HP sells music for Apple
· Software · 2 posts · Jan 5, 2004 View original thread ↗
For the last few weeks my wife and I have been enjoying the series of HP comercials in that uses The Cure's "Pictures of You" as a soundtrack. The first time I saw it, I went right out to iTMS to see if they had it, which they did. I happened to notice that it was listed at number 8 on top downloads for the Cure and attributed it's popularity to the HP commercials.
I didn't buy it at the time, but went back a few days later a noticed it had moved up to number 4 on the list. Again, for reasons I can actally explain, I didn't buy, but went back last night and it had moved to the number 1 spot, and like the good lemming I am, I hit the purchase button.

It's so nice that other people are running ads for iTMS, even if they don't mean to.
That could happent to anyone who puts music in their commercials.

The question is did it help Apple sell an iPod? That's where they make money.
