Welcome to Watchmojo and today we're counting down our picks for the bands and artists who managed to narrowly avoid being a one hit wonder by having a grand total of two hits.

歡迎來到 Watchmojo，今天我們要來盤點那些差一點就成為一曲成名，但最終有兩首熱門歌曲的樂團和藝人。

You'll probably know the Rembrandts best for their song I'll Be There for your and its use on the TV show Friends.

你們大概最知道 The Rembrandts 的歌是 I'll Be There for You，以及它在電視節目 Friends 中的使用。

But that wasn't the only chart success they carved out.

但那並不是他們唯一創下的排行榜成功。

In fact, it wasn't even their highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100.

事實上，那甚至不是他們在 Billboard 百大單曲榜上最高的單曲。

A few years prior to that commercial boost, the band managed to reach the number 14 spot with just the way it is baby, three places higher than their next hit.

在那商業推廣的幾年前，這支樂團以 just the way it is baby 達到第 14 名，比他們下一首熱門歌曲高了三個名次。

By the time their original run had concluded, these would be the only top 50 singles that the band would ever manage.

在他們最初的活躍期結束時，這將是這支樂團僅有的兩首前 50 名單曲。

Though their window of success was brief, Fastball pulled off a pretty respectable run of success in the late 90s.

雖然他們的成功窗口很短暫，但 Fastball 在 90 年代末期仍然有著相當不錯的表現。

It was their second album that saw them break into the mainstream with their two biggest hits.

是他們的第二張專輯讓他們一舉成名，擁有了兩首最大的熱門歌曲。

The Way shot them to the top of the US alt charts, becoming a gold record in the process.

The Way 將他們推向美國另類音樂排行榜的頂端，並在此過程中獲得了金唱片認證。

Then they earned another slice of commercial success with out of My Head the following year.

隔年，他們又以 Out of My Head 獲得了另一波商業成功。

This time they made it to the 20th spot on the Billboard charts.

這次他們在 Billboard 排行榜上名列第 20 名。

As it would turn out, these two songs would be the final major splashes they would make, even though they would go on to consistently release music for the next 25 years.

結果證明，這兩首歌將是他們最後的重大突破，儘管他們在接下來的 25 年裡持續發行音樂。

Those of you who were around in the 90s will no doubt remember Ugly Kid Joe and their rendition of Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle.

在 90 年代的朋友們，一定還記得 Ugly Kid Joe 和他們翻唱 Harry Chapin 的 Cats in the Cradle。

不過，那並不是他們唯一的大熱門。

The band's debut single, Everything about yout was actually a top 10 success, catapulting them to fame in 1991.

這支樂團的首張單曲 Everything about yout 實際上取得了前十名成功，讓他們在 1991 年一舉成名。

It's a far more cynical record than their second hit, giving no indication of what would eventually follow.

這是一張比他們第二首熱門歌曲還要諷刺的作品，完全看不出後來會發生什麼。

Two years later, the band reached an entirely new level of fame, breathing new life into a song from a bygone era.

兩年後，這支樂團達到了全新的名氣巔峰，為一首昔日時代的歌曲注入了新生命。

Unfortunately, this would be the last time they ever charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

可惜的是，這將是他們最後一次登上 Billboard 百大單曲榜。

No list of two whit wonders would be complete without a mention of blues Travelers, though they still have a devoted fanbase who can't get enough of their sound.

沒有提到 Blues Traveler 的兩曲成名名單就不完整，儘管他們仍然擁有忠實粉絲，對他們的音樂愛不釋手。

他們真正的商業高峰出現在 1995 年。

In that one year, the band scored a top 10 hit in the US with runaround, which would go on to be known as their signature song.

在那一年，這支樂團以 Runaround 在美國獲得了前十名熱門單曲，這首歌後來成為了他們的代表歌曲。

Then their follow up single Hook managed to hit number 23, earning acclaim for its satirical commentary on the entire pop music machine.

接著他們的後續單曲 Hook 成功打進第 23 名，並因其對整個流行音樂產業的諷刺評論而獲得讚譽。

Despite following these tracks up with a few modest commercial performances, Blues Traveler would never match the heights they reached in 1995.

儘管後續幾首單曲的商業表現溫和，Blues Traveler 卻再也無法達到他們在 1995 年的高度。

Hard Rocker's Tesla were a mainstay on the US mainstream rock charts for pretty much the entirety of their careers.

Tesla 這支硬搖滾樂團幾乎在他們整個職業生涯中，都是美國主流搖滾排行榜上的中堅力量。

However, the only true crossover hits they had came during a two year period between 1989 and 1991.

然而，他們真正跨界成功的單曲，都出現在 1989 年到 1991 年這兩年之間。

The first track, Love Song, was a hopeful power ballad that went on to become a gold record.

第一首歌曲 Love Song 是一首充滿希望的抒情搖滾歌曲，後來成為金唱片。

Love Me Sound Red, then a second smash hit came in the form of a cover of Five Man Electrical Bands so Signs.

接著是 Love Me Sound Red，然後他們的第二首熱門歌曲是翻唱 Five Man Electrical Band 的 Signs。

Both songs made it into the top 10 on the Billboard charts, but

這兩首歌都進入了 Billboard 排行榜的前十名，但是

despite consistent sales of their follow up albums, their singles would never chart in the top 50 again.

