Hit list

TOPFORTY

Think of the biggest songs ranked together in one popular chart.

"Hit list" plays on the double meaning of "hit"—both as a successful song and something on a list. In music, the "Top Forty" refers to the most popular songs at any given time, essentially a list of hits. The clue cleverly twists the phrase to suggest a literal list of hits, leading to the answer TOPFORTY. It’s a pun that relies on pop culture knowledge of radio charts.
