You're equating success with good music. By your logic that unpopular music can be successful, you can also say that popular music isn't successful. And if you can't say that Britney Spears was a successful pop star, you have quite the oddball view of the word "success."
I don't see general success as this abstract idea, and the only real concrete way to measure success is sales. I think the success you all are talking about is a more specific form of success. Artistic, musical success. As in, did he stay true to himself and make an album he wanted to make. So you aren't necessarily wrong in saying that sales do not equal success, but if you are talking about the most basic kind of success, sales is pretty much the definition.
