I think this ignores what actually makes a pop song popular and a hit. It isn't the chord progression or melody, at least primarily. It is the marketing.
Plus, I assume that major studios have already been using stastical-based software for decades to help craft songs to fit the current vogue. There's a reason why many songwriters and producers write songs for Kpop and state those songs could never be released in the U.S.
