the $ behind the music

shows like smallville, laguna beach, veronica mars and charmed (alright i shouldn't be watching that but that alyssa milano...) feature music prominently, often including a credit at the end of the show.

the impact--of these plum placements is examined. while the monetary windfall isn't huge, the buzz can help. witness the bump an 80s hit had after some key placement.
