People who believe critics have the only say on what is considered 'good' or 'bad', lol. Have an opinion for yourself thanks.

There are people who think that only #1 songs are good songs

Like someone said, some biased snob is not gonna pay the bills of the tour, video production and promotion.

Is stupid to prefer Critics than hits tbh, hits are just just what keep an artist afloat.

not true...hits only keep people rich. Artists with acclaim keep making music whether they get hits or not.

See Bjork, Arcade Fire, etc. etc. etc.

A #1 album that's also critically acclaimed and has multiple top 10 singles then > One #1 song that no ones going to care about in the future.

Maps and Animals are played on the radio every 5min, is it the #1 song? NO
Waves remix has over 100M in AirPlay, is it #1? NO
The majority of songs slaying radio are not #1
You read on here all the time people saying "oh I didn't know this was #1 or this wasn't #1"

Yes but the whole point is that those #1 or not get acknowledged by the public, they are hits

A few articles and awards ain't keeping a successful artist afloat, unless the artist hits and sells well.

uh...HELL no...Bohemian Rhapsody is both better AND more remembered/iconic than Party Crap Trash

So are you saying global smashes in the digital age aren't as memorable ?

When I started stanning for Katy she only had 1 #1. And I also had no idea what a #1 was. I'm sure I speak for the majority of the fanbase when I say that we've been here before all the success. She success is just the icing on the cake.

Party Rock Anthem
Fancy
Sexy and I Know It
Give Me Everything
Gangnam Style
etc.

The GP doesn't care if the song is trash as long as they can do a little step dance to it at their next family reunion.

Ok well it's not trash if it can make you dance can it? That's one of the main point's of making music

[Kisuke]

The conclusion is that nr1 hits that no one will listen to in 5 years wont help your career in the long run, Aclaim does.

I'd rather have millions of people enjoying my music, than let's say 11,000.

[Wonderland]

I voted acclaim but I've changed my mind.

#1s all the way.

Actually no, if critical acclaim includes a Grammy win in the era, then I'll go with that

A #1. When it's all said and done nobody will remember how many grammies you won.

LIE.

I'd rather win 10 Grammy's than have 10 #1's.

Edit: nvm, Grammy's don't earn u money

uh, no. Not sure where you got that.

I'm saying Party Rock Anthem is a trash song, whether it was successful or not.

This is not true.
Just look at The National, they've never had a song on the Ho100 but they have many acclaimed albums and they've released 6 albums and have had a succesful tour after each headling festivals and such
