The Wikipedia entry says that "Dreadlock Holiday" reached #44 on the US
Charts and #1 on the UK Charts in 1978. 10cc had 14 singles chart in the
UK, 11 of those were Top Ten.

I think Bob "Standard Life" Hutton had it right when he said:
"Is this not kinda hard to define in the States, given that having a
"hit"
depends on umpteen different things (airplay, local sales, national
sales
.... any more?)"

"Dreadlock" didn't chart, but the follow-up to "The Things We Do For
Love"
called "People In Love" hit #40 for one week in 1977.
