Too many stuff to define it

Song that people listen to = hit

That “oh no” tik tok song is popular and it’s not a hit

Cheapening the word imo

We’re talking about artists with millions upon millions of fans, most of their songs are songs people listen to

Put it this way: if you didn’t know how many streams the song Portland by Drake had, would you consider it a hit record?

To be fair doesn't that make every song off a super popular album a "hit" at some point

Damn projecting over 100k more than GNX during the “Dot Era”

Drake won again

Nevermind by Nirvana is like x2 Diamond Eligible but Lounge Act isn't a hit

chart success always meant hit, at least before streaming. there’s always been popular album cuts and streaming amplified that

fair trade literally has a billion streams on spotify. mr morale has nothing close to that so i'm not sure why you think they're comparable sales wise. in fact clb has 5 songs with 600 million+ spotify streams and mr morale has none

why do kendrick fans keep trying to act like he's comparable with drake numbers wise

will iceman crack the whip on the streamers if streams keep falling off?

posting misleading stats won't change that Iceman first week sales will beat gnx

saying that drake stans have a deep obsession with his music and kendrick stans don't is truly f***ing hilarious

literally go to the iceman thread and it's just papi's angels like condom eyes crying about kendrick for the 100th time instead of talking about the music that dropped 3 days ago

Kendrick Lamar Data

nigga i said songs that charted high and had no longevity which CLB and MMTBS have in common and bring up life time streams, it’s like talking to a child

MMTBS has several songs with 400 million+ streams or does a “hit” have to have 600 million?

I think obviously with streaming nowdays its get different and the bar get bigger but i think a song reaching a billion stream should be considered a hit

bruh stop posting facts, it’s misleading

The number changes based on the narrative

Radio doesnt decide whats a hit b

We in 2026

you brought up the comparison when there's none to be had. those two albums have two different levels of commercial impact short and long term-wise. mr morale didn't even have a #1 like Way too Sexy. stop it

I never said radio either smh

Kendrick Lamar Data

I would say sustained chart success also. And not necessarily biggest song week an album drops

Sometimes can take a lil bit longer after that for hit to emerge and then get pushed heavy (or not necessarily pushed heavy but just catch fire and then receive the corresponding push too)

yeah that’s exactly what im getting at, nowadays there are so many “#1 songs” that spend 1-2 weeks in the top ten after an album bomb and 10 weeks on the charts total

His stans are too busy arguing about Kendrick when they should be streaming ICEMAN!
