Seperate page for 'List of sleeper hits"[edit]
Especially with the emergence of Tiktok as a factor, the amount of culturally significant sleeper songs is only going to continue to grow. Couple a year per genre typically. [1] [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by IceCuba (talk • contribs) 2022

Inclusion criteria for music examples?[edit]
What are we establishing as the inclusion criteria for music examples? Are we accepting any tune that has a resurgence several years later? Or tunes that the media describe as having a resurgence? Or should the media tell us explicitly that this is a sleeper hit? I vote for the latter. Keep it verifiable and reduce original research. Binksternet (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
With the latter criteria, we could use sources such as https://blog.siriusxm.com/sleeper-hits which was compiled by a SiriusXM editor, and https://americansongwriter.com/5-big-outta-nowhere-super-sleeper-pop-and-rock-smashes/ which is a professional journalist in the music field.
