A "Hit Single" is this quarter's chart topper. The Dos Equis spot, scored by Beacon Street Studios, features a wonderfully absurd rendition of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
Among the notable work that also made the Top Ten Tracks Chart are Apple's "Bounce, Taco Bell's "Chasing Gold" and Procter & Gamble's "The Look."
Featured in the mix is the talent of such music/sound houses as Barking Owl, Q Department, Yessian Music, SOUTH, New Math, duotone audio group, and Shindig Music and Sound.
So have a look–and a listen–to the best sounds that this quarter has to offer.
