Description

But rising up the charts seemed, at many points in his career, highly unlikely.

This is his story of failing his way to the top. Sam Hollander has spent thirty years trudging through the peaks and valleys of a songwriting career.

Before he was stacking Billboard hits, he was piling up bad luck, calamitous flops, false starts, and feeling like the world was moving on and up without him while he spun in place.

Now he wears his failures like a badge of honor. In 21-Hit Wonder, he’s collected anecdotes from his weird waltzes around the banquet of pop to help aspiring songwriters and other creatives learn about survival, endurance, scheming, hustle, and the importance of laughing even on the worst days of the journey.

Music lovers spanning generations and genres will find stories about many of their heroes and industry icons. 21-Hit Wonder is one part chronicle of a songwriter’s storied career and another part love letter to anyone who has been counted out — from no-hit wonders and one-hit wonders to the novelties and the never-beens—and just needs a bit of inspiration to persevere.

Sam’s inspiring story is proof that setbacks are just steps on the road to success.
