A song that wasn´t at least in the top 10 can´t be considered "a hit", imo.
what in the world
Harlem Shuffle: #5 US-charts = a hit
Rock And A Hard Place: #23 US-charts = a disappointment
A disappointment for you, but still a hit

Indeed. Those songs weren´t hits, though.
So if those bands release a compilation it has to be named "The Very Best of". Calling it "Greatest Hits" would be incorrect.

So you consider any song that "hits" the Top 100 a "hit"?

In the United States and the United Kingdom, a single is usually considered a hit when it reaches the Top 40 of the official Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 or the Top 75 of the UK Singles Chart and stays there for at least one week.

....ridiculously absurd, imo.
#1-5 = a top hit
# 6-10 = a hit
#11-15 = a moderate hit
#16-20 = a minor hit
# 21- .... = a disaster

Not anymore, most of the singles charts worldwide are streaming based now, you need hundreds or millions of streams to reach the charts, the #100 hit in the UK has to reach 800-900k streams in a week, a Top 10 about 3-4 million.
The numbers in the US are 4 or 5 times more than that, about 3 million streams to reach the Top 100, 12-15 million to reach the Top 10.

The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles has used this definition since the 1970s. Some argue that reaching at least the top 100—since the Official Charts Company increased the chart size on their website on 23 June 2007—lets a single be considered a hit due to the increasing singles market after chart rules included download singles.
A hit single is variously called a number one hit, a top 10 hit, a top 20 hit or a top 40 hit, depending on its peak position.

Is that a law or so? In a technical sense, perhaps, but not in normal conversation. When I mentioned the term 'hit' I meant the latter.

HONK is the definitive comp for 1971-2018 material. It is way better than REWIND, JUMP BACK or any other i don´t even remember.
If you don't remember them, how can HONK be better?
Why should I remember, I bet it´s basically the same songs all over.

HONK is the definitive comp for 1971-2018 material. It is way better than REWIND, JUMP BACK or any other i don´t even remember.
Pros of HONK:
- Cheap
- Bonus Live CD
- All of the famous 70s/80s-hits
- nice artwork
cons of HONK:
- long time followers have to buy it for the bonus CD only
- some unforgivably cringeworthy songs included here - Out Of Tears, Out Of Control, Saint Of Me, Streets of Love)
- three songs from Blue And Lonesome is too much
- only one song from glorious DIRTY WORK
I agree, with the exception of Streets Of Love, that I find reminiscent of the Black And Blue days (not that that was such a good album but the fact alone does it for me). One Hit could have been a nice addition and the two B2B songs should have been replaced by Anybody Seen My Baby.
I only got Honk for the live cd though.
If a song was a hit or not is not so relevant as at least 70% of the songs weren't hits anyway.

Hey Joe, Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, All Along The Watchtower were big hits in the UK. His original studio albums and a live album were big in both UK and US. So his career surely wasn´t a disaster.

This shows that you don't have a fathom aspect of their back catalogue.
You fail, as usual, to acknowledge their legacy as it is respected, and throw in your trolling DW attitude. A majority of Stones fans yet alone the casual Stones fans have:
1. the fans fact that DIRTY WORK is their worst album ever.
2. the fact that casual fans won't like paltry Stones songs, which, therefor, DIRTY WORK is a completely pointless album to acknowledge with a hits comp other than Harlem Shuffle, the only thing a majority of casual fans have heard, and for good reason.
