I’ve compiled a comprehensive, but curated playlist of some of the best songs that Apple has used in commercials, product introductions, events, and more. You can stream it or add it to your library on . But I also wanted to acknowledge a few songs that were made particularly iconic thanks to their inclusion in Apple marketing materials over the years.

In May of 2008, Apple aired a d for iTunes set to a new song by one of Steve Jobs’ favorite bands. Coldplay debuted “Viva La Vida” on iTunes on May 7th, 2008 and to coincide with the release, Apple made their last iPod silhouette ad. “Viva La Vida” ended up being the number on the iTunes Store that year.

CSS’s “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex”

One of the wildest Apple marketing stories revolves around an ad for the first generation iPod touch. At Apple’s fall reveal, Steve Jobs played a that never aired. What did air was an ad made by a British student named Nick Haley. was published to YouTube and , Apple’s ad agency, who asked him to remake it for primetime. The ad, set to “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex,” had a completely different vibe compared to what Jobs showed at the keynote. It wasn’t very Apple, but that’s what makes it memorable. The whole saga made its way into .

Chairlift’s “Bruises”

The Asteroid’s Galaxy Tour’s “Around the Bend”

In 2008 Apple began to transform the way it marketed the iPod touch from an iPhone without the phone into a true game console.
