Here's number 20's description on wiki:

*********** is a Southern California based band, best known for their debut single "******************." Both their debut single and album ************* were released on Atlantic Records in September 2000. **************** has a distinctive sound, combining hip-hop, rock music, and pop with laid-back reggae.

They have 3 albums.

So that rules out Jonah Fucking Lewie and his Cavalry.
If we are talking about UK singles chart, which I was, they had a number 2, then followed up with a number 25 then never broke the top 40 again..... I would consider that a one hit wonder.

As for the Mavericks, again i was only counting the UK single chart, not the Deep South "tunes to listen to while you're fingering your sister" charts. As such they had a number 4 (which I inexplicably bought!) and a number 24.

BTW Richard why the fuck were you watching CMT anyway?!?!

CMT used to be good. Kind of ironic that they managed to have a country station back in the day when there were only 3 music channels, but now they have loads of channels they all play pretty much the same music.

I think CMT Europe went bust or something, hence not being able to bring it back.

I like country music as well, but only good country music! Garth fucking Brooks? Listening to him is akin to being hit in the face with a bag of shit, excreted and swung by Kerry Katona.
