WP:NSONGS No reliable sources or significant coverage; only Billboard charts are cited and it didn’t even rank high enough for notability in that case. Trillfendi (talk) 02:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Charting isn’t everything, but charting on the Billboard Hot 100 (the all-format chart for one of the biggest music markets in existence) is generally a noteworthy accomplishment. Sergecross73 msg me 02:31, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Typically, when a song is “notable” on the Billboard Hot 100, only the Top 40 is considered a success story. (When I said Billboard charts I meant the website referenced). The Billboard chart “may” be notable according to the Wiki policy but not that it “is”. For this song it’s the latter.Trillfendi (talk) 02:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Top 40 is definitely considered a success story in the industry, sure, but that’s higher than the bare minimum for Wikipedia standards though. That said, yes, obviously it takes more than charting, which is merely a common indicator, which is why I didn’t !vote “keep” but rather just left it as a comment.
