There are so many analogies, myths and wild theories on this subject of ”˜A HIT SONG`. The music community has adopted a vain culture; and it is such that when an artiste drops a new music material, we`re too quick to adjudge it as a HIT.
Already, Davido and Tekno have announced new ”˜hit` singles scheduled to drop pretty soon. Just as expected, the diehard fans have labeled the posts with comments such as ”˜anoda hit comin thru` ”˜100% hit` ”˜over hit infact` and some other vain concocts like that.
But on a more serious note, how can one tell that a song is a hit?
- Is it because it was produced by Masterkraft, Sarz or Tekno?
- Is it because the owner is someone called Davido, Tekno or Niniola perhaps?
- Is it because the likes of Wizkid and Olamide have established themselves with an impressive track record for delivering music hits over time?
How then can someone tell the hit status of a song just by mere listening? How can someone tell a hit potential in a song that was just released today?
Another point to ponder is, is there a deciphering theory/formula that applies to this problem? Let’s say there is, what about the upcoming artistes with sounds that are relatively unfamiliar? Is theirs the same theory/formula that also applies with the top guns? Or will it be reviewed to suit their category standard?
I mean, it won`t be bad this time around to actually figure if Davido`s Fall or Tekno`s Go abi isit Samantha now, is”¦ or rather will actually be a hit.
So to all those who specialize in the artistry of predestined telling, especially in the music and entertainment show business, I oblige you to please share with us, any pointers, signs or indicators that give insight to the revelation of this knowledge.
