If you want to learn about hit songs, try being a dj at a live club for about 6 months to a year...people will tell you what they want to hear and what they don't want to hear, and you'll find out there's a lots of songs that you personally may not like, but others do, and you'll also find out that other people may not like what you like. You'll find out what gets the crowd dancing or heading for the door.

You'll also find out alot about target margetingand genres, as you'll want to please the crowd you're playing for. Playing country music in a rock club doesn't go over very well, and playing rock for a country crowd likewise doesn't work. You'll become accutely aware of this as the beer bottles start flying.
