“Crush” became a surprise hit for the previously unknown Jennifer Paige in the fall of 1998. Before her album was even released, she was out on the road, performing the song on television in support of her newfound fame. Unfortunately, she was never able to match the heights of the meteoric rise of her debut single. Our Patreon supporters demanded it, so this week, Matt and I dive into this iconic pop song, and we might solve the mystery (or rewrite history) of why Jennifer wasn’t able to repeat her success.

Last night was the Super Bowl, so naturally, Chris watched for the love of the sport, while Matt tuned in for the love of funny commercials and the halftime show. Today, they break down their thoughts on Usher's Halftime Performance and also quickly go over their favorite commercials. They discuss who will play the Super Bowl halftime show next, commercials for Jesus, and the once-in-a-lifetime talent of Patrick Mahomes. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s Super Bowl week here at One Hit Thunder, and to celebrate, we’re playing fast and loose with the term “hit” so we can discuss multi-sport athlete turned musician Deion Sanders and his 1994 single “Must Be The Money.” If you were a sports fan in the '90s, you knew how electrifying Prime Time was on the field, but did he match that intensity on the mic? Hammer seemed to think so, even if the public at large didn’t necessarily agree. Stay tuned so you can, at the very least, be impressed with Neon Deion’s sports accomplishments.

If you played Rock Band or Guitar Hero in the mid-2000s, you know DragonForce. If you mastered their power metal classic "Through the Fire and Flames," you'd be the talk of any party (the talk being, "imagine if that guy could actually play that song on a real guitar instead of tapping colors on a piece of plastic"). Joining us this week is One Hit Thunder favorite Matt DiStefano to discuss this cult-favorite band and their one and only trip to the Billboard Hot 100.

This week, we’re joined by my friend (and the only person I know who’s competed on The Voice) Jimmy Mowery to discuss one of his favorite songs from the ‘90s, Dog’s Eye View’s “Everything Falls Apart”. This quickly written song about a hangover was everywhere in 1996, and vocalist and songwriter Peter Stuart seemed to be a favorite of many of his more well-known contemporaries…so why did it all seem to fall apart for this promising band? Stay tuned as we investigate the band’s the back catalog and see if we can put the story back together. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

In this bonus episode, Matt and Chris review the new Green Day album "Saviors," which was released this weekend. Before we dive into the album, however, Matt tells us about going to the SiriusXM record release party in New York that Thursday. We also discuss our Green Day fandom leading up to this album and vent about how much we dislike Jimmy Fallon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you played EA Sports video games in 2005—or if you simply tuned into the radio—you couldn't escape Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out,” a disco-inspired rock song with an unusual structure and an even stranger music video. Critics showered praise on this stylish band's hook-laden dance music, and although the song only reached #66 on the Hot 100, it has become an inescapable classic that remains relevant even today. At the request of our Patreon supporters, we’re diving deeper into the band this week to understand what all the hype was about. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

If you reflect on the joyous music that graced the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 2015, it would be hard to believe that people were engaged in activities beyond falling in love and relishing a warm breeze. No song illustrated this point more vividly than OMI’s “Cheerleader,” a whimsical tropical tune that soared to the coveted #1 spot on the charts. However, the question remains: why didn’t the US clamor for more of OMI, considering he undeniably had songs worthy of being soundtracks to fireworks and hula hoop sessions? This week, we're joined by Tony Hartman to explore whether we can consider ourselves as cheerleaders for OMI’s career. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

Blending influences from around the globe, Pittsburgh’s own Rusted Root made their mark on music history with their unforgettable 1992 hit, “Send Me On My Way”. This joyous tune only hit #72 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the song’s prominence in movies, TV, and commercials has eclipsed its initial chart performance. This week, we’ll dive further into the story and back catalog of Rusted Root to decide if we’d like to hold their little hand or tell them to run.
