Powter track tops 'One-Hit Wonder' list

Daniel Powter's 2005 hit 'Bad Day' has been named the biggest one-hit wonder of the decade.

The track, which was used as the kiss-off song on the fifth season of American Idol, came first in the list compiled by Billboard.

Despite spending five weeks at No. 1 in the US, Powter did not achieve any further chart success.

Other songs featured in the list include James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful' at 6, Lou Bega's 'Mambo No. 5' at 13 and Samantha Mumba's 'Gotta Tell You' in 20th place
