Music documentary series about modern classic hit songs. Talent, luck and timing are the three main ingredients in hit making. Sometimes it is a long process, sometimes it happens overnight. Some hits changes music and give birth to new stars, other hits end careers. The Story of the Hit is one half hour about about one song and the people, decisions, coincidences and events that made it into a worldwide hit. The people behind the music tells the story and details behind how the song was made, how it changed them - and the impact it made on both the music scene and the ordinary life. Featuring Coldplay, Jay Z, Metallica, Journey, David Bowie, New Order, Oasis and more.
