Most artists make a living out of performing, and money comes hand in hand with success.

What your failing to realise though is that there are different types of success.

Pink Floyd are one of the biggest selling and one of the most critically acclaimed bands in the world. Using your definition they are almost a one hit wonder, having just two charting singles - Money and Brick In The Wall II. They certainly failed at the ol' aiming for the charts, but were they a faliure of a band? Hell no.
