Well that has been the definition of a "hit" for a long time, and often
it did reflect sales, which derived from airplay.
Billboard is now falling on hard times, along with the industry it
served. Back when I was managing AWHQ it hit my desk weekly. At the time
it was a roadmap of much of the action, and who was behind whom and
what.
