How does having multiple songs that practically the whole world knows NOT make you big?
If anything, I actually think it's more laughable to assume album sales = general public popularity than it is to assume that single sales = general public popularity. I have a feeling that most people on the street would have a much easier time naming the ten biggest songs in a year than they would naming the ten biggest albums. For the most part, album sales are way more of a stan-oriented stat than single sales are.
I'm obviously not suggesting strong album sales are unimportant or irrelevant to success, but dismissing all of 5H's success because their album sales are weak doesn't make much sense.
