Myth No 1-Though Nadigar Thilagam is a wonderful Actor,he is not Number one in Box Office-
I don't want to be opinionated in this statement as even the people of opposing views will agree that MGR is the closest to Nadigar Thilagam in competition and they were active competitors from 1952 to 1978.We will compare these periods(Active direct Competing years) with the information taken from the Film News Anandhan's publication by the AIADMK Government which can't be disputed.
The period 1952 to 1960- Sivaji acted in 66 Films of which 19 crossed 100 days ,results in success rate of 28.7%.The same period M.G.R acted in 22 Films of which 5 crossed 100 days ,success rate of 22%
1961 to 1970 -Sivaji acted in 77 Films of which 33 Films crossed 100 Days and success rate is 42.8% MGR acted in 62 Films of which 21 crossed 100 days ,success rate is 33.8%.
1971 to 1978-Sivaji acted in 56 Films of which 28 crossed 100 days,success rate of 50 %.MGR acted in 26 Films of which 13 crossed 100 Days,success rate of 50%.
1952 to 1978-of 27 years of direct Competition,Sivaji acted in 199 Films ,ofwhich 80 crossed 100 days,success rate of 40.2%.
MGR acted in 110 Films ofwhich 39 crossed 100 Days ,success rate of 35.4%.
Average movie per year for Sivaji is 7.37 ofwhich 2.96 movies crossed 100 Days.
Average Movie per Year for MGR is 4.07 ofwhich 1.44 per year crossed 100 Days.
It is to be left to the judgement of the people to verify the validity of this common myth propogated by the persons with vested motives.I just stated the plain facts and figures.

Despite of acting in high number of releases of one movie in every 49.5 Days,the Box office Emperor sivaji gave 40.2 Success Rate.

Myth No 3- MGR Movie songs are better than other movie songs-
Again this is not quantifiable as it is subjective and this perception and propaganda requires some Qualitative analysis-
1)NT Movies -USP is NT as No 1.Unfortunately even exceptional musics in Karnan,Pudiya Paravai ,Uthama puthiran took the back seat and suffers in comparison with NT's exemplary performance.MGR USP is Songs,Heroines,Colour and Locales,Entertainment quotient,Comedians and MGR figures in intangible way without direct contribution(Based on induced Charisma).No wonder ,songs are raved in MGR Films even if they are not exemplary.
2)Situations and characters are so varied in NT Films and reflects in variety of songs like Andha Naal gnabagam,Ponnondru Kanden,Enge Nimmadhi,Un Kannil Neer Vazindhal,Malargalai Pol,Malarnthum Malaradha,Yaar Andha to name a few.They cant be proto-typed as most of MGR songs are and MGR Songs are composed on easy Ragas like Nata Bairavi and very light flowing tunes and they are either duets or theme solos(Can be used in any of his Films).They are easy for the lower IQ masses.
3)The music is not only good in NT&MGR Films but they are equally good in Gemini,SSR,Ravichandran and Jai Movies during the peak of MSV,TKR,KVM from 1960 to 1969.After 1969,Barring few movies like USV and VM ,others were mediocre and nothing to rave about.This has paved the way for Hindi songs in early 1970s and later led to red carpet welcome to Ilaya raja in 1976.1950-1959-Very few songs were exceptional and they are mainly from GR.A.M.Raja was an exceptional music Director and a trend-setter but never worked with Nt/MGR barring Vidivelli with NT in 1960.
4)If you list good songs to record,you will find an even distribution irrespective of actors and it is period dependant.
