I'll put it this way, bands who play what's popular at the time are most likely to get signed. That doesn't necessarily mean they started playing that just to catch on to the trend, they could have been playing it for years before it became popular. Once a band gets in the studio, I think it really shows on the record how much the band influenced it, or some poppy producer influenced it, and a lot of times, albums that were really overproduced, and really fake sounding sell pretty well.
