Welcome to You Wanted a Hit!

A podcast about unlikely, perplexing, and positively bizarre hit songs that swept the nation, and often the world. 

Have you ever heard a classic song and thought, "why on Earth was this popular?" Or "How did this even get played on the radio?" Well, we're here to answer these questions for you. Each episode we will explore the backstory, creation, and success of one unlikely smash hit. The catch? Only one host knows which song will be the topic. Hosted by music fanatics and pop culture enthusiasts Michael Smith and Theo Beidler, with occasional special guests.
