Music critics debate the exact meaning of the phrase “one-hit wonder” and its origins. Apparently, Winnipeg Free Press first used the term in the late 1970s when describing how the pop group Abba avoided this label.  Data journalist Dan Kopf believes that one-hit wonders could become extinct because of the ever-changing music industry. Others argue that social media kills one-hit wonders because artists can release music quickly and use their social media presence to build a dedicated fanbase.
