I didn't say it made me dance. Reading is essential hunTy

This!

this was a set up to compare Iggy and Nicki

In that case...

The backfire

I love Iggy and think she deserves more acclaim. But I also love Nicki more and think she deserves more success. Not that those things affect my listening habits, but I think artists I like deserve both.

[Lord Blackout]

People keep referring to Party Rock Anthem as if they're making a point. I could refer to Call Me Maybe as the most acclaimed song of 2012 and try to make a point too.

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.

But if you don't keep a success rate, the label will drop you and stop investing on you which means
the quality could suffer or the artist's career could end there.

Is a music industry and it need money to keep going, those artists you mention make money for their labels, they are just marketed as music for snobs, but even a snob is a good market.

Good music > Trash music

Pretty simple.

[PrinceMichaelFan]

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

This tbh. They are both pointless. Who cares about critics and who cares about #1s?
As long as your albums connect with a group of people, you're fine.

[Johnny Cash]

#1s are critically acclaimed by the general public...

I wasn't referring to you , don't take it personal, saying in general

[Trent W]

Also for the people saying critical acclaim equals quality, I think you guys have a huge problem in your lives if you need some snob telling you what's right to hear and what's not. Because that's what I'm getting from this thread.

okay, you can keep referring to people who like it as snobs, biased, whatever. Clearly, that makes you feel better.
