Was watching the Oxford and Cambridge boat race on Saturaday, and when they were introducing the rowers profiles they played some of The Game Has Changed (just the last part of it).
They may have played more of it, but I only tuned in at the end of that bit. :-P

AND AGAIN! Amazing!

Was watching a show on TV last night called Superstar. It's one of those sing-and-dance reality shows where, each week someone has to perform infront of a group of judges/the audience, and then get voted off one by one until there's only one winner left who goes on to perform on stage, etc.
Anyway, during the token 'whose going and whose staying' clips they played some of the Legacy soundtrack, this time they sampled Outlands (again).

Can I just say I never realised just how popular this soundtrack really is!

I've caught some of the T:L soundtrack played on The Weather Channel during the Local on the 8's hahah

The pair I could identify were Journey's "Separate Ways" and Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams."

Was watching a Top Gear Special last night, in which Richard Hammond talks us through all the classic cars that were featured in the James Bond films.
This included the Lotus Esprit which turned into a submarine, and to emphasis the point he decided to build his own Lotus that turns into a submarine.

Amazingly, it worked and they showed it on screen.

And has they were showing it they played a sample of the Legacy soundtrack. They played the Arrival soundtrack.

Hrm, good question. It could be Disney's pushing it for further marketing angles. Maybe 'cause it's cool. Maybe because marketers think the film was more "cool" than it actually was, or it's possible they see it as some sort of "wave of the future" thing they want to tap into. Or marketing teams are all closet Tron fans.

To be honest with you, there aren't that many soundtrack tracks I would recognize if I heard them, aside from this one and a few others (I would probably totally miss even some from my favorite movies that I've watched over and over again), so for all I know, a LOT of soundtracks are popular on radio and commercials and I just don't know because I don't recognize the music. (It makes sense-- this was music that was specifically written to be background music, so it's probably easier to use than "regular" stuff that wasn't.)

(Weren't a few of the most-recognize themes from the Matrix soundtracks used a lot in commercials and trailers and stuff during that time?)
