Tom Odell is an English singer-songwriter whose debut single, "Another Love", arrived in October 2012. A raw piano ballad about heartbreak and emotional exhaustion, it was a modest success at first, reaching the UK top ten in 2013 and helping launch a steady career of well-received albums.
Then something unusual happened. A decade after release, "Another Love" went hyper-viral on TikTok in 2022, widely used in emotional videos including many supporting Ukraine, and it charted all over again across Europe and beyond. The song's second life dwarfed its first.
Today "Another Love" sits near 3.5 billion streams, an extraordinary total for a quiet piano song. Odell has kept making music throughout, and tracks like "Heal" have found real audiences, but his next biggest song trails at under 500 million plays.
That is a gap of more than seven to one, which puts his ratio at about 7.24, past our 5.0 threshold. By our measure Tom Odell is a certified one-hit wonder, even though he is an active, working artist with a deep catalogue. The certification is simply about the streaming shape of one remarkable, slow-blooming song, not the size of his talent.
