Was Amy Winehouse a one hit wonder?

[Greedo punched first]

She was a great singer. Did she have at least two hits, or was she just a one hit wonder like the Georgia Satellites (their one hit was “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”). Does she deserve Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction or not?

[dead0man]

no, she was famous before she recorded the only song I know she sings.

she does not deserve to in the RRHOF.  Being famous and dying young is not enough.

[jaymichaud]

No, she was massive during the BTB era.

She doesn’t deserve RRHOF induction. What hits did she have other than “Rehab”?

[Del Tachi]

Voted "yes" but actually meant "no"

She does deserve RRHOF, if only for the fact that she is much better than Journey, The Lovin' Spoonful and Stevie Nicks as a solo act (not with Fleetwood Mac!)

You would probably say “no” to RRHOF induction if she were alive today. What were her other hits?

"Back to Black" is the obvious one?

That is her biggest hit album. Was the title track a hit or an obscure song?

the title track was very good and I believe certified platinum, so I feel justified in calling it a "hit"

If I'm remembering correctly, "Back To Rehab" was bigger than "Back To Black" in Canada. Not 100% sure though.

It was certified platinum, but in 2015, after her death in 2011. Would it have gone platinum if she were alive today? I wouldn’t put her in the same category as Janis Joplin and Hank Williams, who died at a young age but made many hits when they were still living.

Looking at her Spotify, she obviously isn't a one hit wonder as she has 6 songs with over 100 million streams. Compare this to Rick Astley or RamJam where only "Never gonna give you up" and "Black Betty" have over 100 million streams out of their entire catalogues respectively (with no other songs coming close).

As to whether or not she deserves to be in the RRHOF, I would argue no as her musical style isn't Rock music and has little to do with the development of Rock music. The RRHOF especially as of late have made the term "Rock" absolutely meaningless by inducting a variety of pop, hip-hop, contemporary R&B and disco groups with little to no relevance to the macro-genre, especially at the expense of actual Rock and rock derived (Metal) groups such as Iron Maidan, Judas Priest, The Smiths, Thin Lizzy, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, etc. All in all, its quite obvious that the small group of people that run the Hall are a bunch of money hungry, biased boomers that don't actually give a darn about the genre they claim to represent.

She had 9 Top 40 UK hits and two albums that sold over a million copies, so no.

Liz Phair had only one top 40 US pop hit ("Why Can't I" reached #10), but "Everything to Me" was fairly popular and reached #27 on the Adult Top 40 and still gets played in pharmacies and elevators today. Does this mean Liz Phair had more hits in the US than Amy Winehouse?

I've never heard of Liz Phair before so I don't know, you tell me.

Have you heard of Bill Champlin, who sang big hits for Chicago in the 80s, like "Hard Habit to Break"? How many US hits did Amy Winehouse have? Liz Phair had two.
