What are some examples of Solo Career One-Hit Wonders? Members of popular bands/groups that attempted a solo career or started up a new solo project after the band/group broke up, but only had one charting hit as a solo artist (Double One-Hit Wonders don't count)

I remember Todd mentioned in his One Hit Wonderland on "Ghetto Superstar" by Pras was if an act still counts as a one-hit wonder if they still had hits from a previous group they were in. Besides "Give It To You" by Jordan Knight and "Ghetto Superstar" by Pras, two acts that Todd has already covered on One-Hit Wonderland; the only other example of a solo career one-hit wonder I can think of is "Cake By The Ocean" by DNCE, Joe Jonas's band after the Jonas Brothers broke up. As far as I know, Cake By The Ocean is the band's only charting hit.

What are some diamonds in the rough "In Da Club" songs from the early 2010s? (Don't say the Axis of Awesome song)

When Todd first started making videos, a lot of popular music at the time (2009-2010) was very easy to make fun of because a lot of pop songs at the time were "In Da Club" as Todd calls it. As much as I have nostalgia for that era of pop music, I do agree that a lot of songs ta that time were made for dance floors at night clubs; and they weren't even memorable dance floor songs, a lot of "In Da Club" songs from the early 2010s were very clearly made to be filler in a night club DJ's playlist. That being said, that must've been a few "In Da Club" songs at that time that are genuinely enjoyable. Dynamite by Taio Cruz was my jam when I was 11 years old, and it's still great all these years later.

Comedy songs don't count

What were the exact moments where the "Famous for being relatable" singer (or band/group) became too famous to be relatable?

In one of Drew Gooden's videos, he discussed celebrities the become famous for being relatable people; but the downside to that is, eventually the "relatable celebrity" will become too famous to relate to. When a "relatable celebrity" becomes more famous, it's impossible to still relate to the audience that made the celebrity famous in the first place.

The biggest example of that with singers is Taylor Swift. When she started as a country singer, she was a teenager and naturally wrote and released songs that teenage girls could relate to; but after transitioning to Top 40 pop(I know her country albums had Top 40 hits, but those were still country songs. Red is when she went full radio-pop), she was too famous to relate to. How do you still be the "relatable, everyday, girl next door" when living in a mansion and selling out stadiums?
