This is not really true anymore in the streaming economy. On Spotify, you earn a LOT of money if your song ends up in any of the generic playlists that people listen to while going to the gym our out running or in a hotel reception etc. You definitely don't need to do hits to get on these lists and earn money. Sure, they won't be remembered, but they will be heard! This reflects a change in how people consume music I guess.
