iLoveMemphis is an American rapper who rode a viral dance to one big hit in the mid-2010s. "Hit the Quan", released in 2015, was built around a simple, infectious move that spread rapidly across social media, and the song followed the dance up the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of that year's defining challenge-driven anthems.
Like many dance-craze hits, its success was tied to participation, and once the trend cooled the rapper was unable to land another single on anything like the same scale.
On streaming, "Hit the Quan" sits near 109 million plays, while his next most-streamed track trails at around 19 million. That puts the ratio above 5, over our line.
By our measure iLoveMemphis is a certified one-hit wonder, of the modern dance-challenge variety. His is a familiar mid-2010s story: an artist whose song was inseparable from the routine that powered it, enormous for the season the challenge ran, then left behind as the internet moved on to the next dance, with that single viral track standing far ahead of everything else he put out. It is a textbook example of how the social-media era can manufacture a hit overnight and just as quickly move on, leaving one song to carry an entire career.
