I don't think anyone has claimed otherwise. What I'm saying, however, is that being more popular doesn't automatically mean that one is more influential. For example, Pat Boone was the second most popular artist of the 50s (after Elvis), but I think you'd be hard-pressed to say he was more influential than Chuck Berry, who was much less popular.
