Morphology
girlypop + hit
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'girly' (appealing to young women) + 'pop' (popular music) yields a genre label ('girly pop'), and 'hit' denotes a successful song. Even if 'girlypop' as one word is non-standard, a B1 learner who knows 'girly', 'pop', and 'hit' can transparently infer a successful pop song aimed at young women.
Etymology
Girlypop hit describes a kind of song—picture a bright, catchy tune with a sweet sound that many young women enjoy. It joins girly (young, feminine style), pop (catchy, radio music) and hit (a very 'popular' song), so it means a pop song that is especially 'appealing to young women'.
