> Really? My impression has always been that one hit wonders were usually bands that just didn't stick for a variety of reasons both internal and external. But I have only scattered knowledge of the mainstream and obscure and much of it stops past 2000.
on one hand, you are right that one-hit wonders don´t stick to the public nor any scene in particular when it comes to albums. On the other hand, despite attempting to release more singles out of those albums, the radios always cherrypick one of those singles and the rest doesn´t matter. They do stick in terms of selling tons of copies with that famous song but as a listener, would you come back to that album as a whole so you listen to it front to back (or at least a good amount of songs) or would you simply listen to that famous single in a playlist/compilation with the greatest hits of other bands?

People tend to do the latter (for the most part) despite that the internet has prevented to buy the records first and check the entire album. Nowadays, that trend has changed lately (and the non-singles sometimes beat the popularity of the main singles in terms of views) but before this cybernetic space, good luck at trusting to the famous song alone.

 >Can't complain at pleasant surprises.
especially when the one-hit wonder that I have traditionally listened in the radio over the years was Lovefool, you can imagine how low my bar was set towards them (not that it offends me or anything. It´s simply that I would rather listen to other songs instead). If I only knew that My Favorite Game came from them as well...

> Music is hard to break in or stay in.
definitely, especially when it comes to the mainstream and breaking through a decent amount of popularity. Those two challenges are hard to accomplish and with this one, I wanted to show how the trends change and despite complaining about the current day every time that one looks at top of the charts, it proves that the period of prominence doesn´t always last too long.  All trends/mainstream bands come and go.

> Funny story with this one as their is this one PMV that I have often run into over the years that uses this song. 
it´s about Rainbow Dash when it comes to her speed... yeah, it fits because the original video consists in driving a roadster with several clips that could have perfectly proceeded from a Hollywood action film. 

> It is not something that I'd call my favorite thing in the world but do to running in to it and it sticking with me it left a bit of haunting nostalgia. 
considering that all the material used was from the first two seasons, it was clearly made during the early era. 

> I've heard the other Lovefool before but not Erase/Rewind.
me neither. Erase/Rewind had more radio play in other countries of Europe (Denmark, Sweden and a few other ones) but in my country, Lovefool became the first pick to use for the radios by a very long mile.  
 
> I think but My Favorite Game I became familiar with for that reason. Though I never looked into the band perhaps I will even if it ain't my normal cup of tea.
ironic that MLP (a fanmade video) introduced you to that song. Now, about the albums...I haven´t dived all that deep but let me tell you that the singles represent a quite skewed sample from what you would expect. If I had to pick one album from them, I would personally choose Long Gone Before Daylight because it really feels like an actual album. Others prefer Life or Gran Turismo but eh, I suppose they have their reasons to like those...
