SR-71 are an American rock band, led by Mitch Allan, who landed one bright, sardonic hit at the turn of the millennium. "Right Now", released in 2000, is a punchy, hook-laden slice of pop-punk, and it became a sizeable radio and MTV hit, the band's defining moment.
There is a notable footnote: Allan co-wrote and SR-71 originally recorded "1985", which became a far bigger hit as a cover for Bowling for Soup. As a band, though, SR-71 never followed "Right Now" with anything on the same scale under their own name.
On streaming, "Right Now" sits near 74 million plays, while their next most-streamed track trails at around 11 million. That sends the ratio above 6, past our 5.0 line.
By our measure SR-71 are a certified one-hit wonder, with the caveat that their frontman had a hand in another act's bigger hit. It is simply that one snappy, wry pop-punk single became the band's calling card, a fixture of early-2000s rock radio that stands far ahead of everything else they recorded under their own name. There is a neat irony in it: the band wrote a song that became a far bigger hit for someone else, yet on their own streams it is "Right Now" that towers over the rest.
