French Montana is a Moroccan-American rapper with one of the busier careers in hip-hop, a fixture of mixtapes, collaborations, and guest verses for well over a decade. He is not, in the usual sense, a one-hit wonder. But on streaming, one record has pulled far ahead of the pack.
"Unforgettable", his 2017 single with Swae Lee, was a warm, Afrobeats-tinged smash, carried by a joyful viral dance-video campaign, and it became comfortably the biggest song of his career. It now sits near 2.9 billion plays.
He has plenty of other charting songs and high-profile features, with tracks like "No Stylist" pulling hundreds of millions of streams. Even so, dividing "Unforgettable" by his second biggest gives a ratio of about 6.3, past our 5.0 line.
So by our strict, numbers-only measure, French Montana registers as a certified one-hit wonder. It is a slightly counterintuitive result for such a prolific artist, and exactly the kind our threshold is built to surface: a career full of activity in which a single crossover hit so outshines the rest that, on streams alone, it stands nearly alone.
