agree with your confusion - that's the point we can debate and decide how to go forward. or not. how is MM a hit when it was never released as a single either (according to the original rules MCB was proposing)?

what we tossed around so far was:
  • whether hit is everything released as a single (i think the answer is no - DYMM was NOT a hit).
  • everything that was hit single worldwide - or are we being just US-centric (my vote would be worldwide, also considering the composition of the board members).
  • everything that had a lot of radio play (as some things do not even get released as hard copy singles anymore anyway).
  • everything that was voted as a hit in previous MSB polls (through these discussions we kinda rejected that since we didn't want to end up with Landslide as a favorite non-hit).

anything i'm forgetting? maybe it really would be helpful to have a pre-poll and vote on these options to figure out how to structure a non-hit poll?
