This is a list of musical artists whose one American hit came out in the 1990s.
The list contains recording artists who reached the Top 40 of the U.S. pop chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with just one single. In some special cases, an "A" may appear next to the peak position, denoting that the act's only Top 40 hit was on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. In these cases, a commercial single was not released, therefore disqualifying it from the main Billboard Hot 100 chart; this rule was revoked after December 5, 1998.
Those in italics are artists with only one Top 40 hit, but either
- had other songs chart on genre-specific charts
- have had success and influence within their genre or the annals of popular music and/or
- a long-lasting and devoted cult following and/or
- wider success in other fields of the music industry
- a long-lasting and devoted cult following and/or
- are a non-American act who have had wider success in their homeland
- are a supergroup made up of artists who were successful and influential in other bands or as solo artists.
