Smash vs Massive hit: difference?
Smash, massive and even big hit, I always read it here. What's the difference between these if there really is? Educate me.

I thought it was the opposite of that?
Like....
Smash: Roar
Big Hit: Wide Awake

Massive/big hit - moderately big on a certain platform radio/sales/streaming - ex Break Free, Black Widow
Smash - Actually reaching #1 (or at least top 3) on the previously mentioned platforms - ex Problem, Fancy
EDIT: i feel like a smash also peaks quickly after release, and a big hit has some form of longevity in comparison to its peak :/

Smash - smashing everywhere. (Top 3 )
Big - doing well everywhere. (Top 10).
Edit:
Massive would be a smash hit with incredible longevity, I guess.

A smash is a song that does very well, but isn't that impactful
A massive hit is a song that is every where, and everybody knows it.
It's all over the radio and is recognized in the years to come

Wouldn't Single Ladies be a Massive Hit though? I remember it being everywhere and everyone was imitating the video.
