Hit record (5)
I believe the answer is:
clock
This clue is a double definition.
'hit' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'record' is the second definition.
(clock can mean to record or register)
(Other definitions for clock that I've seen before include "time" , "how to falsify car's mileage" , "Flashy black-market dealer" , "Recording device" , "Striker" .)
