One Hit Wonderland

One Hit Wonderland is where ToddInTheShadows takes a look at "one-hit wonders" of the past. In each review, specific segments include "Before the hit" (covering the artist's history before the hit), "The big hit" (a short review of the hit itself); "The failed follow-up" (for when it all went wrong for the artist); "Did they ever do anything else?" (originally "Did they have any other noteworthy songs?", to look at what else the artist has done); and "Did they deserve better?" (Todd's final say on the matter). Just as in Todd's Pop Song Reviews, Todd is enshrouded in shadow to enhance his mystery. In the beginning of every episode, he is seen playing his piano, which he has been playing for many years; and is usually playing the song that is featured in the review. The shadows conceal who he is as he could be just about anyone from a government spy to a humble church official.

In 2015, Todd opened a tier on his Patreon page that allowed four fans who paid $40 or more per video to request bands to do episodes on OHW for. These bands are Eiffel 65 (Blue (Da Ba Dee)), John Parr (St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)), Hanson (MMMBop), and The Vapors (Turning Japanese; changed from James Blunt, which itself was changed from Rage Against the Machine).
