I'm bored and watching the Top 40 One Hit Wonders of the 90's and they can't even get their own "rules" right... I don't even know why I'm caring enough to post this but whatever.

Meredith Brooks: Bitch peaked at #2 in 1997 but she also had a hit that peaked at #46 in 1998 with What Would Happen.
Haddaway: What Is Love peaked at #11 but Life peaked at #41. Both released in 1993.

On the flipside, Belly's only hit was Feed the Tree which peaked at #95.

So either it's a legit "one hit wonder" in the US or... I don't even know anymore. It can't be a Top 20 hits only b/c Belly doesn't even come close.

I always thought it was only considered a hit if it cracked the top 40.

There's a difference between a hit and a single. Too many people associate a single as a hit because it got a tiny bit of airplay.

I watched part of their Cutest Child Stars list, and they totally copped out with The Simpson's kids being number one.

Mac Caulken and Drew Barrymore were 2 and 3.

I remember watching VH1's 100 Greatest Love Songs of All Time or such back in high school (probably 2002 or 03). Boston's More Than a Feeling was on, and is what introduced me to the band. Went on a huge Boston kick after that. That is all.
