I hate those "this song doesn't feel like a top 10 / top 5 / #1 hit" type of posts. If a song has enough points to be in the top 10 / top 5 or #1 is because its popularity is strong enough to be in that place according to objective data.
The only songs in recent memory that could feasibly fit that description of not "feeling like a T10 hit" are "Dope" and "We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow" (Both songs are great and all, but... )
