Spragga Benz: One Hit Wonder Of The Decade?

Reggae Mix Online

Seani B chats to Kevin Lyttle and Spragga Benz at The Urban Music Festival 2004

Spragga Benz was featured in Billboard’s Best Of The 2000’s One Hit Wonders only because he collaborated with Kevin Lyttle who, along with several other artists, was named one of Billboard’s One-Hit Wonders…of the decade. The song that gained Kevin Lyttle that title is Turn Me On which hit No. 4 on the U.S. Pop charts in 2004.

An artist gets that title if he/she makes it in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and never hitting the top 25 mark the next time around. In other words…the artist was hot then flopped, simple as that!
