For a very very long time now, I’ve had this insanely crazy addiction to music from commercials. It doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s a song that’s catchy, I must have it!

There is even this whole community of people who seek out such music and that makes me happy because I’m not a freak. AdTunes and @adtunes are the people who find the music and then share it with the rest of us. I’ve even contributed a few times. Once erroneously in a bad way too.

Here is a list of all my “adtunes”. Yes I made a genre called “adtunes” in iTunes so that I could have them when I felt the need. It’s not wrong. It’s just right! It also mentions the commercial in which I heard the song.
