Although I think it's a good clue, I don't think it's a great one - sorry! The terminology itself is just a shade dated - I honestly can't remember the last time I ever heard of a 6,3. 'Most downloaded', 'most streamed' -or some even more up-to-date term would probably fit the bill now!

I think the last time I heard the phrase was during my last "stay" in hospital from an enquiring nurse !

I think it would be better without the 'Pop' - 'Pop hit' doesn't ring true for me.

My elder son refers to his brother as number two, implying his own seniority.
Only in jest though!
