What's Considered A Hit? Top 40 Top 20 Or Top 10?

[blackbeatxx]

depends on the artist

generally, i´d consider top 40 a hit

[MusicIsGoodForYou]

I consider Top 40 a minor hit, top 20 a hit, and top 10 a major hit.

It also depends on the single's longevity on those Top 40/20/10. But nowadays, Top 40 is not a REAL hit as it used to be at the pre-downloads era.

[CarCAL22]

Top 40:
6+ weeks: Minor hit
5-6 weeks: moderate minor hit
1-4 weeks: borderline hit

Top 20:

6+Weeks Hit
3-6 weeks:Moderate Hit
1-2 weeks: Mod./Minor Hit

Top 10:

8+ weeks: Smash Hit
4-8 weeks: Major Hit
1-4 weeks Borderline Major Hit




But really a song these days shouldnt even be considered a hit till Top 20..

I agree Top 40 is not even a minor hit these days - because of the downloads.

Thanks!

And actually it should be:

1-3 weeks in top 40 = Not a hit
4+ weeks in top 40 = minor hit
8+ weeks in top 40 = hit
12+ weeks in top 40 = major hit

[Delicious]

top 20 is a general hit, top 10 is a major hit, top 5 is HUGE

[Exodus]

"Hero/Heroine" @ #57 and climbing!

Thank god for the sake of Amerie and Chingy for debuting @ #89 (bet it's gonna fall next week though). = /

"He Said, She Said" returning! O.o
