	One-hit wonders in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A one-hit wonder is a Top-40 phenomenon: the combination of artist and song that scores big in the music industry with one smash hit, but is unable to repeat the achievement with another hit.
		In fact, if the Billboard Hot 100 had been based on airplay instead of single sales (as is now done), few, if any, of these bands would have had only one hit.
		Zappa's "Valley Girl" is an interesting case because this song, like many one-hit wonders, was marketed as a single, and capitalized on something popular in pop culture.

	The JFK Assassination Single Bullet Theory
		If the Single Bullet Theory is true, then Kennedy had to be hit at the same time, and again, detailed scrutiny of the film shows this was likely the case.
		Supposedly, a bullet hitting "this low" could not exit the throat at the collar where the single bullet would have to.
		His essay "The Case for a Bunched Jacket" shows that Kennedy's jacket was bunched in the majority of pictures of the motorcade in Dallas, and that Kennedy's posture at the time of the Single Bullet hit makes it overwhelmingly likely that the jacket was bunched at that moment.

	RollingStone.com: Led Zeppelin : Zeppelin Single To Hit U.K. Charts : News
		(NEW YORK) - Trivia question: "How many top 10 singles has Led Zeppelin had in the U.K., and why?" The answer is none, and the reason until this week is that Led Zeppelin never released any singles in Britain, preferring its albums to stand on their own.
		The track that ends Led Zeppelin's absence from the U.K. singles chart is "Whole Lotta Love," which remains the band's biggest U.S. hit, having peaked at No. 4 the week of Jan. 31, 1970.
		Zeppelin had a total of nine chart entries on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, although "Whole Lotta Love" was the only one to reach the top 10.

	The Beatles Biography - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
		While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music (and the extreme hysterical reaction they received from young women), their later works achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequaled in the 20th century.
		However, a virtual reunion occurred in 1995 with the release of two original Lennon recordings which had the additional contributions of the remaining Beatles mixed in to create two hit singles: "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love".
		Three albums of unreleased material and studio outtakes were also released, as well as a documentary and television miniseries, in a project known as The Beatles Anthology.
