Would you classify a Top 10 song on the Billboard Hot 100 as a hit song?
This has nothing to do with who the artist is on the song. In general, is a Top 10 song a hit or not?
Well if it peaked in the top 10 for a week and then started falling down the charts, I wouldn't really call it a 'hit'. It needs to have some longevity to be a hit
- "Judas"
- "Russian Roulette"
- "Keeps Gettin' Better"
- "Skyscraper"
- the 2020930293 Taylor Swift songs that randomly charted in the top ten only to fall off the chart the next week
depending on the artist
a top10 for the likes of Katy,Gaga and Rihanna would be a flop
but a top10 for the likes of Paramore, Lana and Lorde is a Roaring success
