In true #OneHitWonder fashion, OXO broke up at the high point of having a #Billboard #Top40 hit… While their hit was on the chart, the group faced internal tension and creative differences. The band politics/infighting between management and their label doomed OXO #OneHitWondered

Smaller categories include Longing for Love, Bad Relationships, Dancing, Bragging, Partying, Empowerment, Death, Badassery, and Infidelity. The chart uses black music-note icons on a light background, with counts and percentages aligned on the right and example songs listed under each topic.
