Well recorded yes, absolutely. A good recording is very important, and a great mix to.
the song ¨happy birthday to you¨ we all sing at birthdays is a huge hit, and doesn´t contain any production at all. So no. I don´t agree as far as production helping in the hit department. A great song will be a hit with just a guitar and vocal. Period. I hope Paul McCartney or John Lennon could chime in to discuss this.
What production does, is to only enhance the mood or direction a song takes. Makes it more interesting on the long run. That´s the problem with todays top 40. Production has never been so complex (thanks to DAW´s) yet the raw songs don´t personaly do it for me, compared to the hits of the past which I listen to with greater pleasure.
