Commercial Songs by Male Western Artists: CM Songs, Commercials, and Popular Track Rankings [2025]

I’ve put together a ranking of popular commercial songs—limited to those by male Western artists.

Despite how catchy commercial songs are and how easily they get stuck in your head, have you ever realized you don’t even know whose song it is? Here, you might be able to solve at least one of those mysteries.

The track used in ABC Television’s campaign advertisement.

Released in 2000 by the British rock band Coldplay, it became a hit around the world.

The song is about the desire to do something for someone, and the title “Yellow” means “cowardice” or “fear.”

East 17 – Stay Another Day (Official Video)
Stay Another DayEast 17

A track released in 1994 by the British boy band East 17.

Western male singers’ commercial songs: CM songs, commercials, and popular track rankings [2025] (31–40)

SheElvis Costello31rank/position

An Elvis Costello number that was used as the theme song for the British film Notting Hill and in a commercial for Toyota’s Ist.

The original is a work by the French singer Charles Aznavour.

Thanks in part to the film’s impact, it’s a sweet and heartrending tearjerker of a number.

Theme from New York, New YorkFrank Sinatra32rank/position

Theme From New York, New York (2008 Remastered)

The song you often hear in Kirin Ichiban Shibori commercials was created as the theme for the 1977 film “New York, New York.” It was originally sung by Liza Minnelli, but the version covered by Frank Sinatra later became the most well-known.

It’s said to have been used in the Ichiban Shibori commercials since 2012.

For some reason, that relaxed brass sound perfectly fits the vibe of a beer commercial, doesn’t it?

Winter WonderlandFrank Sinatra33rank/position

Frank Sinatra is one of the most famous jazz vocalists in the world.

“Winter Wonderland,” which was used as the song for Google’s ‘The Colder the Winter’ commercial, is one of his signature tracks.

His warm voice is so soothing.

Got My Mind Set On YouGeorge Harrison34rank/position

George Harrison – Got My Mind Set On You (Version II)

The Casillero del Diablo commercial titled “Inner Urge” is cool, with visuals of people dancing to “Got My Mind Set On You.” From scenes of a man dancing solo to groups of men and women dancing together, the product’s concept is presented in English to match the various dance scenes—an unforgettable and very stylish touch.

The background song is best known through George Harrison’s cover, and its lyrics, which convey the sincerity of one’s feelings for a loved one, are especially appealing.

I Got You ( I Feel Good )James Brown35rank/position

James Brown – I Got You (I Feel Good) (Visualizer)
I Got You ( I Feel Good )James Brown

This is a commercial introducing the deliciousness of The Peel, a lemon sour made with lemon peel.

Yo Oizumi passionately explains how the slightly bitter flavor from the lemon peel creates a mature, grown-up taste.

It’s true that sours highlighting juice are common, but ones that spotlight the peel are rare—so you can’t help but wonder what it tastes like! The BGM is James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good).” Released in 1964, the song features irresistibly funky vocals.
