This genre focuses on orchestral melodies, making it different from today’s music. However, modern music would not exist without the influence of classical music.

National One-Hit Wonder Day is on September 25. Music journalist Steve Rosen created this day in 1990 to celebrate artists who had a brief moment of fame but have been forgotten since then.

You might forget your best friend’s birthday, but you'll always remember the chorus of ‘Ice, Ice Baby.’ These songs are linked to special moments in our past, and thinking about them helps us reconnect with who we used to be.
