Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
From Amazon:
"Oh my God, I'm a trend pimp!" cries rocker Josie McCoy (Rachel Leigh Cook) when she discovers that she and her best friends Melody (Tara Reid) and Val (Rosario Dawson)--collectively known as the Pussycats--have been recruited in a plot to brainwash America's youth into a frenzy of mindless consumerism. Unbeknownst to the Pussycats, subliminal messages in their chart-topping hit "Pretend to Be Nice" are forcing kids to follow the latest prefab trends as if their lives depended on it. Josie's going to be the Next Big Thing, and to her manager (Alan Cumming) and Megarecords mogul Fiona (Parker Posey), the other Pussycats are expendable baggage...

This is one of the most misunderstood comedies in recent years. It is not really about the titular Archie comic rockers, it is about consumerim, brain-washing and capitalist America.
Josie and the girls become the product of a Svengali-like record producer played brillianly by Parker Posey. She is a weird as f*ck woman...
