List of 1990s one-hit wonders in the United States

List of 1990s one-hit wonders in the United States

This is a list of musical artists whose one hit came out in the 1990s.

The list contains recording artists who reached the Top 40 of the U.S. pop chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with just one single. Note some artists are not considered one-hit wonders despite having only one hit single, usually due to success on a genre-specific chart such as Modern Rock Tracks, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs or Hot Country Songs; these are shown in "italics". "A" indicates an airplay hit (when a physical single was not released).
