One Hit Wonders Day Special

Every year on 25th September, it鈥檚 One Hit Wonders Day!

One Hit Wonders Day is celebrated every year on 25th September.

It was the brainchild of American journalist Steve Rosen, who has been a fan, and fascinated by One Hit Wonders all his life.

He started One Hit Wonders Day in 1990 for his 40th birthday, and was straight away inundated with calls about it!

Find out where the idea came from and why he wanted to dedicate a day to One Hit Wonders, plus OJ plays one of Steve鈥檚 favourites.
