Wait a minute Jason the Beatles had another hit. I believe She Loves You was top 30 some time in the sixties. So technically, they are not a one hit wonder - just wannabes

I believe Kim Carnes had a couple of hits, or semi hits and at least one duet with some one else, I may be wrong on her!

This thread is interesting in that there are some names listed that were one hit wonders in the States but had more than a few hits elsewhere.Gary Glitter was enormous in the U.K but had only one hit in the States for example.
