The truth is, all music is niche music. not all music appeals to all people, and wham and George Michael clearly targeted their subsection of the population. It's smart, and makes sense. Good business.
he/they were on the radio, thats how songs become famous and hits. It doesn't mean that somebody listening to careless whisper in their office as they do some paperwork, is in a rush to go out and see them
I know what you mean, he/they had immense success, but they still targeted certain groups of people.
Somebidy like Billy Joel on the other hand didn't target anybody, he appealed old/young, rich, poor, straight, gay, women, men.
That's the difference for me.
I gave him his due, he was very good, legendary at what he did
