With thousands of songs released yearyl, yeah, top 100 is a hit, with
substantial sales and airplay.


As always, everyone has their own definition. You are welcome to yours, and
I don't agree!
If it didn't make the top 40, *I* certainly wouldn't call it a "hit".
Maybe some would say anything in the top 1000 is a "hit", at least those who
failed to make the top 100 I guess :-)

It's not up to you or me to define what is a hit. Billboard did that for
decades. They have their reasons, derived from what I wrote. Out of the
total number of releases, a very tiny percentage makes/made the top 100.

If you put out a song and it made the top 100, you'd be busy enough for
a while to think you had a hit.
