Successful is what they are. Can you really say that whatever genre they have dabble in, that they haven't gotten more sccessful than the others?

Scooter managed to have at least(!) one Single in the German one TOP100 charts 24 years in a row. There is no other act that comes even close to that!
Since Rick Jordan left they changed their songwriting and production style drastically. On the Albums they always had original tunes, mostly the trance tunes non of you even know ( :P ) but with the newer albums there is more original content on there. In my exes that didn't make the music better though.

Well, it's kinda necro post, but I guess some of you will be surprised:

Yeah it works for Scooter. I do like a good number of their tracks, yeah their early stuff was decent and tracks from around the same time as Nessaja. Friends is one of my fav Scooter tracks, first track heard from them.

You'd be surprised how many people loved Scooter. I used to be able to blast their tracks through the PA of the biggest pub/venue in my city. The owner, my boss and the senior bartender were all super into it. Sometimes it would still play even after opening the doors for customers and they wouldn't give a f*ck for like 30 minutes, even though it wouldn't be the music they usually play. I remember a group of younger customers cheering as the Scooter played. While I can't say i'm a fan of Scooter, I am happy for them being who they are and reaching mainstream. It definitely helps a lot bridging the cap between mainstream and true UK Hardcore. I was blasting all kinds of UK hardcore while cleaning the bar(while the venue was closed) and none of them minded at all. Let me remind you, in my country UK hardcore is unheard of. Scooter for older folks and hardstyle for younger folks is pretty much the closest thing to hardcore here.

Is Hardstyle very popular in Estonia? I know people from Finland travel to Hardstyle festivals/events there, some times for Trance line ups as well
