PRS For Music has revealed that music publishers and composers earned nearly £10 million in 2012 from UK public performance royalties paid in relation to music that appeared in TV and radio advertising. £1.9 million was paid by the radio industry to the publishing sector rights agency to cover the music that appeared in ads, while TV commercials netted the PRS £8 million. The society also revealed that of all the music that airs on commercial television, about 10% is in the ads. Top ad music was 'Over There' by George Cohan, used in the Go Compare ads, followed the Village People's 'YMCA' for Confused.com. Elsewhere in the most played ad music chart is a track co-penned by Speech Debelle and used in a Sky ad, and hits from Blur and Take That, used by British Gas and Morrisons supermarket chain respectively.
