Well if its popular. it will have a commercial value - just given the laws of supply and demand.

I'm not really sure what you mean. Everything that enters the commerce chain is by definition commercialised.

My Joe Heaney cd cost me ten times as much as my Frank Sinatra one did. Twenty quid and two quid respectively. So you could say Joe was ten times more commercialised than Frank.
