even if at least 20/30 acts have sold more albums than bj did, can we consider them the most succesful band ever (apart from beatles...)?

i say this because
1) they have the hard rock best seller album EVER
2) they at least 3 times in 3 decades had a HUGE N 1 SINGLE ALL OVER THE WORLD : livin on a prayer 1986 always 1994 it's my life 2000
plus obviously others n 1....i don't think anyone have ever had two N 1 all over the world 15 years one from the other

if you look at other bands like ac/dc rolling stones ecc ecc...it's true they sold more than bj, they are at the top since '60s/70sbu they had not more A SMASH SINGLE since those years...so they live wih their previous succes while bon jovi despite the fact are not at the top like in the '80s continue to release succesfull albums...
that's my points...what do you think?
