They had 4 top 10 singles lol.

Well, regionally they are. It was their only hit here in the U.S. Hope it still qualifies.

There is no completely agreed upon metric for what constitutes a one-hit wonder. Generally, I think the Billboard Hot 100 (the main US chart) is used. Some may be purists about it (must have only 1 Top 40), while others may allow another as long as the band/person is really only widely known for a single song. And it doesn't seem right to call a popular band of many years like the Grateful Dead a one-hit wonder, though in fact they only appeared in the Top 40 once.

Can't believe nobody posted this:

"Vehicle", The Ides of March
