Although I might come back at a later date and list all the One Hit Wonders in the UK, at this stage, I have just listed 50 as chosen from a poll. A 2006 television poll, conducted by Channel 4 in the UK, asked viewers to select their favourite one hit wonder from a shortlist of 60. Respondents could also vote by e-mail to select a song that was not on the original list, if they so wished. The top 50 were:
