As for having more success than AB... bah, he might. AB hasn't really caught on, for good reason. They aren't bad enoguh to be pop, and they aren't good enough to be noticed.

Some of the greatest bands and musicians in the history of rock music have been played on pop radio stations. Being played on a pop station does not take away from their musical abilities or credentials. It does expose them to a wider variety on listeners. Creed obviously had a huge impact on rock fans, but they did, however, have nearly an equal impact on the pop rock folks. He's lost fans, sure. Yet, I know people who haven't really supported Alter Bridge because they left Stapp. Like Titan said, Creed has been a consistent force on the radio medium. His voice is still fresh in the ears of millions.
