Who Is Daniel Powter? The One-Hit-Wonder Artist Of The Decade* I had never heard of Daniel Powter, but unfortunately, I am familiar with his song “Bad Day.” Made popular by the fifth season of American Idol — the song was used behind photo montages when contestants were voted off the show — “Bad Day” was the biggest-selling single of 2006. (Oh, 2006, how terrible you must feel!) Looking over the rest of Billboard’s one-hot-wonder list of the ’00s, I’m a bit surprised that James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” didn’t earn the top spot. (Also from 2006, by the way. Ugh.)

But he’s not the only one to be granted this dubious honor — also on the list are “Butterfly” by Crazy Town and “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. Sources: http://www.zimbio.
