Welcome to the Jungle came out in 1987. That means there was a whole 7 years prior to that in the 1980's. Some of us were alive back then and listening to the popular radio music of the day which was Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson and even Stevie Wonder. So, the parents that were giving our his records to pre-teens were probably thinking that he was mega popular with that age group at the time.
There could be worse people to have been popular in that age group. These days you would be hard pressed to find an 'artist' that appeals to that age group that can sing live let alone write an actual song.
