The viral strength of a song is top on the list of what makes it a hit, then the numbers it racked on streaming platforms too is another determinant.
These amongst other factors are relatively unmatched because we have two different widespread audiences in question.
You would agree that the category of people vibing to a song on the viral streets may not outrightly mix with those who use sophisticated streaming platforms.
While this is a topic for another day, las las, a hit is a hit. Somebody say oin!
Another factor that is rather more genetic which could make a song a hit is the content. Sexual songs, real-life anthems, songs of redemption, thanksgiving, and prayers are accepted by default and if well distributed will last a while.
A song like this a timeless content that makes so much buzz, returns to its coven, and still resurfaces again. This is why some artists who haven’t released songs in recent times still stash some cash or appear relevant at some events.
The headline tracks for this post fall under the category of the genetic songs that were accepted as a result of their contents.
Next to the veteran “Odun n lo sopin” anthem by Mrs. D. A. Fasoyin released in the year 1979 and republished each end of the year, This Year by Jaywon has been the millennial new year anthem since 2012 before Small Doctor joined the wagon 5 years later.
These tracks with the same title are timeless musical contents nobody would say No to. They will be played for the time being, returned to resting, and pop up again another new year.
The year 2020 has been the craziest everyone can say they’ve heard. It came with the hugest whirlwinds that did not leave out any part of the whole world.
We are currently in the sober reflection mode on how the year has been – thanking God for the good, the bad, the ugly and hoping for a better 2021.
It won’t be surprising that this is also the time when these songs will pop up again.
