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
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
Commercially successful as well as relevant in The masses
Wap
Rockstar
What’s poppin
Watermelon sugar
Etc
If song is big, hit. If song small, no hit.
Would a song that goes platinum in less than a year be a hit?
If it’s played at my local barbershop

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

All my homies throwing ass for WAP
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

Yessir
B****es love this song
Even the quiet b****es
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.

Watermelon Sugar I hear that s*** all the time, it’s a hit

Never heard the song personally, but I don't go out much
