Silver were a short-lived American soft-rock band who left behind one sunny, enduring hit. "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang", released in 1976, was a bright, harmony-laden piece of mid-70s pop-rock with a nonsense-syllable chorus, and it became a sizeable US hit, the kind of breezy radio song that has quietly outlived the group that made it.
The band did not last long and never landed another single of note, so to the extent they are remembered at all, it is entirely through that one cheerful track.
On streaming, "Wham Bam Shang-A-Lang" sits near 225 million plays, while their next most-streamed track trails at around one million. That sends the ratio above 200, one of the most extreme figures in our entire database.
By our measure Silver are a certified one-hit wonder of the very starkest kind. Their catalogue, on the numbers, is essentially one good-natured slice of 70s soft rock, a song built for the radio that found just enough of an audience to endure, while the band behind it disappeared so completely that the single track now stands almost entirely alone.
