Rick,
    Not being a song writer myself, I had no idea either. But I'm glad that this amount of planning is happenning. It's so much an artistic set of decisions & I guess the depth of it depends on the degree of thought that the artist wishes to put into it. 
 
   As far as the other question, if I remember correctly, often the "hit" was placed as the first tune on Side 2 of a record. Again, nowadays, I think that is more fluid. You don't want to bury it & yet if it goes first, then you stand the chance of people not listening to the rest of the program contents (especially in this era of short attention spans). 
 
    I think that the flow of all tracks should be taken into account & the "hit" placed where it "belongs". Not so far in that it's buried, but not first either: maybe third or forth song.... If it seems to "fit" there.  Of course, people can program CD players or put on random play in a changer. Then all that thought & planning goes out the window and the CD becomes a collection of individual tracks.

If I broke one acoustic guitar string, how many would I have left?
