The same way trashy boyband slop sells everywhere else: they have a different taste than you and judge music differently.
With boy bands like The Backstreet Boys or the Beatles, they don’t go for some artsy music. All they need are songs that get stuck in your head and some pretty people singing them to get little girls/boys fawning over them.
And fun fact: their opinion is just as valid as yours. Because there is nothing as subjective as music.
Music not made by artists doing what they want, but a corporation deciding what is needed to check the boxes listed by market studies.
If anything, it is more soulless than even AI music. Although some people are into it.
