'''One 2 Many''' was a short-lived Norwegian-Swedish band consisting of Dag Kolsrud ([[keyboard instrument|keyboards]]), Camilla Griehsel ([[singing|vocals]]) and Jan Gisle Ytterdal ([[guitar]]).

Formed in 1987, the band released their first and only album ''Mirror'' on [[A&M Records]] in 1988.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/mirror-mr0000091972|title=Mirror - One 2 Many | Release Info|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> The Scandinavian pop track "Downtown", was an immediate success in Europe, reaching #1 for five weeks in Norway.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://norwegiancharts.com/weekchart.asp?cat=s&year=1988&date=198846|title=norwegiancharts.com - Norwegian charts portal|website=Norwegiancharts.com}}</ref> In the [[United States|US]], the song was also a success, reaching #37 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], #18 on the [[Billboard Adult Contemporary|AC]] chart and #30 on the [[Hot Dance Club Songs|Dance]] chart in May 1989.<ref name="Bill" /> Three further singles were released, namely "Another Man", "Writing on the Wall" and "Nearly There", but while promotion was still underway, the band had already split. [[Allmusic]] labels them a candidate for the "least remembered one-hit wonder ever".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/one-2-many-mn0000476187|title=One 2 Many | Biography & History|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref>
