More or less, but usually there is some thread running through. Musicianship, if the song introduced something new, even sheer popularity. But the Hollies "Bus Stop", which is a delightful little ditty, does not belong 20 notches above Del Shannon's "Runaway" (Max Crook's Musitron was not a standard Clavoline, but very heavily modified in a custom manner), which was a MUCH bigger hit, musically very interesting, was straight rock 'n' roll in the era of Percy Faith, and performed by a new and great talent.
