Whereas a handful of commercials had used in style music prior to now, it was a comparatively rare incidence. A part of the resistance to the idea were the artists themselves. Very few high forty songs were available for licensing at the moment. But two influential concepts had converged to half the waters.

One was the success of The large Chill and its soundtrack. The other was the launch, two years earlier, of a new tv station. The intersection of The large Chill and MTV created an opportunity for both advertisers and music publishers. Each out of the blue saw the potential of using songs in commercials.
