Mike Perry is a Swedish DJ and producer who broke through internationally with one breezy, summery dance-pop single. "The Ocean", released in 2016 with the singer Shy Martin, was a warm, tropical-house-tinged track perfect for the season, and it became a genuine hit across Europe and beyond.
He is an active producer with a steady stream of releases, and within dance music he is a working name rather than a one-off. But on streaming, that one single has pulled clearly ahead of everything else he has made.
On streaming, "The Ocean" sits near 847 million plays, while his next most-streamed track, "Hands", trails at around 144 million. That puts the ratio at about 5.9, over our 5.0 line.
By our measure Mike Perry is a certified one-hit wonder, with the caveat that always applies to working dance producers. The genre runs on individual hits more than career arcs, and he remains busy, but on streams one perfectly judged summer single still does considerably more work than everything else in his catalogue combined. In dance music, that is closer to the rule than the exception.
