L'expression en anglais s'applique aussi bien à la chanson qu'à son interprète, alors que l'expression en français ne s'applique qu'à la chanson. On parle alors d'«auteur d'un succès sans lendemain» ou d'«interprète d'un succès sans lendemain». 2, record 2, French, - auteur%20de%20succ%C3%A8s%20sans%20lendemain
