Does success=acclaim?
Simple question. Does selling 7.2M for example in single sales automatically means a song is good?

Usually, yes. People rarely buy music nowadays, so they certainly aren't going to spend their money on something ****.

Does Flo Rida have acclaim?
Does Björk have success anymore?

does it mean acclaim? yes. acclaimed by the GP.
does it make it a good song? no. that's entirely up to the listener and can't be proven wrong or right.

No.
There have been many successful songs that have been panned by the GP & the Industry.

NO!
Blurred Lines has sold 5 million, and it's easily the worst #1 of the entire decade.
