I've heard countless times that if you make good music it will sell, to some small extent that is true but its not the main factor, not even close. Recognise, understand and internalise the fact: MUSIC IS SUBJECTIVE, what you think is "skilled music" the next person might not. Often as a music producer or lyric writer you objectively analyse music but how many listeners can or would bother?
The number of ears on your music is obviously the biggest factor to sales, so it would come down to who has the most shareable content online or by word of mouth.
The success of music is based on whether or not it is remarkable and by remarkable I mean worth making a remark about. Using this thought music that is skilfully made (on its own without any other traits) is not remarkable because the average person can not even see that unless you point it out to them and break it down which in most cases would bore the crap out of them and you would lose your audience.
