Superstars in solid hit (5)

I believe the answer is:

idols

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'superstars' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'solid hit' is the wordplay.
'hit' indicates anagramming the letters.
'solid' is an anagram of 'IDOLS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idols that I've seen before include "Solid (anag.)" , "Solid kind of images" , "Much-admired persons" , "Heroes" , "Objects of worship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
