Yeah, a viral hit would be something that exploded big on streaming first and then sales and radio followed suit afterwards and not nearly as strong; which #Selfie does not fit.
I always thought a song was viral if everyone was talking bout it on social networks. But I see now.

It's gone as high as #34 on Streaming, I believe, while it spent a decent time in the sales T10.
Always thought #Selfie was stupid, it is, but it is catchy. But it faded really quick.
