Okay just stop it. He is not a one-hit wonder.

If you want to follow a very limited definition of an act that has exactly one song on Billboard's Top 40 then yes that's very hard to argue. However, following a very narrow definition such as this allows quite a few very well-known, long respected artists to fall through the cracks. The real idea being conveyed by the term is the tendency of many, many artists to completely disappear from public view after a relatively short period of intense fame. Billy Ray Cyrus does not fit that profile.
By following the narrow definition these artists are also one-hit wonders
Garth Brooks
Jimmy Hendrix
Janis Joplin
Queen Latifah
Rush
Randy Travis
The White Stripes
The Grateful Dead

In case you missed it, he DID disappear from public view after a relatively short period of intense fame (he just had more than one song in that time). He got famous again riding the wave of his daughter, who, with her father's help, has become just as trashy as him.
Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.
