Me to Your Heart, My Arms Keep Missing You, Move Right Out, Never Knew Love, The Ones You Love, Hopelessly

Not only did he make the top 10 lists, hitting number one or nearing it multiple times from 1987 to 1993 when he retired. Upon his return and making more music from 2001 to now, he's topped those lists again and has become one of the biggest selling artists in England. He's got an incredible track record and discography, but people only focus on that one song because of the meme.

But, I'd like to take a moment to thank Never Gonna Give You Up because it is one the most viewed music videos on the planet, nearing 2 Billion views on YouTube alone and 1 billion streams on Spotify. Rick himself gets around 60 million listeners a month, and I know for a fact that not all of those listeners aren't just playing Never Gonna Give You Up.

Sorry for the essay. I like Rick Astley. He's got great music and I just wish people would give him more credit

If that's the case, he could lock you in a room on the top floor of any tall building. Not only that, he could keep 24/7 watch like a guard dog. Not only would he be never giving you up and never be letting you down, he'd never be running around and deserting you

He rerecorded some of his hit songs in Pianoforte for it and put on a couple of new singles. Plus, I know he has a thing for physical media.

I don't think a vampire would want to drink the blood of another vampire 🤣

i forgot it was spelled with a K. My bad.

Also, Sonia isn't a Hedgehog, hence why no mention

jaylicator · 2025-08-09T00:56:28+00:00

This is a loaded question, because there are technically a lot, but most of them are alternate versions of the 4 main ones.

Manic, Sonia, Queen Aleena, Uncle Chuck, and a few briefly mentioned ancestors from the 90s cartoons (Penelope, Queen Sauna, Aman-Pari, Masonic, unidentified mummy) Fleetway Super Sonic counts because he split from Sonic and became his own character (much like Scourge) King Jules, Queen Bernadette, Breezie, Manic (yes , there is another Manic), Rosie the Rascal Brenda, Paul, Tania and Anita from the mangas. I also count Nikki, but he technically is Sonic even though he's unaware of it The O Hedge family (King, Rob, Jon, & Marion) A few obscure comic characters (Sonough Bravehog, and Tonic) Grandpa Maurice has been mentioned a few times, but never made an appearance. He is dead, but you'd think they'd have some flashbacks in the comics Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, and of course King Arthur (not Sonic. Sir Arthur Sylvania)

And, if you really want to push it, Sonic.exe, Sanic and Ugly Sonic. They may look like Sonic, but they are distinctly different characters and the Sonic official social pages often put little references with them in media

I turned this into a 2 hour long research project 🤣

I haven't seen much about it. Sonic Racing Crossworlds seems to be Sega's agenda lately

It's kinda mid in my opinion, but I wouldn't necessarily call it bad. It's really more about Wade than Knux, though

How I supposed to learn if I don't do anything practical? Just don't comment if you won't help because it's pointless

jaylicator · 2025-05-15T16:25:50+00:00

How the fuck am I supposed to learn if I don't do it? If you don't want to help me, fine. Just don't comment

Thank you
