Good point about sales. It has nothing to do with liking an artist. And it is only a factor and not definitive of anything. Milli Vanilli sold 15 million copies of songs they never sang on! I'm sure Jean Terrell sold a few thousand at best. And I always heard Partners sold pretty well but I've never believed it.
I think the answer about it being raised is that it often is part of the "unhappy debate" and we all know the cards that get played: DianE is a bitch, she kicked Flo out and put Mary down and slept with Berry to become a superstar and make millions; the answer is Mary couldn't sing and wouldn't work and Mary sold ONLY a few thousand copies while DianA sold millions etc. It goes on and on. And it's been such a waste and it's caused so much damage to the name and helped ensure "the Supremes" are generally ignored by the Grammys, AMAs, etc.; by everyone other than Andy.
And then the real nuts take it to a level of mental illness on Youtube and I guess on other forums.
