Well, no. Often, you must compromise your personal goals in order to attain popularity. I don't think it's your place to tell anybody whether they are a success or a failure, not knowing what their intentions were or what they set out to do. There are artists who do not want popularity. It's not that they've settled for less, it's just that music is not solely a pursuit for popularity.
