Crossword Genius

Successful song delivers beat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hit

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'successful song' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'beat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'delivers' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hit that I've seen before include "Strike - great success!" , "The shot < to > beat" , "Successful song" , "Successful record/film" , "Popular record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
