2008 was yet another year that proved that well placed music in ads could lead to something of a commercial breakthough (last year it was Feist this year is Yael Naim and Santogold). Ad Age has compiled a list of the ten best Ad Songs of the year, and chose Saul Williams' "List of Demands" in a Nike commerical as their best. Among the ohters listed is Yael Naim's "New Soul" in the MacBook Air ad, Santogold's "Creator" in a Bud Light commercial, and Liars' "Clear Island" in a Timex commercial. For the full list, go here.
