Lilly Wood and The Prick are a French duo, Nili Hadida and Benjamin Cotto, whose biggest moment came from someone else's reworking of their song. They first released "Prayer in C", a brooding acoustic track, in 2010, where it was a modest album cut. Four years later, the German DJ Robin Schulz remixed it into a deep-house anthem, and it exploded.
The Schulz remix topped charts across Europe and beyond, becoming one of the dance hits of 2014. The duo's original version, and the rest of their catalogue, sit far behind it on streaming.
The remix sits near 1.4 billion plays, while their next genuinely different track trails far below. That sends the ratio above 25, many times our 5.0 line.
By our measure Lilly Wood and The Prick are a certified one-hit wonder, with the streaming-era twist that has become a recurring theme: the version of the song that defines them is not the one they originally made, but a remix that a producer built on top of it and carried around the world. The duo wrote the song; someone else wrote its ticket to the charts.
