That's not always true. Things being ~*~~**~mainstream;3 has nothing to do with acclaim most of the time. Critics do not care about being edgy and obscure, lmao, they care about music being good and progressive.
Drake, Beyoncé, Madonna and now Weeknd have massive albums that are above an 80 on Metacritic. Back in the day a lot of acclaimed musicians were also household names a la Beatles, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, etc.
Please don't make these naive comments!
