UMPG’s Film & TV team have placed songs from our catalogue in a wide range of Christmas commercials this year – our writers are taking over your TV.

Keep your elf ears open while you’re watching telly this festive season and you’ll hear tracks from Elvis Costello, The Go-Go’s, Seinabo Sey, Run DMC and Chinn and Chapman sound-tracking many of the leading Christmas spots.

You’ll also hear a specially written new track by Gabrielle Aplin, using her distinctive voice to complement jewellery brand Pandora's Christmas spot. It's a big win as the piece was specifically composed by Gabrielle for the campaign and will air internationally.

Love ‘em or loath ‘em, Friday 12th December is Christmas Jumper Day, and to help make the world better-with-a-sweater, Save The Children produced an energetic advert featuring Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up”.  Baileys picked ‘We Got The Beat’ by the Go-Go’s to soundtrack their ad and an innovative remix of Seinabo Sey’s debut single ‘Younger’ graces House Of Fraser’s touching Christmas offering.

It was Run DMC’s hip hop standard ‘Christmas In Hollis’ that struck a Christmas chord for Argos, and NatWest was able to explain to customers that it won’t leave you ‘Lonely This Christmas’ if you lose your credit card thanks to the Chinn and Chapman classic.
