One and Only – The Best “One-Hit Wonder” Songs of All Time

The Darkness – “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” (2003)

“Can’t explain all the feelings that you’re making me feel! My heart’s in overdrive and you’re behind the steering wheel…”

When “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” was released by The Darkness, everyone thought that the band would usher in a new age of glam rock. Unfortunately, this not exactly what happened.

While the song did exceptionally well in the UK and managed to reach number nine on the Billboard Alternative chart, The Darkness was never able to follow up on the track’s success. “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” still remains popular and has been covered countless times throughout the years, including Taylor Swift, Hanson, and Adam Lambert.
