It’s really just all in the context. The numbers themselves tell part of the story, and the context fills in the rest. I think it’s up to the reader to interpret them how they choose. In any case, this reader (me) chooses to see the numbers as impressive either way, even if I agree they can’t really be compared to the (also impressive) numbers of the 60s. Whether a ‘hit’ or not, most of the songs still achieved something in the timeframe measured and even if they aren’t remembered outside of their core audience, it might be worth nothing most hits these days aren’t either. Most of the time, I tend to conclude that people refuse to let go of years gone by and that’s why feats of present-day artists aren’t often recognized as such. But it all comes back to context in the end. I will admit I’m pretty “old school” when it comes to what a true hit should look like to me. I think it should be big on both radio and sales/streaming (the former for pre-streaming era) for multiple weeks at least. I think that’s how you get maximum awareness and tons of casual listeners/mainstream audience knowing the song. As opposed to what it seems Drake does quite often where his (big) fandom fuels a lot of charting songs for a short time, and very few others outside of that group seem likely to know these “hits.” Even with someone like Taylor, that’s more of a recent thing that kind of just started with Midnights. Most of her other top tens before that are ones meeting those hit standards I mentioned. Not that I’m saying that’s always the case with Drake obviously. Like One Dance, God’s Plan, Nice for What etc are just a few of several where of course I would say they seem like bonafide hits. I just feel he has significantly less of those than all of the other biggest artists ever he’s with in the chart records. Someone like Mariah… what maybe 1 of her number ones we can say wasn’t a bonafide big hit that reached a massive audience at the time (TGIFY)? Some of it is obviously my perception I’m sure, but what I’m really getting at is the amount of the public outside of the core fans who know these songs/will remember them. I just think the metrics I mentioned are the best way to guesstimate that (strength and longevity on streaming and radio). That's understandable and I don't really disagree. I think it emphasizes the importance of contextualizing the numbers while also acknowledging the landscape of the charts now in comparison to decades ago. But it's probably worth noting that radio's impact isn't as strong as it used to be. Radio doesn't make hits like it used to and aren't really a leader in what's popular as much as struggling to follow trends by playing what's already big. (Country remains the exception to this, and probably other genre-specific formats as well). So, songs that were big hits in the 70s, 80s and 90s, that had strong radio support and that were also big sellers, award-winners, etc, did so because they were omnipresent. People had little choice but to hear them so the audience reach of big hits was gauranteed. Nowadays, the way people consume music has changed that. Songs aren't as omnipresent as they used to be. Audiences are more segmented and based on demographics. For me, as someone who still actively seeks out new music, there are songs that have reached #1 in recent years on both the Hot 100 and CHR/Pop's Top 40 that I don't know or wouldn't recognize. I don't seek to avoid hearing them. They're just not in my periphery. Most are undoubtedly hits, but they don't have the presence they once had. I think the goal is less around making something a universal hit that everyone will hear and more about making a song that will reach a target audience and be a 'hit' within that demographic. The way charts are measured now are based around listening habits, which has also changed since the 2000s and before, because people no longer rely on radio as much, streaming has taken over, and the limitations of single-releases or availability of digital singles no longer applies. Album eras don't last as long so there's an emphasis on the push in that first week of available. The definition of what a hit is has evolved to meet those changes, but also, the need to have a hit or hits versus an 'album bomb' is also probably a priority now where it wasn't one before. Now we have songs reach #1 (by Drake, or whoever - Ariana and Justin Bieber's duet that reached #1, etc) that aren't really known by a lot of people, but they do so as part of album bombs on the charts, and there's value in that too, but it's still a newer concept. So I guess going back to the point I made before. The charts present us what the numbers are saying. How we interpret them is where the discussion matters. Taylor can have the Top 20 songs on the Hot 100 in 3 weeks from now. Numbers one to twenty. That's an epic album bomb, but it doesn't necessarily mean she adds 20 new hits to her collection, which likely wouldn't have been the goal anyway. |

Excerpt from an article:
By Kyle Denis, Jason Lipshutz, Andrew Unterberger
04/10/2024
This week's Trending Up looks at all sun-and-moon-themed songs seeing streaming spikes this week
This week: Solar eclipses, earthquakes and general bad weather lead to gains for related jams
Total Eclipse of the Streams: Sun & Moon Songs by Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, Bonnie Tyler & More All Way Up
If you’re reading this week’s Trending Up newsletter, hopefully that means you took protective measures when checking out the total solar eclipse that swept up North America this Monday (Apr. 8) and managed to avoid any permanent ocular damage. And even if you did mess up your eyes, chances are your ears still managed to catch some thematically related jams on Monday, with numerous such songs exploding in streams as they found their way to eclipse soundtracks and party playlists nationwide.
Among the most notable beneficiaries from the eclipse enhancement on Monday were LEN’s “Steal My Sunshine” (up 194% in on-demand U.S. audio streams from the previous Monday to 169,000, according to Lumiante), Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” (up a whopping 1472% to 541,000), Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” (up 48% to 559,000), The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” (up 58% to 656,000 – but actually sorta inappropriate for the occasion, no?), Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” (up 87% to 772,000) and Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” (up 123% to 806,000). And for those jokers on social media during the event, don’t worry, everyone saw your Clipse puns – as evidenced by the rap duo’s catalog also being up 21% to 66,000 for the day.
But of course, the mother of all eclipse jams proved once again to be Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 Billboard Hot 100-topper “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which was not only up 652% to nearly 1.3 million streams on Monday, but also sold nearly 4,000 digital copies on the day, an increase of 3,992%. It probably won’t be quite enough for “Total Eclipse” to make a Hot 100 return, but if the eclipse bump doesn’t totally pass by the end of this tracking week, it may end up making an appearance on some sales and/or streaming charts next week.
And that’s not all the freak phenomenon-related listening folks were doing in America the past week, of course – plenty of tri-state folks affected by the 4.8 magnitude earthquake on Friday (Apr. 5) were motivated to process their feelings on the core-shaking incident via streams of songs like Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move” (up 25% from the previous Friday to 65,000) and Tyler, the Creator’s “Earfquake” (up 13% to 459,000). Together, it was all enough to music listeners feeling downright apocalyptic – at least, as indicated by the Monday bump for R.E.M.’s end-times classic “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” (up 66% to 100,000). – ANDREW UNTERBERGER
