All,

This is a resurrected post from earlier in the year. I thought it was appropriate and could shed some light on the tunes licensed most often.

While Advertising Age published their list of top Ad songs of 2008, I thought it might be fitting to publish the unofficial Naxos Records top Licensed Classical works for Advertising, Film and TV of 2008. (click the links to see the ads)
