Name these One Hit Wonders from their failed followup singles. For this quiz, a OHW is an artist who only reached the Top 40 in the US once.
At TCONA, this was a Geeks Who Drink-style "Sooner or Later" round. Teams could hand in their answers after hearing the failed followup question for extra points, or wait to hear the hit song for normal points. Since there's no way to do that kind of quiz on Alpaca Farm, I'll be giving extra clues about the artists instead.

This American rock band's sole hit from their album Camino Palmero reached #5 in 2001, but dominated the Adult Top 40 chart, and was listed by Billboard as the number one song of the decade on the Adult charts.
Failed followup: "Could It Be Any Harder" (did not chart) (edited at 2:38 pm, August 11, 2018 (PDT))
This Welsh singer's big hit reached #2 in 1996, and was kept from the #1 spot only by another One Hit Wonder: Los Del Rio's "Macarena".
Failed followup: "Without Love" (#41-- just barely failing to make her a Two Hit Wonder!)
This Australian band's #4 hit in 1990 showcased lead singer Chrissy Amphlett's sultry, autoerotic vocals.
Failed followup: "Love School" (did not chart)
This Italian new wave band's lead singer, Jimmy McShane, hailed from Northern Ireland. Their big hit, which reached #13 in 1985, is sometimes considered a prototypical example of the "Millennium Whoop."
Failed followup: "Living in the Background" (#87; also the title track of their debut album)
This British power pop band's biggest hit only reached #36 in the US, but was a Top Ten single in the UK, Canada, and Australia (where it reached #1). The lead singer and main songwriter, David Fenton, swears that the song is not about masturbation.
Failed followup: "Waiting for the Weekend" (did not chart)
This American singer-songwriter's biggest hit (#5 in 1975) did for vans what "Convoy" did for CB radio.
Failed followup: "Early Morning Love" (#68)
You might hear this band's big hit of 1966 (#11) played at TD Garden or Fenway Park, if the home team wins.
Failed followup: "Good Guys Don't Wear White" (#43)
This doo-wop group tried several novelty songs after their big hit, which reached #5 in 1958, but none were successful. Their one hit was name-checked by Don McLean in "American Pie."
Failed followup: "Zombi" (did not chart)
