but you are right there is always some gray zone.

Well, indeed.

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?

Thanks. I think it's fair to consider a song a hit if it was released and charted as a single on both the US and UK charts in the Top 20.
