Chris Isaak
Chris Isaak has had great success... His retro-influenced rockabilly didn’t easily fit into the #Top40 radio trends in the late '80s & early '90s… and I don’t get the impression that he cared. He became a cult icon, though… and has amassed a huge, loyal following. #ChrisIsaak #OneHitWondered
American rockabilly revivalist Chris Isaak earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1991 with his haunting, atmospheric rock ballad "Wicked Game." The self-penned single spent 11 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #6. #ChrisIsaak #OneHitWondered
