Is ''Hold Me Closer'' officially a hit?

[ovoxo]

It’s pretty successful, but I wouldn’t call it a hit 

[Frankie8]

On paper it looks like a big hit with those placements. I'd say a medium sized hit. It certainly will be forgotten about by the GP down the road. It's streams are abysmal for where you would expect them to be considering it has about 45 million audience impressions these past few weeks. It appears that those who hear it on the radio don't actively seek it out to stream. It's not fair to compare her to current artists who have large, young fanbases to stream, though. Her demo is not Top 40 anymore, so for it to get this far chartwise has been incredible.

It's definitely a hit here in Canada, I hear it almost every time I turn on the radio.

Slay, Queen!

[LeglessJamie]

I'd say it's a hit.

Anything charting top 10 on the Billboard hot 100 is a hit in my eyes. It's the most important chart of the charts for artists. To reach a top 10 spot is pretty much a big thing.

The fact it did it without a proper music video (we only got a video like 2 weeks ago which doesn't even have 1 of the singers in), no live performances and the fact Britney mentioned it only like what? 2 times?

Only hit songs reach a top 10 spot with that little promo.

Obviously not the biggest hit ever but it sure is a hit.

It’s the biggest song of the year and maybe of all time

Peaked at #6 on Billboard Hot 100 (still in top 30), top 10 on US Overall Radio Airplay, coming for 100 mln streams & getting like 1,5 mln streams everyday on Spotify...

It's obviously not the biggest song of her career and you may like the song or not but I think we can officially say Britney Spears has done it again and she has another hit song in her discography and it's 2022  

I totally think she's capable of creating a whole new catalog of hits

Mmm a subtle hit for now, and depends on the territory, here in Argentina I haven't listened not even one single time on radio 

Even here in Paraguay I heard it on radio

• It debuted at #6 on BB100 which was higher than Work B at #12 and Make Me... at #17
• The song was third song ever to debut at #1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs-chart
• It's been really consistent on both radio charts and official charts around the world, only rising after 6 weeks (most of her songs since start of conservatorship were already free falling after 2 weeks)
• It's currently receiving around 10 million streams per week on spotify and it's not losing steam yet which is great
• It will be her fastest song to reach 100 million streams on spotify and is on its way to beat all the tracks on Glory, Britney, and even Femme Fatale this year if it continues with this pace
• It was the song that helped Britney to break two records; Most monthly listeners on pre-digital era female artist, and first female solo artist to have top 10 radio hit in the U.S in four different decades.
• The song has next to no promo, aside from generic music video and visualizer, so Britney will earn massive paycheck for few hours of working. Queen of working smarter rather than harder.

If it wasn’t for the trash video, that really would’ve been on another lever 

[phinyls]

what do you mean by "officially"? 

It's a hit since the moment it was rumoured into existence 

[Oh baby baby]

Tbh here in my flop country Bosnia, no one has heard of the song. They don't play it anywhere, while I can hear Cold heart wherever I go...

GREAT!! Plus the AC and Hot AC radio success is impressive: it paves the way for the 2nd collab single and paves the way for Britney on these 2 formats. HMC succeeds on its own with logevity and being driven by airplay with sales equivalent of 400,000 units already. The Purple remix will give it a boost for gold certified

[Stefani]

It's a hit. Not a smash hit, but a hit nonetheless. It went Top 10 and stayed in the Top 40 for several weeks. I admit I thought it would flop, but Britsus proved me wrong.

[argentinian.in.telaviv]

Yes definitely 

[super.nova]

i would say its a hit in the US, i have heard the song playing in the radio very often, at CVS, target, gay clubs, and ubers etc. i think its definitely a hit. and it seems to have a lot of longevity potential.

[Cqleb]

Yes, Go hide back under that rock! jks 

[briprin1]

It's played constantly on my local radio, like they even said people are sending many texts requesting it, I live in west Virginia US, and this is the first time I've heard anything from Britney on the radio, except the occasional toxic.

[DollyParton]

I'm a hit. 

[Crazy4BRITNEY3.3]

Let's be real, the song isn't happening.
