Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

The rule that a song becomes popular after being featured in a commercial hasn’t changed, past or present.

When a song is used in a well-received commercial and goes viral along with it—that’s a classic winning pattern.

For those who want to quickly check out these talked-about CM tracks, this article introduces Western songs featured in buzzworthy commercials!

With foreign songs, it can be hard to figure out the track when you don’t understand the lyrics—but we generally include both the actual commercial footage and the song’s music video, so it should be easy to check.

We update this article regularly with the latest information, so be sure to bookmark it!
