The term "overnight success" has evolved quite a bit in the last 20 years. A few decades ago, pre-internet, the term might apply to someone lucky enough to convince the right radio DJ to give their new track a few spins, or maybe the artist's team got them on MTV, or opening up for a more established performer. This is not to discount an artist's pure, organic talent, of course, but typically, where mainstream audiences were concerned, there used to only be a few major launching pads, and you really needed someone to show your music to the right person.
