With the success of Cream (only two of the band's three members had previously achieved significant fame), the term also came to include groups that sold huge numbers of albums and headlined massive concerts, regardless of the previous fame of the individual members. However, the term as correctly applied refers to the architecture, not the achievements, of the group. By any standards, it is not a rigidly defined category and has become, more than anything, a marketing term.
Supergroups tend to be short-lived (often lasting only for an album or two), perhaps because of the natural conflict of Ego s between established stars. Also, some supergroups were formed as Side-project s that were never intended to be permanent.
