This isn't strictly movie related, yet. I just discovered one of these songs today and one a couple weeks ago. A musician friend of mine once said I had very commercial taste in music. Most of the music I like seems to end up being used in various movies so I would imagine these songs will end up in one sooner or later. I noticed on youtube people are posting the Matt Alber one and suggesting it be used in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight.
The last album I really liked was Mika's Life In Cartoon Motion, those songs turned up in multiple movies and trailers.
Enjoy..

One of my favorite pieces of music is in so many trailers!
One thing I like about the internet is how easy it is to find things out as opposed to the stone ages before. Back in the stone age there was this piece of music I kept hearing in trailers and commercials etc that I really liked but never knew what it was called. I finally found out somehow. Nowadays if I want to know what the music in a trailer is I can find out in a few minutes.
The music I like is part of a longer selection by Greig called In the Hall of The Mountain King. I can think of at least two recent trailers that use it and some older ones. The 1993 Needful things trailer was really well done, I remember showing it in front of films and going out to watch it each time just to listen to the music. I think that was before I knew what it was so I couldn't get it on CD.
Below are two recent films that use the piece, if you don't recognize the music you don't watch a lot of trailers or commercials.
Chaos Theory is apparently supposed to come out on Friday, must be a limited release. BTW, don't read the About This Video section if you go back to youtube, it contains a spoiler.

I'm so embarassed.
There's this song I've heard quite a few times on the radio etc that I really liked but didn't know who sang it. It's quite poppy and sung by a young sounding woman so I figured it was Lindsay Lohan or Kelly Clarkson or someone like that.
On the advice of one of my staff I typed a few of the lyrics into google and found out who the singer is: Paris Hilton.
I'm so embarrassed, but I still like the song.
