    How do you determine if a song is a hit?

    Would y'all consider a song that goes platinum in under a year a hit?

    If @blahblahem likes it

    If it's received well and played a lot, charts dont mean s*** if its barely played outside radio

    If song is big, hit. If song small, no hit.

    Longevity in a high chart position (at least within Top 30/40)

    Consistent radio play

    A song doesn’t necessarily have to be received well overall for it to be a hit song, it just has to be liked enough by a certain group or demographic

    Would a song that goes platinum in less than a year be a hit?

    If it’s played at my local barbershop

    Clearly whatever my favorite song is at the moment.

    Objectively speaking, of course.

    Wap is relevant in what masses? Is it huge in the states?

    going by the fact that it's had the strongest week for a song since OTR on the hot 100, I'd wager yes

    If every person in my circle including myself has heard the song and can recall it by name alone then it’s a hit

    My circle is diverse and all encompassing so if someone hasn’t heard some s*** then the reach ain’t strong enough.

    Example: that watermelon sugar s*** ain’t a hit. Some of them never heard of it. Great song tho.

    I feel like most "hits" are isolated, like if you aren't from the demographic you can escape/miss most of modern "hits" occasionally there's the crossover hit like happy by Pharrell Williams for example.
