Songs like "Can't Hold Us" (Windows 8 and Miller Beer ads), "Radioactive" ( Assassin's Creed 3 ad, The Host movie trailer), "I love It" (ShoeDazzle ad and more) are topping the US itunes and selling more than songs with much bigger audience on the radio at the moment. Another good example is Kelly Clakson's "Stronger" (Toyota ad). Is television exposure becoming a better way to sell downloads than the radio playing your song? Your thoughts, please. Cheers.

Yes, most of the popular music I hear is through commercials since I don't listen to the radio

yes, duh. More in your face and gives you a visual

I just finished taking an advertising class at my college and we discussed this topic.

Television is the most utilized communication medium. Practically every household has a television whereas not all of them have radios. Also, radio could be in danger of becoming a dying medium. Some cars being produced in 2013 don't have radios built into them anymore since people prefer to connect their ipods to their cars with auxiliary cables and listen to their own music.

TV exposure is definitely a lot better for artists nowadays.

Wow, that's very interesting. I didn't know that.
