I think September is a good example of this. Cry For You is without a doubt her biggest hit by far but not the only one and dare I say, nowhere near even being her best.

 

Who else?

Lorde.

Carly Rae Jepsen

Le Ann Rimes and How Do I Live kinda fits?

Most? I feel unless an artist is still active or really concerned with their legacy (or have a team preserving it), they all eventually get reduced to a single hit.

Anne-Marie
Ashanti
Ava Max
Bebe Rexha
Christina Milian
G-Eazy
Saweetie
Shawn Mendes

Yeah, I’ve noticed that even most of the biggest hitmakers basically get reduced to 3-4 signature songs. Like no matter how many smashes you have, there will be no more than 4 songs that everybody knows / loves. 

Kylie Minogue to that song she did 22 years ago

Sam Smith

 

Even I thought they only had one hit. I was shocked

Some of yall just making **** up

Girl… Kylie has a wide catalog of hits.

 

She just never established any mainstream success in the states outside of Fever.

In my head, that's the one that rounds out her hit trilogy

As it should. Amazing song and MAYA is my fave album from her.

Carly Rae Jepsen

Owl City

 

Ironically these two had a hit collab together but most people would only them for Call Me Maybe and Fireflies respectively.

Belinda Carlisle maybe? Or Wham!
