Music - What Makes Some Songs Hits and Others Ordinary?

Growing up as a child who loved music I was amazed by the fact that no matter what happened there were always new songs playing on the radio. Some exciting and some boring. Some would go straight to number one on the charts and stay there for weeks and everyone wanted to have that record in their collection, whilst other songs were soon forgotten. I began to quiz and question why it is like that. Is it the architecture of the song or the financing behind it? Is it the brilliance of the singer or something else?

I came up with ten things that go into a song that will become a hit.

Music

1. It is usually simple but with a good hook to it that you will not forget. I often find that hit songs are sometimes songs that little children can catch and sing along to.
2. It doesn't matter how good the natural talent of the singer is, if he or she doesn't get directed and produced properly, they will become ordinary. A good producer takes the raw talent and music and adds his touch to it and you have better music. There are producers who are known as hit makers because they have the flair that produces a hit song
3. The band must play skillfully and creatively in order to bring out the best arrangement that is pleasing to the ear.
4. Money and resources. Does money make the world go round? It plays its part in making the world go round and it enables talent to find expression. One of the biggest costs in the music industry is the promotional cost, the staging of live events, launches, and buying media space to promote the product, that is the music. Most good artists who do not make it to the top do not do so because they are underfunded. On their team they need to have a strong fundraiser who knows how to marshal resources on behalf of the musician
5.You do not know everything and being open to suggestions from others who may have travelled that path before will save you a lot of time and trouble and years in obscurity
6. You must be sure that you love what you are doing, have the talent for it and you are organized enough to succeed. Success is not about luck, neither does it come by accident. You can plan the success of your next project.
7.. Your song will be a hit if you have tested the market, understood its tastes and preferences and you produce a sound that satisfies that palate.
8. Media contributes to success in the music in a big way. You need to network, create relationships and ensure that your music is where it is supposed to be. Create good rapport with radio and television stations, get interviews and be seen in a positive light by members of the public who buy the music and provide listenership
9. You cannot make music to satisfy everyone. Be deliberate about your genre, the issues you tackle in your music, if it's done excellently according ton what the listeners want, it will be popular
10. Music as an expression of one's passion does wonders because there's no pressure to conform to what has previously been accepted or acceptable. You might be holding onto a music idea that is a breakthrough in your career.
