MUSIC/ POWTER NAMED TOP ONE HIT WONDER: Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Powter has been named the decade's top one-hit wonder by Billboard magazine. Powter's single "Bad Day" spent 5 weeks at the top of the Billboard chart in 2006 and was also a big hit across Europe. Billboard describes a one-hit wonder as an act whose second single did not reach the top 25. It is based on acts from 2000 to 2007, as someone who released a single last year may just be taking a break. #2 on the list is Terror Squad for "Lean Back," #3 is Crazy Town with "Butterfly," MIMS is at #4 with "This Is Why I'm Hot" and #5 is D4L with Laffy Taffy. Powter's "Bad Day" was the most played song in the UK between 2002 and 2008, the Performing Rights Society said. "It's got one of those three or four-word lyrics that means something to everyone's everyday life," SonyBMG last year. "No-one wants a bad day, but everybody has one."
