@hardikv this is so true, although I do believe that artistry is also a numbers game... not every song is going to be a smash hit, and sometimes the ones you don't think will be received well resonate the best with your fans. A professional quality sound is definitely needed to get far though you are right.
I just created a discord group for my series and to connect with other Indie artists. You're invited to join if you want

Yes. We have noticed that first hand, a song you think is a hit, the fans don't give that great a response, and the other songs you think are ok, the fans love it!
Joining the discord! See you there
