Perhaps relative to the '50s you have a point, not relative to 2015.

Miles did well throughout his career - Jazz Inmate 17:29:46 05/03/15 (3)
He knew how to be a bandleader and a businessman, not just a musician. He was always able to attract the best talent to his bands and most lucrative record deals. For jazz. Beyonce has sold a lot more records.
- I'm not sure I follow how Beyonce outselling Miles supports your claim. - David Smith 19:55:34 05/03/15 (2)
  I mean, so did Elvis and ABBA.
  
  On another topic, your claim about jazz being less popular in the'60s than it is today remains odd.

    I never made such a claim. I said jazz became the least popular in the '60s. Both classical and pop/R&B were more popular than jazz in '60s, and have remained so.

      Your wording was not particularly clear, and whether your claim is accurate or not jazz was still somewhat popular in the '60s, and pretty dramatically different than the situation today.
