An edge hit is a partial hit. A ricochet is a hitting an object, bouncing off, and continuing on. I don't want to split hairs on the term "ricochet" but we normally use full diameter, partial diameter, and misses. If it was a full diameter hit on the first popper, ricochets or bouncing off of it (as was described by the OP), then continues on to knock down anything or make a hole in a target/no-shoot, it would not count, right?
