Far from thebeeps and blips of video games past, modern videogames incorporate popular music as a core componentof their creative expression; so much so, in fact, that therelease of the latest soundtrack to Madden or Grand TheftAuto is an event secondary only to the actual release of the game.Increasingly, popular music is not only an added value to the backgroundof the game, but is actually the featured star of the game.Console games like Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, and KaraokeRevolution put music front and center, allowing players to perform ordance to their favorite songs. A new crop of online games like NexonAudition and a host of online karaoke games pit the player againstother competitors on a worldwide basis, letting them flex their musicalskills against a virtually unlimited array of players, while also creatingopportunities for both established and emerging musical artists alike.Universal Music Publishing Group has been a huge beneficiary of thistrend towards using popular music in video games, scoring placementsin both music-based and non-music-based games across the spectrumof gaming. Key 2007 placements for Coburn, Tom Vek, Whitey, LupeFiasco, the Grand National, the Klaxons, and Jim Jones highlight thepromotional value of being involved in this emerging area of media.CAMPAIGNSRECENT HIGHLIGHTSAPPLE IPHONE“PERFECT TIMING (THISMORNING)”(DAVIS)ORBA SQUARACHEVROLET“TAKE ME AS I AM”(HILSON/LEWIS/NELSON/NKHEREANYE/SMITH/SUECOF)MARY J.
