Jun 4, 2022·1 replythegreatdivineI mean yeah, "hits" are chart hits. It's lots of songs that were never "hits" in the terms of being on the charts or the radio that have moved millions of single units in the US just off recurrent streams. Drake has dozens of songs that have done that. Doesn't make them "hits" in the traditional sense, if you get what I'm saying.
i dont think a song needs to chart top 10 for a long time to be a hit. Charting long term is heavily based on radio anyway.
Jun 4, 2022·1 replythegreatdivinePost's problem is two-fold:
1. For some reason, people moved on from him even before he dropped any new music.
2. The music he returned with was mid and further validated why people shouldn't go back to supporting him.1. Agree. But I think this happens to everyone and having a hit is the ultimate get out jail free card.
2. I don't think it's necessarily mid but it's missing something. Also horrible timing.

I mean, even before his album dropped. Motley Crew/One Right Now/Cooped Up are all mid/forgettable singles.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm just going by the literal definition of a hit record.
A hit song, also known as a hit record, hit single or simply a hit, is a recorded song or instrumental that becomes broadly popular or well-known. Although hit song means any widely played or big-selling song, the specific term hit record usually refers to a single that has appeared in an official music chart through repeated radio airplay audience impressions, or significant streaming data and commercial sales.

I think ur conflating hits with successful songs that chart
One means the other but not necessarily the other way around.
When most people say a song is a hit they just means it’s well known, not that hit x or y amount of streams. Ur not wrong but there’s more to hits than where it landed on the charts or how many streams it got

Also it seems that Posty has been living life and he don’t really be online like that anymore
And on top of that the label didn’t push this album

Yeah, it's really hard to make a hit tbh. All the s*** he put out was in a played out style.
At this stage he should have made a song like Circles and used label support to get it on pop radio.

The point is that a hit record is based on charts that measure how popular it is. A song that never charted or was never a radio hit but still managed to move millions of units via streaming is a successful song but it's not a hit in the literal definition. That's what I'm saying.

They would have but I'm glad he didn't. He'll probably do another Care Package-esque release sometime in the future and throw LNCL/Scary Hours 2 + other loosies he's dropped over the last few years on there so they all live in one place.
Hope we get a care package 2
still need the goat loosies like we made it to get on streaming - Jun 4, 2022

Yea because the style is on its way out. Dua Lipa and Abel used it up in 2020 imo.
He would have needed to freak it somehow but he didn't. That type of song was never gonna work.
Jun 4, 2022thegreatdivine9 weeks and 5 weeks in the top 10 respectively but Knife Talk did the 5 weeks with 0 radio/without push as single. Still, neither were smash hit singles.
If a song that long top 10 it def a hit