儘管他們後續專輯的銷量一直很穩定，但他們的單曲卻再也未能進入前 50 名。

Golden Earrings, Dutch icons Golden Earring are best known for charting in the US in 1973 with the infectious rocker Radar Love.

荷蘭的傳奇樂團 Golden Earring，最為人熟知的就是在 1973 年以感染力十足的搖滾歌曲 Radar Love 在美國排行榜上取得成功。

They were superstars in their home country and by no means two hit wonders there.

在他們家鄉，他們是超級巨星，絕非兩曲成名。

After five number one hit singles, however, their career followed a peculiar trajectory when they somehow climbed even higher on the US Charts a decade later.

然而，在擁有五首冠軍單曲後，他們的職業生涯卻走了一條奇特的軌跡，十年後他們竟然在美國排行榜上攀升得更高。

In 1982, their track Twilight Zone came out of nowhere to reach number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

1982 年，他們的歌曲 Twilight Zone 憑空出現，登上 Billboard 百大單曲榜第 10 名。

To this day, both singles are staples of classic rock radio, where they continue to remain in heavy rotation.

直到今天，這兩首單曲都是經典搖滾電臺的中堅力量，持續熱播。

For new wave band the Romantics, their signature song, what I Like about yout, only grew in its appeal years after it was released.

新浪潮樂團 The Romantics，他們代表歌曲 What I Like About You，在發行多年後，其魅力反而與日俱增。

Sure, it initially cracked the top 50 at number 49, but

當然，它最初曾以第 49 名的成績擠進前 50 名，但是

it eventually proved its enduring quality with its cult status.

最終以其邪典地位證明瞭其持久的品質。

The band's actual highest charting single was Talking in youn Sleep, which rose all the way to number three.

樂團實際最高排行榜單曲是 Talking in your Sleep，一路攀升到第三名。

Even though the track was unsuccessful in the United Kingdom, it hit number 15 when it was covered by Buck's Fizz in 1984.

雖然這首歌在英國並不成功，但在 1984 年被 Buck's Fizz 翻唱時，它衝到了第 15 名。

Those two tracks aside, they didn't exactly make the biggest impact, but

除了這兩首歌之外，他們並沒有造成最大的影響，但是

remain popular to those in the know to this very day.

Despite being a huge star in his home of Austria and in many other parts of Europe, it took a little longer for Falco to crack the US market.

儘管 Falco 在他的祖國奧地利和歐洲許多其他地方都是巨星，但他花了更長的時間才打入美國市場。

When he did, though, he became truly unavoidable in 1985.

然而，當他成功時，他在 1985 年變得無處不在。

Who can forget the jarring synths and chants of Rakmi Amadeus, by far his most famous release.

誰能忘記 Rakmi Amadeus 那刺耳的合成器和呼喊聲，這無疑是他最著名的作品。

What some people forget is that he also followed up that song with Vienna Calling, which charted in the top 20 in multiple countries.

有些人可能會忘記，他還推出了後續的 Vienna Calling，這首歌在多個國家都進入了前二十名。

The novelty wore off quickly, it seemed, and

這種新奇感似乎很快就消失了，

despite continuing success abroad, he never managed to replicate that success.

儘管他在國外持續獲得成功，但他從未能複製那樣的成就。

The upbeat, synth driven pop music of Men Without Hats was truly welcome.

Men Without Hats 那種充滿活力的合成器流行音樂，真的讓人耳目一新。

When they entered the musical field in 1982, their song the Safety Dance was the perfect introduction to the band hitting the top 15 of a number of countries while peaking at number three in the US.

他們在 1982 年進入樂壇時，歌曲 The Safety Dance 是他們完美的介紹，這首歌在多個國家進入了前十五名，並在美國達到第三名。

For many groups, that brief flicker of success would have been it, but

對於許多樂團來說，那短暫的成功就已經是極限了，但是

Men Without Hats once again achieved a gold record with Pop Goes the world in 1987.

Men Without Hats 在 1987 年以 Pop Goes the World 再次獲得了金唱片。

It was carefree music for a simpler time, and their quirkiness was always an absolute treat.

那是屬於一個更簡單時代的無憂無慮的音樂，他們的古靈精怪總是讓人覺得非常有趣。

Glam metal heroes Quiet Riot struggle to make an impact with their first two albums, albums that featured legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads.

華麗金屬樂團 Quiet Riot 在他們的前兩張專輯中，雖然有傳奇吉他手 Randy Rhoads 的參與，卻難以引起迴響。

When rhoads left in 1979, oddly enough, the band took off.

到了 1979 年 Rhoads 離開後，奇怪的是，樂團反而開始起飛了。

Their third album opens with the 12 attack of Come on, feel the noise and bang your head Metal Health.

他們的第三張專輯以〈Come on, feel the noise〉和〈Metal Health〉這兩首充滿力量的歌曲開場。

As it turned out, the group would take the idea of putting your best foot forward very literally.

結果證明，這個樂團真的把「全力以赴」這個概念發揮到了極致。

These two songs would be by far and away their biggest charting singles, the only tracks to crack the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.

這兩首歌將會是他們排行榜上最成功的單曲，也是唯一兩首打進 Billboard 百大單曲榜前 50 名的歌曲。

They have a special place in our hearts for that major splash they initially made.

我們心中對他們最初的重大突破，一直有個特別的位置。
