Instead, read the words of this 1 star review left by Royalsfan83 with the subject line “Garbage”: Yet another music podcast by insipid, try-hard millennials who amaze themselves at how edgy they are. You can get this content from countless other shows minus the delusional leftist rants. Hard pass.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T08:19:51.016660+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761"},"episode":{"title":"“Mercy” by Duffy","slug":"mercy-by-duffy","published_at":"2026-04-29T21:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761/mercy-by-duffy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-hit-thunder-675761","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/swap.fm/track/2IMk17EdnEqyRhJTIpIU/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN7941178146.mp3?updated=1777510743","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/swap.fm/track/2IMk17EdnEqyRhJTIpIU/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN7941178146.mp3?updated=1777510743","summary":"In 2008, Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy looked ready to take over the world of music. Her Motown-inspired single “Mercy” was a huge hit all over the globe (with the notable exception of the United States.) Despite its moderate chart success in the US, the song was featured in movies, TV shows, and it even earned her a Grammy. Duffy’s momentum continued into her second album, and just when she seemed poised to NEVER be discussed on a podcast about one hit wonders, her career suddenly hit the brakes. Years later, she shared the harrowing story behind the reason for this, and a forthcoming documentary will shed even more light on her tragic story. Though we’ll undoubtedly learn so much more about Duffy once it’s released, we’re diving into her life, times, and soulful music this week on the show.
