As the author, it's difficult for you to judge what will appeal to the public at large. After all, there are many songwriters who wrote best-selling hits that they just didn't care for at all ("Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi comes to mind as an example, but there are many, many more). You're just too close to it to see what the public would like.

Also, "more popular" is not the same as "better". The best example of that is Paris Hilton.
