But Landslide is on the radio constantly (mostly The Dance version but sometimes the original) whereas Songbird never is.
We could make it easy and say that a song has to have been released as a single and made the charts to qualify as a hit, thereby eliminating songs like The Chain and GDW. Of course that still leaves the issue of how high it has to chart before it qualifies as a hit:
Don't Stop (No. 3)
Gypsy (No. 12)
Over My Head (No. 20)
Love In Store (No. 22)
Save Me (No. 33)
Sisters of the Moon (No. 86)
Where does anybody draw the line?
