You can't compare hit singles from back when people actually had to leave their house to purchase a single to the songs that become hits nowadays. From 1998 onwards you could get a hit if radio programmers were persuaded to put your song in heavy rotation and from 2012 onwards if you have enough YouTube views and streams to factor into the equation. This! On top of that, if you went to the record store and the single was sold out you were SOL. Today can't be compared to back then
