2) The subtle "mood" or "atmospheric"
music used to accompany motion pictures and television shows.
It is other than theme or feature music.
Background music is used to cause a psychological
or physiological effect on the audience, e.g., to emphasize the
action taking place in a motion picture.
Background music suppliers have a library of thousands of selections. They are offered on CD, FM sideline, and by satellite transmission.

Commercial Song:
A song that has been, or has the potential
to be, a mass marketed song. These songs may or may not have artistic
excellence, but bring immediate results with regard to revenue
and prestige to those who exploit them. Their immediate mass appeal
lies in their special imagery and catchy melody and/or lyrics
which usually contains a hook. Some may have an element of mystery
(e.g., in a love song). They usually are contemporary and have
an identifiable style or feel, but sometimes their appeal lies
in their fresh and unique quality. Also, the timing of the release
to the public, the appeal of the artist who initially performs
the song, the amount of airplay it receives, or the effectiveness
of its distribution may all be determining factors as to whether
or not a song will have commercial success, i.e., be commercial.
