Aston Martin Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I feel like there's no one good answer. A song can be a hit if it gets to 100-200 million streams really quickly and then settles down and stabilizes, and a song can also be a hit if it steadily accrues streams and eventually hits 1 billion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byzantium Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Depends on the time period involved. If it hits: 1 billion in under a year it is a big hit. 1 billion in under two years it is a moderate hit. 1 billion in under four years is a hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkdiamond Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 700m+ is an actual hit. Too many irrelevant songs have 500m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armani? Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 It depends tbh If we're talking about songs where the majority of streams come from Spotify & are "global", then I guess 500 million. Some songs depending on the genre or artist are much stronger on Apple Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevyy Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Catalogue music from before 2010: 300 - 500 million = smash New music of today: 1,5bn - (open end) = smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosque Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 A song by an indie artist could do like 100-200m over time and I’d consider that a hit. For a mainstream artist with TTH and playlist promotion, 500m sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
