The Story

Will to Power were an American dance-pop act from Miami who scored a chart-topping hit with one inventive mash-up. "Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird", released in 1988, wove together Peter Frampton's gentle ballad and Lynyrd Skynyrd's rock anthem into a smooth freestyle-pop medley, and the unlikely combination reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The act had a couple of other charting moments, but nothing approached the reach of their genre-blending number one.

On streaming, "Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird" sits near 66 million plays, while their next most-streamed track trails at around 11 million. That puts the ratio above 6, past our 5.0 line.

By our measure Will to Power are a certified one-hit wonder. Theirs is a classic late-80s story: an act who found a clever, of-the-moment formula in one smooth medley that topped the charts, then watched the wider audience move on as the freestyle era faded, leaving that single inventive hit standing far ahead of everything else they recorded. Few one-hit wonders can claim a number one stitched together from two rock classics, and on streams that audacious medley still towers over the rest of their work.
